Agronomy, Pinus radiata, Agroforestry, Soil organic matter and Ecology are his primary areas of study.
Agustín Merino combines subjects such as Soil water, Soil fertility, Biomass, Site index and Quercus robur with his study of Agronomy.
His Soil water research incorporates themes from Afforestation, Forage, Pasture and Animal science.
His Pinus radiata research incorporates elements of Nutrient, Forestry, Pinus pinaster and Temperate climate.
Agustín Merino interconnects Carbon sequestration, Soil pH and Eucalyptus globulus in the investigation of issues within Agroforestry.
As a part of the same scientific family, Agustín Merino mostly works in the field of Soil organic matter, focusing on Soil management and, on occasion, Soil structure.
His most cited work include:
- Responses of soil organic matter and greenhouse gas fluxes to soil management and land use changes in a humid temperate region of southern Europe (153 citations)
- Temporal variations and distribution of carbon stocks in aboveground biomass of radiata pine and maritime pine pure stands under different silvicultural alternatives (119 citations)
- Nutrient exports under different harvesting regimes in fast-growing forest plantations in southern Europe (111 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Agustín Merino focuses on Soil water, Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Organic matter and Environmental chemistry.
His work in Soil water tackles topics such as Pinus radiata which are related to areas like Afforestation and Silviculture.
His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology, Nutrient and Humus.
His research on Soil organic matter also deals with topics like
- Agroforestry that connect with fields like Carbon sequestration and Temperate climate,
- Surface runoff which connect with Mulch.
His research integrates issues of Forest floor, Boreal and Topsoil in his study of Organic matter.
His study in Environmental chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecosystem and Mineralogy.
