Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

Joost Wolf mainly investigates Climate change, Simulation modeling, Crop yield, Agriculture and Yield. His Climate change study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Agronomy. His work on Crop as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Yield, thus linking different fields of science.

His Crop yield research incorporates elements of Hydrology, Agricultural engineering and Environmental resource management. His Agriculture course of study focuses on Global warming and Growing season and Regression analysis. His Yield gap research integrates issues from Food security and Agricultural economics.

His most cited work include:

  • Rising Temperatures Reduce Global Wheat Production (801 citations)
  • Uncertainty in Simulating Wheat Yields Under Climate Change (749 citations)
  • Yield gap analysis with local to global relevance—A review (728 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agriculture, Climate change, Agronomy, Environmental resource management and Yield gap. His Agriculture research incorporates themes from Adaptation, Scale, Agricultural economics and Environmental planning. In his research, Growing season is intimately related to Yield, which falls under the overarching field of Climate change.

Agronomy and Soil water are commonly linked in his work. His research integrates issues of Adaptation strategies, Systems analysis, Land use and Sustainable development in his study of Environmental resource management. His Yield gap study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Agricultural engineering, Crop simulation model and Food security.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agriculture (35.53%)
  • Climate change (28.29%)
  • Agronomy (22.37%)

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

  • Agronomy (22.37%)
  • Crop (16.45%)
  • Climate change (28.29%)

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

Joost Wolf mostly deals with Agronomy, Crop, Climate change, Agriculture and Crop yield. His studies in Crop integrate themes in fields like Sowing, Soil water, Soil nitrogen, Yield and Food security. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cropping and Baseline.

His Agriculture research includes elements of Natural resource, Agricultural economics and Yield. Joost Wolf is studying Yield gap, which is a component of Yield. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agroforestry and Agricultural engineering.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rising Temperatures Reduce Global Wheat Production (801 citations)
  • Can sub-Saharan Africa feed itself? (280 citations)
  • Multimodel ensembles of wheat growth: many models are better than one (254 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Climate change
  • Ecology

Climate change, Agronomy, Crop, Crop yield and Yield are his primary areas of study. In the field of Climate change, his study on Climate model overlaps with subjects such as Simulation modeling and Impact assessment. Joost Wolf has included themes like Food security and Global change in his Agronomy study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Consistency, Estimator and Environmental resource management in addition to Crop yield. His research in Yield intersects with topics in Agriculture and Agricultural engineering. His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Global warming, Atmospheric sciences and Growing season.
