Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Eucalyptus, Eddy covariance, Canopy, Ecology and Ecosystem respiration are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Afforestation, Acacia mangium and Agronomy, Human fertilization in addition to Eucalyptus. His studies deal with areas such as Specific leaf area and Plant litter as well as Agronomy.

His Eddy covariance study combines topics in areas such as Primary production, Vegetation, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Tropical vegetation and Water cycle. His research integrates issues of Silviculture, Agroforestry and Nutrient cycle, Ecosystem in his study of Canopy. His Ecology research includes themes of Canopy conductance and Spatial variability.

His most cited work include:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Drought controls over conductance and assimilation of a Mediterranean evergreen ecosystem: scaling from leaf to canopy (177 citations)
  • The land-atmosphere water flux in the tropics (159 citations)

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

Yann Nouvellon spends much of his time researching Eucalyptus, Agronomy, Soil water, Canopy and Remote sensing. His Eucalyptus research is classified as research in Botany. His work deals with themes such as Ecology, Nutrient, Woody plant, Soil fertility and Soil respiration, which intersect with Agronomy.

His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Afforestation and Water content. His Canopy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Canopy conductance, Leaf area index, Photosynthetically active radiation and Transpiration. His work is dedicated to discovering how Remote sensing, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index are connected with Water cycle and other disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Eucalyptus (46.91%)
  • Agronomy (40.74%)
  • Soil water (28.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Agronomy (40.74%)
  • Soil horizon (19.75%)
  • Soil water (28.40%)

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

Yann Nouvellon mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil horizon, Soil water, Forest ecology and Eucalyptus. A large part of his Agronomy studies is devoted to Biomass. His Soil horizon study also includes fields such as

  • Coppicing together with Subsoil, Greenhouse gas and Soil depth,
  • Root system which intersects with area such as Weed control, Afforestation and Nutrient.

Yann Nouvellon interconnects Biogeochemical cycle, Temperate climate and Water content in the investigation of issues within Soil water. His studies in Forest ecology integrate themes in fields like Ibis, Biosphere, Global warming and Plant functional type. He has included themes like Field experiment, Monoculture, Acacia mangium, Sowing and Carbon cycle in his Eucalyptus study.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Tamm Review: Influence of forest management activities on soil organic carbon stocks: A knowledge synthesis (35 citations)
  • Nitrogen fixation rate of Acacia mangium Wild at mid rotation in Brazil is higher in mixed plantations with Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden than in monocultures (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Representativeness heuristic, Stocking, Nitrogen fixation and Eucalyptus. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Forest floor, Soil water, Topsoil, Forest ecology and Terrestrial ecosystem. His Representativeness heuristic study incorporates themes from Data integration, Functional ecology, Ecosystem model and Identification.

His Ecosystem model research incorporates elements of Biodiversity, Ecology and Database. The various areas that Yann Nouvellon examines in his Stocking study include Field experiment, Monoculture, Acacia mangium, Sowing and Acacia.
