Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Organic farming, Soil water and Botany. Agronomy is closely attributed to Soil management in his research. A.H.C. van Bruggen works mostly in the field of Rhizosphere, limiting it down to topics relating to Total organic carbon and, in certain cases, Cover crop, Organic matter, Bacterial growth and Microbial population biology.

His Organic farming study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil fertility, Integrated pest management, Soil test and Intensive farming. A.H.C. van Bruggen studied Soil water and Ecosystem that intersect with Natural resource, Climate change and Environmental resource management. A.H.C. van Bruggen interconnects Microorganism, Microbial ecology and Horticulture in the investigation of issues within Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Fundamental Differences Between Conventional and Organic Tomato Agroecosystems in California (407 citations)
  • In search of biological indicators for soil health and disease suppression (405 citations)
  • Environmental and health effects of the herbicide glyphosate. (236 citations)

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

Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Soil water and Ecology are his primary areas of study. He combines subjects such as Inoculation, Phycomycetes and Rhizosphere with his study of Botany. His Rhizosphere study combines topics in areas such as Microorganism, Total organic carbon, Nutrient and Biological pest control.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil organic matter, Soil management and Organic farming. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Solanaceae and Spore. His Soil water research focuses on subjects like Pseudomonas fluorescens, which are linked to Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (42.21%)
  • Agronomy (27.92%)
  • Horticulture (25.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Botany (42.21%)
  • Horticulture (25.97%)
  • Agroforestry (6.49%)

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

A.H.C. van Bruggen mostly deals with Botany, Horticulture, Agroforestry, Veterinary medicine and Sphingobium. His work in Botany is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Swamp. His study in Horticulture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lauraceae and Windbreak.

His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Disease progress and Organic farming. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Organic farming, Soil health and Soil microbiology is strongly linked to Weed control. His Soil health research integrates issues from Sustainability and Agronomy.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Environmental and health effects of the herbicide glyphosate. (236 citations)
  • Plant Diseases and Management Approaches in Organic Farming Systems (53 citations)
  • OCCURRENCE AND IN-GROVE DISTRIBUTION OF CITRUS HUANGLONGBING IN NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

A.H.C. van Bruggen focuses on Botany, Horticulture, Soil microbiology, North central and Orange. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Global warming and Climate change. A.H.C. van Bruggen has researched Horticulture in several fields, including Swamp and Diurnal temperature variation.

His research integrates issues of Glyphosate, Antibiotic resistance and Animal feed in his study of Soil microbiology. His North central investigation overlaps with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus and Windbreak.
