• Long-term effects of no-tillage on dynamic soil physical properties in a Rhodic Ferrasol in Paraná, Brazil (99 citations)

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

• Soil water
• Composite material
• Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Soil water, Soil science, Porosity, Bulk density and Water content. His study in Pedotransfer function and Hydraulic conductivity is carried out as part of his studies in Soil water. His work carried out in the field of Soil science brings together such families of science as Organic matter and Tillage.

His work deals with themes such as Soil type, Oxisol and Soil compaction, which intersect with Tillage. His Porosity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Compressive strength, Water retention, Resilience and Compaction. His work on Water retention curve is typically connected to Proline as part of general Water content study, connecting several disciplines of science.
