Robin Duponnois spends much of his time researching Botany, Mycorrhiza, Soil biology, Pisolithus and Symbiosis. His Botany research incorporates themes from Colonisation and Salinity. His studies in Mycorrhiza integrate themes in fields like Agronomy, Soil conditioner, Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Root nodule.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glomus, Species diversity, Soil microbiology and Introduced species. Robin Duponnois interconnects Soil classification, Mycorrhizosphere, Phosphate solubilizing bacteria, Phosphorite and Rhizosphere in the investigation of issues within Pisolithus. His Symbiosis research includes elements of Microbial population biology, Native plant, Woody plant, Invasive species and Acacia.

His most cited work include:

  • Changes in soil diversity and global activities following invasions of the exotic invasive plant, Amaranthus viridis L., decrease the growth of native sahelian Acacia species. (41 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Ecology, Agronomy, Forestry and Mycorrhiza. His research in Botany is mostly concerned with Acacia. His studies examine the connections between Acacia and genetics, as well as such issues in Invasive species, with regards to Woody plant.

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Botany, Symbiosis, Mediterranean climate and Horticulture. His Botany research includes elements of Rhizobia, Azospirillum brasilense and Internal transcribed spacer. The concepts of his Symbiosis study are interwoven with issues in Agriculture, Intercropping, Terrestrial plant, Abiotic component and Microbial inoculant.

Robin Duponnois focuses mostly in the field of Microbial inoculant, narrowing it down to matters related to Sustainable agriculture and, in some cases, Mycorrhiza. His study on Mediterranean Basin is often connected to Infectivity as part of broader study in Mediterranean climate. Many of his research projects under Horticulture are closely connected to Sterilization with Sterilization, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mediterranean forests, land use and climate change: a social-ecological perspective (35 citations)
  • Habitat- and soil-related drivers of the root-associated fungal community of Quercus suber in the Northern Moroccan forest (15 citations)
  • Genetic diversity of rhizobia associated with root nodules of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) in Tunisian calcareous soils (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mediterranean Basin, Botany, Agronomy, Mycorrhiza and Biodiversity. Robin Duponnois interconnects Forest ecology and Quercus suber in the investigation of issues within Mediterranean Basin. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Rhizobia and Internal transcribed spacer.

His studies deal with areas such as Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Eucalyptus, Acacia and Litter as well as Rhizobia. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil organic matter, Mycorrhizosphere and Nutrient. His biological study deals with issues like Beneficial organism, which deal with fields such as Symbiosis and Microbial inoculant.
