Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Massimo Tagliavini spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Botany, Fruit tree, Orchard and Iron deficiency. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nutrient and Horticulture, PEAR. Massimo Tagliavini has researched Fruit tree in several fields, including Rootstock and Calcareous.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil fertility, Chlorosis, Soil pH, Rosaceae and Nitrogen cycle in addition to Rootstock. In his study, Nutrient cycle and Soil classification is strongly linked to Malus, which falls under the umbrella field of Orchard. Massimo Tagliavini works mostly in the field of Iron deficiency, limiting it down to topics relating to Actinidia deliciosa and, in certain cases, Greening, Plant nutrition and Chlorophyll, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Iron deficiency and chlorosis in orchard and vineyard ecosystems (237 citations)
  • Agronomic means for the control of iron deficiency chlorosis in deciduous fruit trees (112 citations)
  • Iron Nutrition of Fruit Tree Crops (81 citations)

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

Massimo Tagliavini spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Horticulture, Orchard, Botany and Nutrient. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fruit tree and Soil water, Soil fertility. As part of the same scientific family, Massimo Tagliavini usually focuses on Fruit tree, concentrating on Chlorosis and intersecting with Chlorophyll and Calcareous.

His work on Pyrus communis, Malus, PEAR and Ripening as part of general Horticulture study is frequently linked to Urea, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His PEAR course of study focuses on Rootstock and Cultivar. His Orchard research also works with subjects such as

  • Soil respiration that intertwine with fields like Primary production,
  • Organic matter most often made with reference to Soil organic matter.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (47.14%)
  • Horticulture (42.14%)
  • Orchard (21.43%)

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

  • Agronomy (47.14%)
  • Orchard (21.43%)
  • Northern italy (2.86%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Orchard, Northern italy, Horticulture and Extraction. His work on Legume and Irrigation as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Water uptake, Biochar and Amendment, thus linking different fields of science. He has included themes like Mulch, Eddy covariance, Evapotranspiration and Evergreen in his Orchard study.

His Evapotranspiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fruit tree, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Ecosystem. He specializes in Horticulture, namely Veraison. His Extraction study also includes fields such as

  • Isotope analysis, which have a strong connection to Isotope fractionation, Pore water pressure, Oxygen-18 and Field conditions,
  • Environmental chemistry that intertwine with fields like Transpiration and Xylem.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nitrogen Nutrition of Fruit Trees to Reconcile Productivity and Environmental Concerns. (30 citations)
  • Evapotranspiration and crop coefficient patterns of an apple orchard in a sub-humid environment (8 citations)
  • Atmospheric nitrogen fixation by gliricidia trees ( Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp.) intercropped with cocoa ( Theobroma cacao L.) (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Massimo Tagliavini mainly focuses on Orchard, Soil water, Eddy covariance, Agronomy and Atmospheric sciences. Massimo Tagliavini combines subjects such as Perennial plant, Cover crop, Agroforestry, Deciduous and Agricultural land with his study of Orchard. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry, Isotope analysis, Oxygen-18 and Field conditions.

His Eddy covariance research includes elements of Fruit tree, Vapour Pressure Deficit, Evapotranspiration and Water-use efficiency. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Nitrogen fixation and Theobroma. Massimo Tagliavini integrates many fields in his works, including Atmospheric sciences, Crop coefficient, Time domain, Explained variation, Photosynthetically active radiation and Ecosystem.
