Overview

Olivier Roupsard is affiliated with the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement in France and focuses their research on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences. Their work extensively covers several subfields including global and planetary change, forestry, soil science, plant science, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

Their research explores a range of scientific topics such as plant water relations and carbon dynamics, African botany and ecology studies, agroforestry and silvopastoral systems, soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, coffee research and impacts, remote sensing in agriculture, and agriculture and rural development research.

Olivier Roupsard has contributed to multiple publications in reputable journals. Notable recent papers include:

  • How far does the tree affect the crop in agroforestry? New spatial analysis methods in a Faidherbia parkland, 2020, Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment
  • SoilTemp: A global database of near-surface temperature, 2020, Global Change Biology
  • Using remote sensing to assess the effect of trees on millet yield in complex parklands of Central Senegal, 2020, Agricultural Systems
  • Microclimate estimation under different coffee-based agroforestry systems using full-sun weather data and shade tree characteristics, 2021, European Journal of Agronomy
  • Modeling the impacts of diffuse light fraction on photosynthesis in ORCHIDEE (v5453) land surface model, 2020, Geoscientific model development

The scientist frequently publishes in several key venues, most prominently Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment and Geoscientific model development, each with four publications. Other frequent publication venues are Global Change Biology with two publications, SSRN Electronic Journal with two publications, and the Journal of Hydrology with two publications.

Regular collaborators of Olivier Roupsard include Christophe Jourdan, Louise Leroux, Yélognissè Agbohessou, Josiane Seghieri, and Frédéric Dô. These coauthors have contributed to numerous joint works, with Christophe Jourdan appearing in eleven coauthored publications and Louise Leroux in eight.
