Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Archaeology

Katarina Čufar focuses on Cambium, Xylem, Botany, Ecology and Growing season. Katarina Čufar studied Cambium and Abies alba that intersect with Toxicology and Crown. In her study, Fagus sylvatica and Beech is inextricably linked to Phenology, which falls within the broad field of Xylem.

Her study involves Phloem and Tracheid, a branch of Botany. Her study in the field of Dendroclimatology also crosses realms of Tree. Her Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dendrochronology and Mediterranean climate, Aleppo Pine.

Her most cited work include:

  • Old World megadroughts and pluvials during the Common Era (271 citations)
  • A synthesis of radial growth patterns preceding tree mortality (210 citations)
  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)

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

Katarina Čufar mainly focuses on Archaeology, Botany, Dendrochronology, Xylem and Cambium. Her work on Tracheid, Abies alba and Vascular cambium as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Altitude, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her research in Dendrochronology tackles topics such as Mediterranean climate which are related to areas like Pinus .

The Xylem study combines topics in areas such as Beech, Fagus sylvatica, Growing season, Picea abies and Phloem. Her studies deal with areas such as Ultrastructure and Ecology, Temperate climate, Phenology as well as Cambium. Her work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Northern Hemisphere and Scots pine.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Archaeology (30.23%)
  • Botany (27.44%)
  • Dendrochronology (25.58%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Dendrochronology (25.58%)
  • Fagus sylvatica (17.21%)
  • Beech (20.00%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Dendrochronology, Fagus sylvatica, Beech, Cambium and Mediterranean climate. Katarina Čufar combines subjects such as Genealogy, Aleppo Pine, Abies alba and Chronology with her study of Dendrochronology. In her research on the topic of Fagus sylvatica, Climatology is strongly related with Growing season.

She has researched Beech in several fields, including Swietenia macrophylla and Pinus oocarpa. Her Cambium research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phloem and Pinus . Her Xylem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Productivity and Picea abies.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees (46 citations)
  • High-Throughput DNA sequencing of ancient wood (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Archaeology

Katarina Čufar mainly investigates Climate change, Ecology, Xylem, Productivity and Fagus sylvatica. Her Climate change research integrates issues from Forest dynamics and Phenology. Her Vegetation and Range study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to DNA sequencing, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Katarina Čufar works in the field of Xylem, namely Cambium. Her studies in Productivity integrate themes in fields like Dendrochronology, Growing season, Botany and Arbutus unedo. Katarina Čufar has included themes like Picea abies and Temperate climate in her Fagus sylvatica study.
