Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Statistics

James W. Jones focuses on Agronomy, Agriculture, Photosynthesis, Climate change and Decision support system. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water, Canopy and Carbon dioxide in addition to Agronomy. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Precipitation, El Niño Southern Oscillation, Grazing and Environmental resource management.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Crop yield, Phenology and Yield. His studies deal with areas such as Documentation, Software, Management science and Systems analysis as well as Decision support system. His work investigates the relationship between DSSAT and topics such as Cropping system that intersect with problems in Interface, Systems engineering, Modular programming and Software design.

His most cited work include:

  • The DSSAT cropping system model (2348 citations)
  • Assessing agricultural risks of climate change in the 21st century in a global gridded crop model intercomparison (1060 citations)
  • Decision support system for agrotechnology transfer: DSSAT v3 (832 citations)
