Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of investigation include Land use, Agroforestry, Shifting cultivation, Agriculture and Natural resource management. His specific area of interest is Land use, where Jean-Christophe Castella studies Land use, land-use change and forestry. Jean-Christophe Castella interconnects Mainland, Environmental protection, Habitat and Ecosystem services in the investigation of issues within Agroforestry.

In Ecosystem services, Jean-Christophe Castella works on issues like Land cover, which are connected to Sustainability. Jean-Christophe Castella has included themes like Natural resource economics, Environmental degradation and Agricultural economics in his Agriculture study. The Natural resource management study combines topics in areas such as Forest resource and Environmental resource management.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparing the input, output, and validation maps for several models of land change (485 citations)
  • Trends, drivers and impacts of changes in swidden cultivation in tropical forest-agriculture frontiers: A global assessment (351 citations)
  • Participatory Simulation of Land-Use Changes in the Northern Mountains of Vietnam: the Combined Use of an Agent-Based Model, a Role-Playing Game, and a Geographic Information System (304 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Jean-Christophe Castella focuses on Land use, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Environmental resource management and Livelihood. His Land use study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Deforestation and Environmental planning. The various areas that Jean-Christophe Castella examines in his Agriculture study include Poverty, Sustainability and Environmental protection.

His work in Agroforestry addresses issues such as Cropping, which are connected to fields such as Agroecology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Natural resource and Land-use planning. His Livelihood study which covers Socioeconomics that intersects with Rural development.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Land use (42.68%)
  • Agriculture (35.03%)
  • Agroforestry (33.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Land use (42.68%)
  • Agriculture (35.03%)
  • Agroforestry (33.76%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Jean-Christophe Castella spends much of his time researching Land use, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Environmental planning and Cropping. Jean-Christophe Castella works in the field of Land use, focusing on Shifting cultivation in particular. In the subject of general Agriculture, his work in Sustainable land management and Agrarian society is often linked to Social organization and Risk management, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Agroforestry research includes elements of Land cover and Deforestation. His Environmental planning research includes themes of Sustainable development, Environmental protection, Environmental resource management and Land-use planning. His Cropping research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Conservation agriculture, Sustainability and Agroecology.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Understanding the drivers of deforestation and agricultural transformations in the Northwestern uplands of Cambodia (22 citations)
  • Understanding the drivers of deforestation and agricultural transformations in the Northwestern uplands of Cambodia (22 citations)
  • REDD+ on hold: Lessons from an emerging institutional setup in Laos (16 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Deforestation, Land use, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Agroforestry and Government. His study on Deforestation is covered under Agriculture. He is interested in Land cover, which is a branch of Land use.

His study in Land use, land-use change and forestry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Additionality, Climate change, Shifting cultivation and Greenhouse gas. His Government research incorporates a variety of disciplines, including Developing country, Negotiation, Institution building, Southeast asia and Legislation.
