Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Mycorrhiza, Mycelium, Fusarium oxysporum and Agronomy. Her Botany research includes elements of Phosphorus concentration and Pseudomonas putida. Her studies deal with areas such as Endophyte, Phycomycetes and Fungus as well as Mycorrhiza.

Her Fungus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Symbiosis and Spore. The various areas that she examines in her Mycelium study include Daucus, Petri dish, Hyphal growth, Hypha and Nutrient. Josée Fortin has researched Fusarium oxysporum in several fields, including Rhizosphere, Fungi imperfecti, Daucus carota and Root rot.

Her most cited work include:

  • Early events of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza formation on Ri T-DNA transformed roots (680 citations)
  • Growth responses of several plant species to mycorrhizae in a soil of moderate P-fertility: I. Mycorrhizal dependency under field conditions (501 citations)
  • Enhanced hyphal growth and spore production of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices in an in vitro system in the absence of host roots (372 citations)

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

Josée Fortin focuses on Botany, Mycorrhiza, Fungus, Agronomy and Laccaria bicolor. Her Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ectomycorrhizae, Inoculation and Ectomycorrhiza. Her Mycorrhiza study incorporates themes from Phycomycetes and Fusarium oxysporum, Horticulture.

Her Fungus research focuses on subjects like Colonization, which are linked to Nutrient. Her research integrates issues of Agriculture and Plant species in her study of Agronomy. Her work deals with themes such as Hebeloma, Laccaria, Interspecific competition and Cutting, which intersect with Laccaria bicolor.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (60.49%)
  • Mycorrhiza (35.80%)
  • Fungus (17.28%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2003-2021)?

  • Agronomy (14.81%)
  • Hydrology (4.94%)
  • Soil water (13.58%)

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

Her main research concerns Agronomy, Hydrology, Soil water, Agriculture and Soil science. She is involved in the study of Agronomy that focuses on Tillage in particular. Her work in the fields of Irrigation overlaps with other areas such as Subirrigation.

Her study in Soil water is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental chemistry and Distilled water. Her Cropping study in the realm of Agriculture interacts with subjects such as Globalization and Copper. Her work in Peat addresses issues such as Soil fertility, which are connected to fields such as Animal science.

Between 2003 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Managing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in cropping systems (145 citations)
  • Interactive effects of tillage and mineral fertilization on soil carbon profiles. (89 citations)
  • Environmental Mehlich-III soil phosphorus saturation indices for Quebec acid to near neutral mineral soils varying in texture and genesis (35 citations)
