  • 2000 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Agronomy, Lolium perenne, Carbon dioxide, Trifolium repens and Botany. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Ecosystem and Soil fertility. His Lolium perenne study deals with the bigger picture of Poaceae.

He interconnects Perennial plant, Photosynthesis and Animal science in the investigation of issues within Carbon dioxide. His research integrates issues of Nitrogen fixation, Nitrogenase and Monoculture in his study of Trifolium repens. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climate change, Crop yield and Field conditions.

His most cited work include:

  • Food for Thought: Lower-Than-Expected Crop Yield Stimulation with Rising CO2 Concentrations (1144 citations)
  • Growth response of Trifolium repens L. and Lolium perenne L. as monocultures and bi‐species mixture to free air CO2 enrichment and management (219 citations)
  • Stimulation of Symbiotic N2 Fixation in Trifolium repens L. under Elevated Atmospheric pCO2 in a Grassland Ecosystem. (200 citations)

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

Josef Nösberger mostly deals with Agronomy, Botany, Trifolium repens, Lolium perenne and Photosynthesis. The various areas that Josef Nösberger examines in his Agronomy study include Nutrient, Carbon dioxide and Ecosystem. The Inflorescence research he does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Micropropagation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Trifolium repens research includes themes of Overwintering, Nitrogen fixation, Nitrogenase, Repens and Stolon. His study in Lolium perenne is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Monoculture, Nitrate, Nitrogen cycle and Human fertilization. His research investigates the connection with Photosynthesis and areas like Sucrose which intersect with concerns in Fructose.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (50.00%)
  • Botany (37.50%)
  • Trifolium repens (30.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2020)?

  • Agronomy (50.00%)
  • Lolium perenne (28.85%)
  • Perennial plant (12.50%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Lolium perenne, Perennial plant, Carbon dioxide and Ecosystem. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil water and Nutrient. His Lolium perenne research includes elements of Dry matter, Leaf area index, Dry weight and Biomass partitioning, Shoot.

His work in Dry matter covers topics such as Field experiment which are related to areas like Human fertilization and Poaceae. His research in Carbon dioxide intersects with topics in Photosynthesis, Crop yield and Animal science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Acclimatization, Botany, Photosynthetic capacity, Stomatal conductance and RuBisCO.

Between 2000 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Food for Thought: Lower-Than-Expected Crop Yield Stimulation with Rising CO2 Concentrations (1144 citations)
  • Is stimulation of leaf photosynthesis by elevated carbon dioxide concentration maintained in the long term? A test with Lolium perenne grown for 10 years at two nitrogen fertilization levels under Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) (155 citations)
  • Ten years of free-air CO2 enrichment altered the mobilization of N from soil in Lolium perenne L. swards (84 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Carbon dioxide, Lolium perenne, Perennial plant and Animal science. His study in Fertilizer, Vegetative reproduction and Human fertilization is done as part of Agronomy. His Human fertilization study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climate change, Crop yield and Field conditions.

His Carbon dioxide study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Photosynthesis. His Lolium perenne research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass partitioning and Dry matter. His work focuses on many connections between Animal science and other disciplines, such as Nutrient, that overlap with his field of interest in Trifolium repens.
