Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Antonio Roldán mainly focuses on Agronomy, Botany, Rhizosphere, Soil water and Mycorrhiza. His work deals with themes such as Soil quality, No-till farming, Soil fertility, Soil organic matter and Nutrient, which intersect with Agronomy. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Rhizobacteria and Microbial inoculant.

His studies deal with areas such as Halophyte, Inoculation, Limonium, Salt marsh and Revegetation as well as Rhizosphere. His research investigates the connection between Soil water and topics such as Organic matter that intersect with issues in Soil respiration and Mediterranean climate. His Mycorrhiza study incorporates themes from Shrub, Olea and Soil structure.

His most cited work include:

  • Induction of antioxidant enzymes is involved in the greater effectiveness of a PGPR versus AM fungi with respect to increasing the tolerance of lettuce to severe salt stress (239 citations)
  • Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi modify alleviation biochemical mechanisms in water-stressed plants (200 citations)
  • Soil microbial biomass and activity under different agricultural management systems in a semiarid Mediterranean agroecosystem (173 citations)

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

Antonio Roldán mostly deals with Agronomy, Botany, Rhizosphere, Mycorrhiza and Soil water. His work on Sowing as part of general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Amendment, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Antonio Roldán has included themes like Inoculation and Horticulture in his Botany study.

In his work, Microorganism is strongly intertwined with Microbial inoculant, which is a subfield of Rhizosphere. His research in Mycorrhiza intersects with topics in Lactuca, Compost and Olea. His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Irrigation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (50.00%)
  • Botany (43.96%)
  • Rhizosphere (27.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Agronomy (50.00%)
  • Botany (43.96%)
  • Rhizosphere (27.47%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Botany, Rhizosphere, Ecology and Microbial inoculant. His work on Shoot as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Amendment, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Anthyllis cytisoides, Nutrient and Compost.

His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Bacillus thuringiensis and Species richness. He combines subjects such as Crop rotation, Soil health, Soil microbiology and Microbial population biology with his study of Rhizosphere. His research on Microbial inoculant also deals with topics like

  • Rhizobacteria that connect with fields like Azospirillum brasilense,
  • Bacillus megaterium which intersects with area such as Hydric soil.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and/or bacteria to enhancing plant drought tolerance under natural soil conditions: Effectiveness of autochthonous or allochthonous strains (125 citations)
  • Differential activity of autochthonous bacteria in controlling drought stress in native Lavandula and Salvia plants species under drought conditions in natural arid soil. (78 citations)
  • Microbial inoculants and organic amendment improves plant establishment and soil rehabilitation under semiarid conditions. (51 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Shoot, Rhizosphere, Botany and Drought tolerance. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Agroecosystem and Microbial inoculant. His Shoot study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Inoculation and Nutrient.

His Rhizosphere research includes themes of Ecology, Intercropping, Soil health, Crop rotation and Soil microbiology. Many of his studies on Botany involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Community structure. The various areas that Antonio Roldán examines in his Drought tolerance study include Microorganism and Stomatal conductance.
