Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Statistics

Loïc Pagès spends much of his time researching Root system, Botany, Root, Biological system and Ecology. His Root system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil structure, Soil water and Statistics. His Soil structure study incorporates themes from Soil classification and Fibrous root system.

In his works, Loïc Pagès performs multidisciplinary study on Botany and Elongation. His study connects Root system architecture and Biological system. His research investigates the connection between Zea mays and topics such as Ramification that intersect with issues in Plant physiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Root system architecture: opportunities and constraints for genetic improvement of crops. (468 citations)
  • A Novel Image Analysis Toolbox Enabling Quantitative Analysis of Root System Architecture (279 citations)
  • Water Uptake by Plant Roots: II – Modelling of Water Transfer in the Soil Root-system with Explicit Account of Flow within the Root System – Comparison with Experiments (230 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Root system, Botany, Root, Agronomy and Horticulture. His work on Root system architecture as part of general Root system study is frequently linked to Root, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study in the field of Shoot, Prunus and Meristem also crosses realms of Elongation and Branching.

In the field of Agronomy, his study on Biomass and Grassland overlaps with subjects such as Water uptake. In general Horticulture, his work in Cultivar is often linked to Lateral root linking many areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Three dimensional architecture and Root growth in addition to Biological system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Root system (44.13%)
  • Botany (38.55%)
  • Root (18.99%)

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

  • Root (18.99%)
  • Root system (44.13%)
  • Trait (4.47%)

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

Loïc Pagès focuses on Root, Root system, Trait, Agronomy and Biomass. His Root system study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biological system, Nutrient and Pinus pinaster. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil water, Water content and Transpiration.

His Soil water study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as 3d model and Root system architecture. He has included themes like Agricultural engineering, Intercropping, Melongena and Weed in his Biomass study. His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Order, Statistical model and Root growth.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Current knowledge and future research opportunities for modeling annual crop mixtures. A review (31 citations)
  • Connecting the dots between computational tools to analyse soil–root water relations (14 citations)
  • Root traits as drivers of plant and ecosystem functioning: current understanding, pitfalls and future research needs (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Loïc Pagès mainly focuses on Root, Ecology, Root growth, Ecology and Trait. Root is connected with Process, Set, Water flow, Data management and Data science in his study. His research integrates issues of Statistical model and Root system in his study of Ecology.

The concepts of his Root growth study are interwoven with issues in Order, Image processing software and Foraging. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Biosphere and Terrestrial ecosystem, Ecosystem. His study in Trait intersects with areas of studies such as Point, Interpretation, Meaning and Context.
