What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary areas of study are Botany, Evergreen, Deciduous, Specific leaf area and Photosynthesis.
In general Botany, his work in Fagaceae is often linked to Relative growth rate linking many areas of study.
As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Deciduous, narrowing it down to issues related to the Ecosystem, and often Range.
His Specific leaf area research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nutrient and Horticulture.
His studies in Nutrient integrate themes in fields like Biomass, Limiting similarity, Biome and Plant functional type.
His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Ecology and Vegetation.
His most cited work include:
- The worldwide leaf economics spectrum (4498 citations)
- Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta-analysis. (1415 citations)
- Assessing the generality of global leaf trait relationships (1091 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Botany, Agronomy, Ecology, Mediterranean climate and Specific leaf area.
His work on Evergreen, Fagaceae, Respiration and Shoot as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Relative growth rate, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
As a part of the same scientific family, Rafael Villar mostly works in the field of Evergreen, focusing on Deciduous and, on occasion, Dry weight.
His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Soil water, Soil compaction, Woody plant and Nutrient.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ecology, Quercus suber and Growing season is strongly linked to Seedling.
Rafael Villar has researched Specific leaf area in several fields, including Range, δ13C and Horticulture.
He most often published in these fields:
- Botany (37.50%)
- Agronomy (30.68%)
- Ecology (30.68%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Agronomy (30.68%)
- Mediterranean climate (26.14%)
- Nutrient (11.36%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Rafael Villar mainly investigates Agronomy, Mediterranean climate, Nutrient, Prosopis pallida and Abiotic component.
His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Plant litter, Plant nutrition, Specific leaf area and Cycling.
His Mediterranean climate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Range, Woody plant, Botany, δ13C and Nutrient cycle.
His Woody plant study incorporates themes from Soil nutrients and Ecosystem.
His Ecosystem research is under the purview of Ecology.
He has included themes like Soil water and Plant physiology in his Nutrient study.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Root traits across environmental gradients in Mediterranean woody communities: are they aligned along the root economics spectrum? (26 citations)
- A Multidimensional Functional Trait Approach Reveals the Imprint of Environmental Stress in Mediterranean Woody Communities (24 citations)
- Relationships between leaf mass per area and nutrient concentrations in 98 Mediterranean woody species are determined by phylogeny, habitat and leaf habit (13 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary scientific interests are in Mediterranean climate, Plant physiology, Nutrient, Ecosystem and Woody plant.
His research combines Range and Mediterranean climate.
His study looks at the relationship between Plant physiology and topics such as Tree canopy, which overlap with Agronomy.
His Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Canopy, Dry matter and Crown.
His Ecosystem research entails a greater understanding of Ecology.
His work deals with themes such as Plant nutrition and Specific leaf area, which intersect with Woody plant.
