The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Mediterranean climate, Scots pine, Seedling and Herbivore.
Jorge Castro has researched Ecology in several fields, including Seed dispersal and Waterlogging.
His Mediterranean climate study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shrub, Woody plant, Evergreen and Understory.
Jorge Castro has included themes like Forest restoration and Reforestation in his Shrub study.
The concepts of his Scots pine study are interwoven with issues in PEST analysis, Woodland, Shoot and Native forest.
His work carried out in the field of Agroforestry brings together such families of science as Species richness, Forest dieback, Forest ecology, Ecosystem and Greenhouse gas.
His most cited work include:
- A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests (4059 citations)
- APPLYING PLANT FACILITATION TO FOREST RESTORATION: A META-ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF SHRUBS AS NURSE PLANTS (628 citations)
- Seedling establishment of a boreal tree species (Pinus sylvestris) at its southernmost distribution limit: consequences of being in a marginal Mediterranean habitat (316 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Jorge Castro focuses on Ecology, Mediterranean climate, Salvage logging, Ecosystem and Seedling.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological dispersal, Seed dispersal and Scots pine.
The Mediterranean climate study combines topics in areas such as Shrub, Reforestation, Herbivore, Woody plant and Plant community.
His research integrates issues of Biomass, Felling, Logging and Species richness in his study of Salvage logging.
Jorge Castro combines subjects such as Forestry, Climate change, Nutrient and Coarse woody debris with his study of Ecosystem.
His Seedling research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Range, Germination and Growing season.

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
His scientific interests lie mostly in Salvage logging, Ecosystem services, Disturbance, Logging and Ecology.
His Ecosystem services study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Ecosystem.
His studies in Ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Felling, Regeneration and Environmental resource management.
The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Seed dispersal and Seedling.
His Habitat research integrates issues from Biological dispersal and Relative species abundance.
His research integrates issues of Taxonomic rank, Agroforestry, Species richness and Mediterranean climate in his study of Biodiversity.
