Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Evapotranspiration, Stomatal conductance, Water-use efficiency and Soil water. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Water resources and Salinity, Soil salinity. His studies in Salinity integrate themes in fields like Lysimeter and Crop yield.

His work in the fields of Crop coefficient overlaps with other areas such as Eddy covariance. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Poaceae, Xylem and Botany. His Canopy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydrology, Mediterranean climate and Vapour Pressure Deficit.

His most cited work include:

  • Measurement and estimation of actual evapotranspiration in the field under Mediterranean climate: a review (410 citations)
  • 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)

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

Nader Katerji mainly focuses on Agronomy, Evapotranspiration, Salinity, Stomatal conductance and Water-use efficiency. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Halotolerance, Soil texture, Soil water and Saline water. His Evapotranspiration research includes elements of Mediterranean climate, Canopy and Vapour Pressure Deficit.

The Soil salinity research Nader Katerji 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. His Stomatal conductance research focuses on Water stress and how it relates to Forestry. As a part of the same scientific family, Nader Katerji mostly works in the field of Water-use efficiency, focusing on Poaceae and, on occasion, Ecophysiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (51.92%)
  • Evapotranspiration (42.31%)
  • Salinity (25.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2017)?

  • Evapotranspiration (42.31%)
  • Agronomy (51.92%)
  • Hydrology (21.15%)

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

Nader Katerji focuses on Evapotranspiration, Agronomy, Hydrology, Soil salinity and Irrigation. His Evapotranspiration research integrates issues from Canopy, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Crop. His studies deal with areas such as Soil texture, Soil water and Water quality as well as Agronomy.

His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil science and Range. His Soil salinity study results in a more complete grasp of Salinity. His Crop yield research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil classification, Straw and Stomatal conductance.

Between 2008 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Durum wheat and barley productivity in saline-drought environments. (79 citations)
  • 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)
  • The effect of soil texture on the water use efficiency of irrigated crops: results of a multi-year experiment carried out in the Mediterranean region. (44 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Water-use efficiency, Agronomy, Irrigation, Evapotranspiration and Soil water. As part of his studies on Water-use efficiency, Nader Katerji frequently links adjacent subjects like Penman–Monteith equation. His Evapotranspiration study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Canopy.

Nader Katerji interconnects Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology, Water balance, Biomass and Crop coefficient in the investigation of issues within Canopy. As a member of one scientific family, Nader Katerji mostly works in the field of Soil water, focusing on Crop yield and, on occasion, Salinity, Soil salinity, Straw, Poaceae and Hordeum vulgare. Nader Katerji has included themes like Soil classification, Deficit irrigation and Stomatal conductance in his Loam study.
