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

Ecosystem, Carbon dioxide, Soil water, Ecology and Atmospheric sciences are his primary areas of study. Paul G. Jarvis interconnects Photosynthesis, Carbon cycle, Agronomy and Hydrology in the investigation of issues within Carbon dioxide. Paul G. Jarvis studied Photosynthesis and Nutrient that intersect with Botany, Ecological succession, Woody plant, Nitrogen cycle and Shoot.

His Botany study incorporates themes from Allometry and Horticulture. His work in the fields of Forest ecology overlaps with other areas such as Saturation. His research investigates the connection between Atmospheric sciences and topics such as Eddy covariance that intersect with problems in Soil respiration, Photosynthetically active radiation, Canopy and Absorptance.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Drying and wetting of Mediterranean soils stimulates decomposition and carbon dioxide emission: the "Birch effect". (336 citations)
  • Effect of temperature and moisture on rates of carbon mineralization in a Mediterranean oak forest soil under controlled and field conditions (184 citations)
  • Soil respiration in a Mediterranean oak forest at different developmental stages after coppicing (159 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Ecosystem, Soil respiration, Soil water, Mineralization and Carbon dioxide. His studies deal with areas such as Rainforest, Biodiversity, Ecological succession and Plant ecology as well as Ecosystem. His studies examine the connections between Carbon dioxide and genetics, as well as such issues in Atmospheric sciences, with regards to Substrate, Isotopes of carbon and Photorespiration.

His study focuses on the intersection of Ecology and fields such as Quercus cerris with connections in the field of Agronomy and Water content. His research integrates issues of Canopy and Nutrient in his study of Agronomy. His research in Nutrient intersects with topics in Photosynthesis and Botany.
