Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Astrid Oberson mainly investigates Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Agronomy, Mineralization and Soil fertility. Her Soil water study incorporates themes from Nutrient, Crop rotation, Phosphate and Organic farming. Her study looks at the relationship between Nutrient and topics such as Fertilizer, which overlap with Field experiment, Extraction, Tropical soils, Nuclear chemistry and Ion-exchange resin.

Her research in Crop rotation intersects with topics in Soil classification, Soil contamination, Environmental engineering and Biogeochemical cycle. Her studies in Environmental chemistry integrate themes in fields like Mineralogy, Soil respiration, Incubation and Cycling. Astrid Oberson has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Agriculture, Agricultural productivity and Rhizosphere.

Her most cited work include:

  • Plant and microbial strategies to improve the phosphorus efficiency of agriculture (476 citations)
  • Processes governing phosphorus availability in temperate soils (403 citations)
  • Phosphorus Transformations in an Oxisol under contrasting land-use systems: The role of the soil microbial biomass (236 citations)

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

Astrid Oberson focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Fertilizer and Manure. Her Agronomy research incorporates themes from Organic farming, Nutrient, Soil fertility and Topsoil. In Soil water, Astrid Oberson works on issues like Cycling, which are connected to Soil phosphorus.

Her Environmental chemistry research integrates issues from Sludge, Soil biology, Tropical soils, Soil organic matter and Incubation. The concepts of her Fertilizer study are interwoven with issues in Lolium multiflorum, Extraction, Nuclear chemistry, Soil pH and Mineralogy. Her Manure research focuses on Cropping system and how it relates to Field experiment and Crop rotation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (54.78%)
  • Soil water (33.12%)
  • Environmental chemistry (23.57%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (54.78%)
  • Environmental chemistry (23.57%)
  • Soil quality (7.01%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Environmental chemistry, Soil quality, Microorganism and Cropping. The study incorporates disciplines such as Residual nitrogen, Nitrogen fixation and Soil fertility in addition to Agronomy. The various areas that Astrid Oberson examines in her Environmental chemistry study include Isotopes of oxygen and Lixisol.

Her research integrates issues of Fertilizer, Organic fertilizer, Manure and Soil horizon in her study of Soil quality. Her study looks at the intersection of Cropping and topics like Field experiment with Topsoil. Astrid Oberson works mostly in the field of Crop rotation, limiting it down to topics relating to Human fertilization and, in certain cases, Soil water.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Residual phosphorus availability after long-term soil application of organic waste (15 citations)
  • Estimates of mean residence times of phosphorus in commonly considered inorganic soil phosphorus pools (12 citations)
  • Influence of long-term phosphorus fertilisation history on the availability and chemical nature of soil phosphorus (12 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

Astrid Oberson spends much of her time researching Animal science, Microorganism, Topsoil, Crop and Cycling. Her Microorganism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Calcareous, Rhizosphere, Gluconic acid and Microbial inoculant. Her Topsoil research includes themes of Sludge, Field trial, Biodegradable waste and Soil horizon.

Astrid Oberson combines subjects such as Loam and Organic fertilizer with her study of Crop. Her study explores the link between Cycling and topics such as Environmental chemistry that cross with problems in Soil water. Her Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Abiotic component, Grassland, Incubation and Respiration.
