Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Agronomy, Environmental resource management, Grazing, Sustainable development and Ecosystem services. As a member of one scientific family, Michel Duru mostly works in the field of Agronomy, focusing on Plant community and, on occasion, Phenology and Poaceae. His studies in Environmental resource management integrate themes in fields like Cropping, Agricultural productivity, Arable land and Externality.

He works mostly in the field of Grazing, limiting it down to topics relating to Vegetation and, in certain cases, Land use. His Sustainable development study combines topics in areas such as Agroecological restoration, Agriculture, Agroecology and Adaptive management. His study deals with a combination of Ecosystem services and Conceptual framework.

His most cited work include:

  • How to implement biodiversity-based agriculture to enhance ecosystem services: a review (176 citations)
  • How to implement biodiversity-based agriculture to enhance ecosystem services: a review (176 citations)
  • Designing agroecological transitions; A review (136 citations)

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

Michel Duru spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Environmental resource management, Agriculture, Grassland and Grazing. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plant community and Nutrient. His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecosystem services, Climate change, Sustainable development, Livestock and Agroecology.

His study in Ecosystem services is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Adaptive management, Sustainable agriculture and Functional ecology. His research integrates issues of Natural resource economics and Sustainability in his study of Agriculture. The Grazing study which covers Forage that intersects with Agroforestry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (31.79%)
  • Environmental resource management (26.59%)
  • Agriculture (24.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Environmental resource management (26.59%)
  • Ecosystem services (20.23%)
  • Agriculture (24.28%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental resource management, Ecosystem services, Agriculture, Sustainability and Agroecology. Michel Duru does research in Environmental resource management, focusing on Adaptive management specifically. His biological study deals with issues like Agroecological restoration, which deal with fields such as Natural resource management.

His work deals with themes such as Sustainable agriculture, Functional ecology, Plant functional type and Land use, which intersect with Ecosystem services. Michel Duru focuses mostly in the field of Agriculture, narrowing it down to matters related to Natural resource economics and, in some cases, Ecological modernization, Organic farming and Externality. As part of one scientific family, Michel Duru deals mainly with the area of Agroecology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Environmental planning, and often Cultural landscape.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • How to implement biodiversity-based agriculture to enhance ecosystem services: a review (176 citations)
  • How to implement biodiversity-based agriculture to enhance ecosystem services: a review (176 citations)
  • Designing agroecological transitions; A review (136 citations)
