Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Transpiration, Hydrology, Evapotranspiration, Botany and Ecology. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water and Evaporation. His study looks at the intersection of Soil water and topics like Hydrology with Atmospheric sciences.

His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Noon and Irrigation. His Irrigation study incorporates themes from Canopy, Leaf area index and Horticulture, Orchard. His Ecology research includes elements of Sensible heat, Instrumentation and Broiler, Agronomy.

His most cited work include:

  • Global dimming: a review of the evidence for a widespread and significant reduction in global radiation with discussion of its probable causes and possible agricultural consequences (715 citations)
  • Use of thermal and visible imagery for estimating crop water status of irrigated grapevine (289 citations)
  • Canopy structure measurement by gap fraction analysis using commercial instrumentation (224 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Transpiration, Horticulture, Hydrology and Irrigation. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nutrient and Pepper. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Canopy, Greenhouse and Evapotranspiration.

The various areas that Shabtai Cohen examines in his Canopy study include Atmospheric sciences and Stomatal conductance. His study in the field of Orchard, Rootstock and Yield also crosses realms of Shading. His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Wind speed, Soil water, Evaporation and Canopy conductance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (24.00%)
  • Transpiration (22.67%)
  • Horticulture (22.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Horticulture (22.00%)
  • Irrigation (18.67%)
  • Wastewater (4.00%)

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

Shabtai Cohen mainly focuses on Horticulture, Irrigation, Wastewater, Evapotranspiration and Arid. His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Water quality and Salinity. His Wastewater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil water, Flow and Orchard.

He combines subjects such as Greenhouse, Atmospheric sciences, Artificial intelligence, Microclimate and Pepper with his study of Evapotranspiration. His study in Greenhouse is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Canopy, Water-use efficiency and Transpiration. His Arid research includes themes of Mediterranean climate, Physical geography, Agronomy and Stork.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Urban outdoor thermal perception in hot arid Beer Sheva, Israel: Methodological and gender aspects (18 citations)
  • Treated wastewater irrigation: Soil variables and grapefruit tree performance (14 citations)
  • Tree growth and water-use in hyper-arid Acacia occurs during the hottest and driest season. (10 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Soil water, Arid, Water quality and Salinity. His work in Horticulture addresses issues such as Wastewater, which are connected to fields such as Bulk soil, Irrigation, Soil retrogression and degradation and Soil structure. Shabtai Cohen interconnects Agronomy, Vapour Pressure Deficit, Precipitation, Dry season and Acacia in the investigation of issues within Soil water.

His Arid study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Physical geography and Temperate climate. He has researched Water quality in several fields, including Photosynthesis, DNS root zone, Aeration and Rootstock. His studies deal with areas such as Xylem and Respiration as well as Orchard.
