Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

Jørgen E. Olesen mainly investigates Agronomy, Climate change, Agriculture, Crop and Crop rotation. Jørgen E. Olesen interconnects Catch crop, Loam and Organic farming in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climatology, Crop yield, Environmental resource management and Yield.

His Agriculture research incorporates themes from Global warming, Land use, Greenhouse gas and Environmental protection. His Crop research integrates issues from Growing season, Anthesis, Phenology and Winter wheat. The concepts of his Crop rotation study are interwoven with issues in Cropping system and Agricultural science.

His most cited work include:

  • Consequences of climate change for European agricultural productivity, land use and policy (996 citations)
  • Rising Temperatures Reduce Global Wheat Production (801 citations)
  • Uncertainty in Simulating Wheat Yields Under Climate Change (749 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Climate change, Crop rotation, Agriculture and Manure. His research integrates issues of Soil water and Organic farming in his study of Agronomy. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climatology, Atmospheric sciences and Environmental resource management.

His Crop rotation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Leaching, Arable land, Cover crop, Loam and Tillage. His Agriculture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agroforestry, Land use, Greenhouse gas and Yield. His Manure study combines topics in areas such as Catch crop and Fertilizer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (43.28%)
  • Climate change (17.45%)
  • Crop rotation (16.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (43.28%)
  • Climate change (17.45%)
  • Agriculture (14.14%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Climate change, Agriculture, Cover crop and Land use. His Agronomy course of study focuses on Arable land and Nitrate. His Climate change study also includes

  • Land use, land-use change and forestry that intertwine with fields like Environmental resource management,
  • Agroforestry most often made with reference to Food security.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Natural resource economics, Nutrient, Water Framework Directive and Environmental protection in addition to Agriculture. His work is dedicated to discovering how Land use, Climate model are connected with Extensive farming and other disciplines. Jørgen E. Olesen works mostly in the field of Manure, limiting it down to concerns involving Crop yield and, occasionally, Irrigation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate change impact and adaptation for wheat protein (97 citations)
  • The FLUXNET2015 dataset and the ONEFlux processing pipeline for eddy covariance data (67 citations)
  • Decline in climate resilience of European wheat. (67 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Climate change

Jørgen E. Olesen focuses on Climate change, Agronomy, Environmental resource management, Global warming and Agriculture. His Climate change research includes elements of Food security, Phenology and Land use. As part of the same scientific family, Jørgen E. Olesen usually focuses on Phenology, concentrating on Boreal and intersecting with Agroforestry, Crop yield and Crop.

Agronomy is frequently linked to Soil management in his study. The various areas that Jørgen E. Olesen examines in his Global warming study include Water scarcity and Cellulase. His work on Crop management as part of general Agriculture study is frequently connected to Value, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
