Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Salinity, Soil salinity, Water-use efficiency and Stomatal conductance. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil texture, Water quality and Canopy. Soil salinity is a subfield of Soil water that he studies.

His Water-use efficiency study is associated with Irrigation. His research integrates issues of Sunflower, Lysimeter, Evapotranspiration, Saline water and Loam in his study of Stomatal conductance. His studies deal with areas such as Botany and Horticulture as well as Lysimeter.

His most cited work include:

  • Salinity effect on crop development and yield, analysis of salt tolerance according to several classification methods (256 citations)
  • Salt tolerance classification of crops according to soil salinity and to water stress day index (206 citations)
  • Osmotic adjustment of sugar beets in response to soil salinity and its influence on stomatal conductance, growth and yield (170 citations)

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

Marcello Mastrorilli spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Evapotranspiration, Water-use efficiency, Irrigation and Salinity. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Halotolerance, Mediterranean climate, Soil water and Stomatal conductance. His Evapotranspiration study incorporates themes from Sunflower, Canopy, Water balance and Crop.

His studies in Water-use efficiency integrate themes in fields like Cultivar, Sorghum, Soil texture, Water efficiency and Poaceae. His work is dedicated to discovering how Irrigation, Growing season are connected with Water stress and other disciplines. The Soil salinity research Marcello Mastrorilli does as part of his general Salinity study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Yield, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (68.00%)
  • Evapotranspiration (32.00%)
  • Water-use efficiency (31.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Agronomy (68.00%)
  • Irrigation (29.00%)
  • Biomass (13.00%)

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

Marcello Mastrorilli mainly investigates Agronomy, Irrigation, Biomass, Water-use efficiency and Evapotranspiration. Many of his studies on Agronomy involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Water quality. His Irrigation study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Soil water.

The various areas that he examines in his Biomass study include Wastewater, Waste management, Environmental engineering and Mediterranean climate. He works mostly in the field of Water-use efficiency, limiting it down to topics relating to Water efficiency and, in certain cases, Transpiration and Soil texture, as a part of the same area of interest. His work investigates the relationship between Evapotranspiration and topics such as Water balance that intersect with problems in Crop coefficient, Leaf area index, Land use and Drainage basin.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Productivity, evapotranspiration, and water use efficiency of corn and tomato crops simulated by AquaCrop under contrasting water stress conditions in the Mediterranean region (76 citations)
  • Physiological adaptations of five poplar genotypes grown under SRC in the semi-arid Mediterranean environment (15 citations)
  • Energy of biomass sorghum irrigated with reclaimed wastewaters (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Biomass, Brassica carinata, Biofuel and Conventional tillage. Marcello Mastrorilli has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Arid and Plant physiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Woody plant, Water-use efficiency, Water balance and Evapotranspiration, Crop coefficient in addition to Biomass.

Water-use efficiency is a subfield of Irrigation that he tackles. His Biofuel study combines topics in areas such as Energy modeling, Energy and Agricultural engineering. His study in Conventional tillage is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sowing, Cropping system, Crop and Net energy gain.
