Overview

Roberto Tognetti is affiliated with the University of Molise in Italy. Their research spans core areas in environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, focusing on subfields such as global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, atmospheric science, plant science, and insect science.

The main topics covered in their scholarly work include plant water relations and carbon dynamics, tree-ring climate responses, forest ecology and management, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, forest ecology and biodiversity studies, forest management and policy, and the effects of fire on ecosystems.

Tognetti's publication record features multiple papers in leading journals. Frequent venues include the Canadian Journal of Forest Research, iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, Forest Ecology and Management, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and the European Journal of Forest Research.

Some notable recent papers are:

  • Photoperiod and temperature as dominant environmental drivers triggering secondary growth resumption in Northern Hemisphere conifers, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
