Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Optics
  • Ecosystem

Xavier Le Roux mainly focuses on Ecosystem, Ecology, Biodiversity, Botany and Agronomy. His Ecosystem study deals with Nitrogen cycle intersecting with Grassland. His Ecology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Complementarity.

His work deals with themes such as Microbial population biology, Species richness, Species diversity and Ecosystem services, which intersect with Biodiversity. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plant community, Soil water and Nitrification. Xavier Le Roux has researched Herbivore in several fields, including Disturbance, Plant cover, Vegetation, Biome and Arid.

His most cited work include:

  • Determinants of woody cover in African savannas (1322 citations)
  • Unraveling the Effects of Plant Hydraulics on Stomatal Closure during Water Stress in Walnut (298 citations)
  • Decline of soil microbial diversity does not influence the resistance and resilience of key soil microbial functional groups following a model disturbance. (235 citations)

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

Xavier Le Roux mostly deals with Optoelectronics, Optics, Photonics, Silicon and Silicon photonics. His Optoelectronics study incorporates themes from Quantum well and Carbon nanotube. His study in Photonic crystal, Slow light, Bandwidth, Extinction ratio and Photonic integrated circuit falls under the purview of Optics.

His Photonic crystal research integrates issues from Dispersion and Nonlinear optics. Xavier Le Roux interconnects Semiconductor, Light emission and Pockels effect in the investigation of issues within Silicon. His Silicon photonics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Waveguide and Resonator.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Optoelectronics (41.09%)
  • Optics (22.87%)
  • Photonics (20.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Optoelectronics (41.09%)
  • Photonics (20.54%)
  • Silicon photonics (17.44%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Optoelectronics, Photonics, Silicon photonics, Silicon and Agronomy. His work focuses on many connections between Photonics and other disciplines, such as Wavelength, that overlap with his field of interest in Optical modulator. The Silicon photonics study combines topics in areas such as Narrowband, Beam splitter, Nonlinear optics, Germanium and Silicon on insulator.

His work deals with themes such as Phonon, Optics and Pockels effect, which intersect with Silicon. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Inoculation, Nitrification and Denitrifying bacteria. His Nitrification research includes elements of Ecosystem and Nitrogen cycle.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning in a 15-year grassland experiment: Patterns, mechanisms, and open questions (142 citations)
  • Designing mixtures of varieties for multifunctional agriculture with the help of ecology. A review (80 citations)
  • A 2018 Horizon Scan of Emerging Issues for Global Conservation and Biological Diversity. (75 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Optics
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Nitrification, Agronomy and Ecology. Xavier Le Roux regularly ties together related areas like Nutrient in his Ecosystem studies. His Biodiversity research includes themes of Species richness, Environmental planning and Ecosystem services.

His work carried out in the field of Nitrification brings together such families of science as Denitrification and Soil water. The concepts of his Soil water study are interwoven with issues in Nitrobacter, Botany and Nitrospira. His study on Human fertilization is often connected to Ecological niche as part of broader study in Agronomy.
