Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Erosion

Juan Puigdefábregas mainly investigates Hydrology, Surface runoff, Ecology, Understory and Canopy. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Hydrology, focusing on Soil science and, on occasion, Sediment. Juan Puigdefábregas has included themes like Sediment transport, WEPP and Water content in his Surface runoff study.

Juan Puigdefábregas specializes in Ecology, namely Land degradation. His Understory research includes elements of Shrub, Retama, Biomass and Soil fertility. The Vegetation study which covers Climatology that intersects with Mediterranean climate.

His most cited work include:

  • Facilitation between Higher Plant Species in a Semiarid Environment (407 citations)
  • The effect of land use on runoff and soil erosion rates under Mediterranean conditions (399 citations)
  • The role of vegetation patterns in structuring runoff and sediment fluxes in drylands (328 citations)

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

Juan Puigdefábregas focuses on Hydrology, Surface runoff, Vegetation, Arid and Soil water. His Hydrology research incorporates elements of Plant cover and Sediment. His research in Surface runoff focuses on subjects like Soil science, which are connected to Spatial heterogeneity and Shrubland.

His research in Vegetation intersects with topics in Digital elevation model and Land degradation. His Arid research integrates issues from Spatial ecology, Mediterranean climate, Climatology and Desertification. His Soil water course of study focuses on Shrub and Soil fertility and Biomass.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (41.30%)
  • Surface runoff (21.74%)
  • Vegetation (20.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Hydrology (41.30%)
  • Land degradation (15.22%)
  • Desertification (15.22%)

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

His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Land degradation, Desertification, Arid and Surface runoff. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Hydrology, Spatial heterogeneity is strongly linked to Almeria. The concepts of his Land degradation study are interwoven with issues in Agroforestry, System dynamics and Environmental protection.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Rangeland, Remote sensing and Land use in addition to Desertification. The various areas that Juan Puigdefábregas examines in his Arid study include Mediterranean climate, Plant cover and Historical climatology. His work deals with themes such as Sediment, Infiltration, Alluvial fan, River terraces and Erosion, which intersect with Surface runoff.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A review of runoff generation and soil erosion across scales in semiarid south-eastern Spain (160 citations)
  • Controls of infiltration–runoff processes in Mediterranean karst rangelands in SE Spain (74 citations)
  • Assessment and monitoring of land condition in the Iberian Peninsula, 1989–2000 (65 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Erosion

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hydrology, Surface runoff, Arid, Desertification and Vegetation. He combines subjects such as Soil crust and Soil science with his study of Hydrology. His studies deal with areas such as Sediment transport, WEPP, Siltation, Soil retrogression and degradation and Temporal scales as well as Surface runoff.

Arid is the subject of his research, which falls under Ecology. His Desertification research includes themes of Biodiversity, Climate change, Ecosystem, Spatial ecology and Land degradation. The Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Remote sensing and Land use.
