The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Poaceae, Phosphorus deficiency, Leaf area index and Root system. His Agronomy research includes elements of Agriculture, Potassium deficiency and Nutrient. Sylvain Pellerin focuses mostly in the field of Poaceae, narrowing it down to topics relating to Zea mays and, in certain cases, Botany and Biomass.

In his study, Biomass, Crop yield, Photosynthetically active radiation, Plant nutrition and Sowing is inextricably linked to Canopy, which falls within the broad field of Phosphorus deficiency. His study looks at the relationship between Leaf area index and fields such as Phyllochron, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Root system connects with themes related to Analytical chemistry in his study.

His most cited work include:

  • Root methods: A handbook (282 citations)
  • Maize root system growth and development as influenced by phosphorus deficiency (212 citations)
  • Growth analysis of maize field crops under phosphorus deficiency. II. Radiation-use efficiency, biomass accumulation and yield components. (151 citations)

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

Sylvain Pellerin mostly deals with Agronomy, Agriculture, Nutrient, Soil water and Root system. Sylvain Pellerin has included themes like Nutrient cycle, Agroforestry and Greenhouse gas in his Agriculture study. His biological study deals with issues like Cycling, which deal with fields such as Cropping.

His research integrates issues of Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Tillage in his study of Soil water. His work on Root system architecture as part of general Root system study is frequently connected to Primordium, Sampling and Computer simulation, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

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

Sylvain Pellerin spends much of his time researching Agriculture, Nutrient, Greenhouse gas, Soil water and Agronomy. His study in the field of Agroecology and Arable land is also linked to topics like Food processing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecosystem and Human fertilization in addition to Nutrient.

Sylvain Pellerin interconnects Biomass, Fertilizer, Climate change and Environmental planning in the investigation of issues within Greenhouse gas. His work on Soil carbon as part of general Soil water study is frequently linked to Bioturbation, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research on Agronomy frequently links to adjacent areas such as Soil phosphorus.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Marginal abatement cost curves for agricultural climate policy: State-of-the art, lessons learnt and future potential (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Sylvain Pellerin focuses on Agriculture, Nutrient, Agronomy, Environmental protection and Food processing. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental economics, Crop yield and Crop. His research in the fields of Soil phosphorus overlaps with other disciplines such as Diffusion.

Sylvain Pellerin combines subjects such as Intensive farming, Vegetation and Cycling with his study of Agronomy. The concepts of his Environmental protection study are interwoven with issues in Organic matter, Soil carbon, Stoichiometry, Sustainable development and Agroecology. His Soil carbon research also works with subjects such as

  • Greenhouse gas which intersects with area such as Soil water, Global warming, Land management and Tillage,
  • Marginal abatement cost and Farm Gate most often made with reference to Climate change.
