Bernard Vanlauwe

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Soil fertility, Agronomy, Soil management, Agroforestry and Agriculture. His research in Soil fertility intersects with topics in Organic matter, Soil quality, Sowing, Soil organic matter and Manure. His research integrates issues of Soil water and Nutrient in his study of Agronomy.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agroecosystem, Resource, Reforestation, Agricultural science and Green manure. His Agroforestry research incorporates elements of Cropping, Niche, Biodiversity and Soil retrogression and degradation. The various areas that Bernard Vanlauwe examines in his Agriculture study include Productivity, Natural resource economics and Sustainability.

His most cited work include:

• Digital Soil Map of the World (414 citations)
• Integrated soil fertility management: Operational definition and consequences for implementation and dissemination (374 citations)
• Soil organic carbon dynamics, functions and management in West African agro-ecosystems (316 citations)

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

Bernard Vanlauwe spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Soil fertility, Agroforestry, Agriculture and Soil management. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Soil water and Nutrient. His study looks at the relationship between Soil fertility and topics such as Soil organic matter, which overlap with Organic matter and Soil carbon.

His Agroforestry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cropping, No-till farming, Nutrient management and Crop production. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agricultural economics, Crop, Agricultural science, Natural resource economics and Productivity in addition to Agriculture. While the research belongs to areas of Soil management, Bernard Vanlauwe spends his time largely on the problem of Intercropping, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Legume and Cropping system.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (53.32%)
• Soil fertility (37.67%)
• Agroforestry (28.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

• Agriculture (23.87%)
• Agronomy (53.32%)
• Soil fertility (37.67%)

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

Bernard Vanlauwe mainly investigates Agriculture, Agronomy, Soil fertility, Fertilizer and Agroforestry. His Agriculture research includes themes of Productivity, Crop, Agricultural economics and Agricultural science. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Nitrogen fixation and Nutrient.

His Soil fertility course of study focuses on Soil management and Environmental resource management. His work deals with themes such as Carbon sequestration, Crop residue and Greenhouse gas, which intersect with Agroforestry. His Crop yield research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil organic matter, Sustainable agriculture, Soil texture and Cultivar.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Innovative technologies to manage aflatoxins in foods and feeds and the profitability of application - A review. (114 citations)
• Sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in the Central African Highlands: The need for institutional innovation (65 citations)
• Phosphorus in smallholder farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa: implications for agricultural intensification (65 citations)

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

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Agronomy

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agriculture, Agronomy, Soil fertility, Crop yield and Productivity. His Agriculture research incorporates themes from Agroforestry, Natural resource economics and Agricultural economics. His Agroforestry study incorporates themes from Resource and Agricultural science.

A large part of his Agronomy studies is devoted to Legume. As part of his studies on Soil fertility, Bernard Vanlauwe frequently links adjacent subjects like Yield. His Crop yield study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fertilizer and Cultivar.
