Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Mediterranean climate, Shrub, Stipa tenacissima and Ecosystem. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Microsite and Physical geography. The Mediterranean climate study combines topics in areas such as Shrubland, Surface runoff and Spatial variability.

His Shrub research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Understory and Pistacia lentiscus. His studies in Pistacia lentiscus integrate themes in fields like Nutrient, Competition and Seedling. The various areas that Jordi Cortina examines in his Stipa tenacissima study include Species richness and Tussock.

His most cited work include:

  • POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, AND NET EFFECTS IN GRASS–SHRUB INTERACTIONS IN MEDITERRANEAN SEMIARID GRASSLANDS (337 citations)
  • Do positive interactions increase with abiotic stress? A test from a semi-arid steppe (312 citations)
  • Pines and oaks in the restoration of Mediterranean landscapes of Spain: New perspectives for an old practice — a review (289 citations)

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

Ecology, Agronomy, Shrub, Stipa tenacissima and Mediterranean climate are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Sludge, Soil water and Nutrient. His Shrub research integrates issues from Understory and Pistacia lentiscus.

His Stipa tenacissima study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quercus coccifera, Vegetation, Species richness and Tussock. His study on Mediterranean Basin is often connected to Forest restoration as part of broader study in Mediterranean climate. In his work, Biodiversity, Restoration ecology and Ecosystem services is strongly intertwined with Agroforestry, which is a subfield of Mediterranean Basin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (25.86%)
  • Agronomy (22.41%)
  • Shrub (19.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Ecosystem services (6.03%)
  • Stipa tenacissima (19.83%)
  • Restoration ecology (9.48%)

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

Jordi Cortina spends much of his time researching Ecosystem services, Stipa tenacissima, Restoration ecology, Ecology and Steppe. Jordi Cortina has researched Ecosystem services in several fields, including Agroforestry, Environmental resource management and Land-use planning. His study in Stipa tenacissima is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vegetation and Seedling.

His Seedling research also works with subjects such as

  • Germination that intertwine with fields like Lichen and Tussock,
  • Perennial plant and related Microsite. He integrates Ecology with Genetic diversity in his research. He has included themes like Arid, Desertification and Frugivore in his Agronomy study.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Multi-criteria participative evaluation of Pinus halepensis plantations in a semiarid area of southeast Spain (34 citations)
  • One hundred priority questions for landscape restoration in Europe (30 citations)
  • Biological soil crust influence on germination and rooting of two key species in a Stipa tenacissima steppe (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Ecosystem services, Seedling, Steppe, Stipa tenacissima and Environmental resource management. Jordi Cortina combines subjects such as Perennial plant, Ecology and Soil fertility with his study of Seedling. The various areas that Jordi Cortina examines in his Steppe study include Agroforestry, Afforestation, Biodiversity, Vegetation and Litter.

His Stipa tenacissima research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agriculture and Ecosystem. His Environmental resource management research includes themes of Natural resource, Land use, Land-use planning and Water supply. Botany is closely attributed to Pistacia lentiscus in his research.
