Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Fertilizer
  • Carbon dioxide

Antonio Vallejo mostly deals with Irrigation, Urea, Nitrous oxide, Nitrification and Urease. His Irrigation research includes elements of Cover crop and Leaching. His study focuses on the intersection of Leaching and fields such as Fertilizer with connections in the field of Alkali soil.

Antonio Vallejo has researched Nitrous oxide in several fields, including Denitrification, Grassland and Arable land. His research investigates the connection between Nitrification and topics such as Slurry that intersect with problems in Loam, Compost and Denitrification process. The concepts of his Urease study are interwoven with issues in Ammonia and Ammonia volatilization from urea.

His most cited work include:

  • Meta-analysis of the effect of urease and nitrification inhibitors on crop productivity and nitrogen use efficiency (254 citations)
  • The potential of organic fertilizers and water management to reduce N2O emissions in Mediterranean climate cropping systems. A review (202 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of strategies to control nitrate leaching in irrigated agricultural systems and their effects on crop yield. (149 citations)

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

Soil water, Fertilizer, Denitrification, Nitrous oxide and Nitrification are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Soil water brings together such families of science as Organic matter, Carbon dioxide and Water content. The Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Leaching, Crop, Irrigation, Crop yield and Nutrient.

His Denitrification research incorporates elements of Environmental chemistry and Loam. His work in Nitrification tackles topics such as Urea which are related to areas like Mineralogy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ammonia and Ammonia volatilization from urea in addition to Urease.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (31.68%)
  • Fertilizer (30.69%)
  • Denitrification (25.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Nitrous oxide (25.74%)
  • Nitrification (22.77%)
  • Fertilizer (30.69%)

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

Antonio Vallejo mainly focuses on Nitrous oxide, Nitrification, Fertilizer, Urease and Environmental chemistry. His work is dedicated to discovering how Nitrous oxide, Calcium ammonium nitrate are connected with Crop and Bioenergy and other disciplines. His research in Nitrification tackles topics such as Nutrient cycle which are related to areas like Soil water, Soil horizon, Cropping system and Soil type.

Antonio Vallejo combines subjects such as Denitrification, Soil carbon and Nutrient with his study of Fertilizer. His Urease research is classified as research in Urea. His work in Manure covers topics such as Greenhouse gas which are related to areas like Soil management, Cover crop, Hordeum vulgare and Irrigation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The effect of nitrification inhibitors on NH3 and N2O emissions in highly N fertilized irrigated Mediterranean cropping systems. (36 citations)
  • Determining the influence of environmental and edaphic factors on the fate of the nitrification inhibitors DCD and DMPP in soil. (24 citations)
  • Urea-based fertilization strategies to reduce yield-scaled N oxides and enhance bread-making quality in a rainfed Mediterranean wheat crop (22 citations)
