Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

Sandrine Godefroid mainly investigates Ecology, Introduced species, Rare species, Species richness and Species diversity. Sandrine Godefroid undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Ecology and Light intensity in her work. Her Introduced species research incorporates themes from Plant species and Species translocation.

The various areas that she examines in her Rare species study include Old-growth forest, Pioneer species, Deciduous, Vascular plant and Urban forest. Her study in Species richness is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both High forest, Fagus sylvatica, Canopy and Quercus robur. Her Species diversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Abundance, Global biodiversity, Biodiversity, Habitat and Flora.

Her most cited work include:

  • How successful are plant species reintroductions (350 citations)
  • How successful are plant species reintroductions (350 citations)
  • Urban plant species patterns are highly driven by density and function of built-up areas (156 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Ecology, Flora, Agroforestry, Vegetation and Germination. All of her Ecology and Species richness, Species diversity, Introduced species, Biodiversity and Woodland investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study. Her work deals with themes such as Taxonomic rank, Rare species, Indicator value and Community structure, which intersect with Species diversity.

Her Introduced species study combines topics in areas such as Environmental resource management and Invasive species. Sandrine Godefroid has included themes like Pioneer species and Deciduous in her Flora study. In her research, Soil classification is intimately related to Soil compaction, which falls under the overarching field of Vegetation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (60.83%)
  • Flora (24.17%)
  • Agroforestry (19.17%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Germination (18.33%)
  • Agronomy (10.83%)
  • Endangered species (13.33%)

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

Sandrine Godefroid spends much of her time researching Germination, Agronomy, Endangered species, Agroforestry and Ex situ conservation. Her research investigates the connection with Germination and areas like Plant traits which intersect with concerns in Plant species. Her research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Restoration ecology, Deserts and xeric shrublands, Calcareous and Genetic erosion.

Her biological study deals with issues like Genetic diversity, which deal with fields such as Extinct in the wild and Habitat. Her research investigates the link between Extinct in the wild and topics such as Biodiversity that cross with problems in Herbarium. Her work in Ex situ conservation addresses subjects such as Botany, which are connected to disciplines such as Eutrophication.

Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Ex situ collections and their potential for the restoration of extinct plants. (23 citations)
  • Ex situ collections and their potential for the restoration of extinct plants. (23 citations)
  • Alien plant species do have a clear preference for different land uses within urban environments (14 citations)
