Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Ecology, Mediterranean climate, Evergreen, Soil water and Ecosystem are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Litter and Atmospheric sciences in addition to Ecology. His work carried out in the field of Mediterranean climate brings together such families of science as Water balance, Surface runoff, Seasonality and Tree canopy.

His Evergreen study combines topics in areas such as Fagaceae and Deciduous. His work in Soil water tackles topics such as Leaf area index which are related to areas like Throughfall and Canopy. He combines subjects such as Nutrient and Nitrogen cycle with his study of Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Modeling temporal and large‐scale spatial variability of soil respiration from soil water availability, temperature and vegetation productivity indices (472 citations)
  • How Tree Cover Influences the Water Balance of Mediterranean Rangelands (322 citations)
  • The dehesa system of southern Spain and Portugal as a natural ecosystem mimic (264 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Ecology, Mediterranean climate, Evergreen and Agronomy. His research integrates issues of Nutrient and Horticulture in his study of Botany. His work deals with themes such as Shrubland, Fire regime, Surface runoff and Respiration, which intersect with Mediterranean climate.

His Evergreen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Seasonality, Phenology, Deciduous, Mediterranean vegetation and Stepwise regression. Richard Joffre has included themes like Throughfall, Soil water, Nitrogen cycle and Plant litter in his Agronomy study. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Organic matter and Water content.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (29.75%)
  • Ecology (19.83%)
  • Mediterranean climate (19.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Ecosystem (15.70%)
  • Chenopodium quinoa (4.96%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (6.61%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecosystem, Chenopodium quinoa, Atmospheric sciences, Mediterranean climate and Biodiversity. The concepts of his Ecosystem study are interwoven with issues in Greenhouse gas and Environmental resource management. His study in Chenopodium quinoa is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Taproot, Agronomy and Ecotype.

Richard Joffre focuses mostly in the field of Atmospheric sciences, narrowing it down to topics relating to Vegetation and, in certain cases, FluxNet and Leaf area index. His work focuses on many connections between Mediterranean climate and other disciplines, such as Botany, that overlap with his field of interest in Bioenergy, Phytoremediation, Partial least squares regression and Nutrient. To a larger extent, he studies Ecology with the aim of understanding Biodiversity.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Interpreting canopy development and physiology using a European phenology camera network at flux sites (73 citations)
  • Which strategy is best to predict soil properties of a local site from a national Vis–NIR database? (57 citations)
  • Relationships between photochemical reflectance index and light-use efficiency in deciduous and evergreen broadleaf forests (55 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Deciduous, Evergreen, Agronomy and Mediterranean climate. His work on Photorespiration, Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll and Photoprotection as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Ascorbic acid, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Evergreen research incorporates themes from Vegetation, Canopy, Physical geography and Phenology.

His studies deal with areas such as Chenopodium pallidicaule and Ecotype as well as Agronomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biodiversity and Species richness. Biodiversity is a subfield of Ecology that he explores.
