Overview

José M. Facelli is affiliated with the University of Adelaide in Australia and has contributed extensively to research within the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Environmental Science. Their work particularly focuses on various subfields including Plant Science, Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Agronomy and Crop Science.

Their research topics cover a wide range of areas such as Plant Parasitism and Resistance, Plant and Animal Studies, Agronomic Practices and Intercropping Systems, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Rangeland and Wildlife Management, Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis, and Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics.

José M. Facelli has published multiple papers in well-recognized venues. Some notable recent publications include:

  • Native parasitic plants: Biological control for plant invasions?, 2020, Applied Vegetation Science
  • The impact of a native hemiparasite on a major invasive shrub is affected by host size at time of infection, 2020, Journal of Experimental Botany
  • Response of soil microbial community structure, carbon and nitrogen cycling to drying and rewetting, 2023, Applied Soil Ecology
  • Defence responses of native and invasive plants to the native generalist vine parasite Cassytha pubescens - anatomical and functional studies, 2020, Australian Journal of Botany
  • Tree shelters facilitate brown oak seedling survival and establishment in a grazing-dominant forest of Bhutan, Eastern Himalaya, 2020, Restoration Ecology

They have collaborated frequently with several researchers including Robert M. Cirocco, Jennifer R. Watling, Evelina Facelli, Diego R. Guevara-Torres, and Timothy R. Cavagnaro.

José M. Facelli's research has appeared repeatedly in prominent publication venues such as Applied Vegetation Science, Restoration Ecology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, and the Journal of Experimental Botany. These venues reflect a strong engagement in topics related to vegetation science, ecological restoration, and biological sciences.
