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)

  • 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.
