About

Evgenios Agathokleous is a leading researcher in the intersection of global change biology, air pollution ecology, and sustainable crop production. His work primarily investigates how plants and agricultural systems respond to environmental stressors, including elevated ozone, climate change, and nitrogen deposition. Agathokleous is best known for advancing the concept of hormesis in plants—a dose-response phenomenon where low levels of stress can be beneficial—and for applying this framework to improve crop resilience. His highly cited 2023 paper, "Adapting crop production to climate change and air pollution at different scales," synthesizes strategies for mitigating the combined effects of climate change and air pollution on food security, earning 48 citations and influencing policy-oriented research. With over 100 publications and a citation count exceeding 3,000, his work has shaped understanding of how plants navigate environmental challenges. Agathokleous also serves as an editor for several high-impact journals, and his research has been recognized with early-career awards. His contributions are vital for developing adaptive agricultural practices in a rapidly changing world.
