Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Botany

Pirjo Peltonen-Sainio mainly focuses on Agronomy, Cultivar, Agriculture, Yield and Crop. Her Agronomy study typically links adjacent topics like Climate change. Her Climate change study incorporates themes from Cropping, Agroforestry, Temperate climate and Sowing.

Her Cultivar research includes elements of Photosynthesis and Greenhouse. Her Crop rotation study in the realm of Agriculture connects with subjects such as Precipitation. Her Yield study combines topics in areas such as Grain yield and Drought tolerance.

Her most cited work include:

  • Impacts and adaptation of European crop production systems to climate change (668 citations)
  • Agroclimatic conditions in Europe under climate change (245 citations)
  • Grain number dominates grain weight in temperate cereal yield determination: Evidence based on 30 years of multi-location trials (152 citations)

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

Pirjo Peltonen-Sainio mainly investigates Agronomy, Cultivar, Avena, Agriculture and Climate change. Her Agronomy research focuses on Hordeum vulgare, Crop, Growing season, Sowing and Yield. Her work deals with themes such as Plant breeding, Panicle, Tiller, Shoot and Poaceae, which intersect with Cultivar.

Her Avena research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Grain yield and Water content. Her study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sustainability, Land use and Yield. In the subject of general Climate change, her work in Global warming is often linked to Precipitation, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (64.29%)
  • Cultivar (36.36%)
  • Avena (20.78%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Agriculture (19.48%)
  • Agronomy (64.29%)
  • Climate change (17.53%)

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

Agriculture, Agronomy, Climate change, Land use and Agroforestry are her primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecological footprint, Scale and Environmental resource management in addition to Agriculture. Her Agronomy study focuses mostly on Cultivar, Crop yield, Hordeum vulgare, Yield and Crop.

Pirjo Peltonen-Sainio combines subjects such as Intercropping and Sowing with her study of Cultivar. Her Climate change research integrates issues from Phenology and Growing season. Her work carried out in the field of Growing season brings together such families of science as Global warming and Ecosystem services.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Pre-crop Values From Satellite Images for Various Previous and Subsequent Crop Combinations. (68 citations)
  • Cereal yield gaps across Europe (46 citations)
  • Eco-efficient production of spring barley in a changed climate: A Life Cycle Assessment including primary data from future climate scenarios (43 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Her primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Agronomy, Crop yield, Agroforestry and Crop. Her research on Climate change frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Cultivar. Her Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sowing, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Carbon dioxide and Hordeum vulgare.

In her works, Pirjo Peltonen-Sainio conducts interdisciplinary research on Agronomy and Yield. In her work, Crop management and Agricultural economics is strongly intertwined with Yield, which is a subfield of Crop yield. Her Crop study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Diversification, Rapeseed and Irrigation.
