Bruno José Rodrigues Alves focuses on Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Nitrogen fixation, Tillage and Crop rotation. His research in Agronomy is mostly focused on Fertilizer. Bruno José Rodrigues Alves has researched Soil organic matter in several fields, including Agroforestry and Soil carbon.

His Nitrogen fixation research includes elements of Enzyme assay, Botany, Crop and Microbial inoculant. Atmospheric sciences, N2o flux and Morning is closely connected to Soil water in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Tillage. His Crop rotation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of No-till farming and Conventional tillage.

His most cited work include:

• The contributions of nitrogen-fixing crop legumes to the productivity of agricultural systems. (402 citations)
• Change in carbon and nitrogen stocks in soil under 13 years of conventional or zero tillage in southern Brazil (361 citations)
• Legumes for mitigation of climate change and the provision of feedstock for biofuels and biorefineries. A review (352 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Nitrogen fixation, Greenhouse gas, Crop and Legume. Agronomy is often connected to Soil organic matter in his work. Bruno José Rodrigues Alves has researched Soil organic matter in several fields, including No-till farming, Soil carbon, Crop rotation and Agroforestry.

His Nitrogen fixation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cultivar, Botany and Microbial inoculant. His studies in Greenhouse gas integrate themes in fields like Nitrous oxide and Agriculture. His research in Brachiaria focuses on subjects like Pasture, which are connected to Litter.

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

Bruno José Rodrigues Alves mostly deals with Agronomy, Greenhouse gas, Animal science, Grazing and Soil water. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Denitrification, Nitrogen fixation and Vegetation. The concepts of his Greenhouse gas study are interwoven with issues in Life-cycle assessment, Efficient energy use, Environmental engineering and Renewable energy.

His study on Animal science also encompasses disciplines like

• Human fertilization which connect with Conventional tillage, Ammonium sulfate, Nutrient and Cane,
• Nitrous oxide that connect with fields like Plant residue, Straw, Hectare and Grassland. His Grazing research focuses on Forage and how it relates to Beef cattle, Legume and Completely randomized design. His work on Soil temperature is typically connected to Near-infrared spectroscopy and Tierra as part of general Soil water study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Impact of plant growth-promoting bacteria on grain yield, protein content, and urea-15 N recovery by maize in a Cerrado Oxisol (27 citations)
• Changes in soil carbon stocks after land-use change from native vegetation to pastures in the Atlantic forest region of Brazil (9 citations)
• Short-term effect of Eucalyptus plantations on soil microbial communities and soil-atmosphere methane and nitrous oxide exchange (9 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Agriculture
• Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Soil water, Greenhouse gas, Microbial inoculant and Nitrogen fixation. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Rhizobacteria and Vegetation. His work in the fields of Soil water, such as Soil classification and Soil carbon, overlaps with other areas such as Spectroscopy and Near-infrared spectroscopy.

Bruno José Rodrigues Alves interconnects Microorganism, Denitrification, Diazotroph and Nitrate in the investigation of issues within Microbial inoculant. Bruno José Rodrigues Alves combines subjects such as Acrisol, Crotalaria juncea, Green manure, Organic farming and Mucuna pruriens with his study of Nitrogen fixation. His studies deal with areas such as Soil organic matter, Transect and Bulk density as well as Brachiaria.
