  • 2023 - Research.com Plant Science and Agronomy in Brazil Leader Award
  • 2022 - Research.com Plant Science and Agronomy in Brazil Leader Award

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Soil water, Agronomy, Pasture, Soil organic matter and Ecology. Carlos Clemente Cerri interconnects Hydrology, Dry season and Total organic carbon in the investigation of issues within Soil water. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Organic matter, Soil carbon, Soil type, Soil fertility and Chronosequence.

His Soil carbon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Carbon sequestration, Agroforestry, Forestry and Bulk density. His Soil organic matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Humus, Isotopes of carbon, Soil management, No-till farming and Tillage. His Ecology research includes themes of Nitrification and Nitrogen cycle.

His most cited work include:

  • Wavelet analysis of MODIS time series to detect expansion and intensification of row-crop agriculture in Brazil (300 citations)
  • Soil properties under Amazon forest and changes due to pasture installation in Rondônia, Brazil (277 citations)
  • Soil carbon and nitrogen stocks following forest clearing for pasture in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon (237 citations)

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

Carlos Clemente Cerri mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Pasture and Soil carbon. Carlos Clemente Cerri combines subjects such as Soil classification, Organic matter, Soil fertility and Greenhouse gas with his study of Agronomy. His Soil water course of study focuses on Hydrology and Dry season.

His study on Soil organic matter also encompasses disciplines like

  • Agroforestry that intertwine with fields like Land use,
  • No-till farming which connect with Soil management. His research investigates the connection with Pasture and areas like Amazon rainforest which intersect with concerns in Deforestation and Physical geography. His Soil carbon research focuses on Carbon sequestration and how it relates to Carbon cycle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (42.11%)
  • Soil water (31.95%)
  • Soil organic matter (27.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Agronomy (42.11%)
  • Straw (6.39%)
  • Bioenergy (8.27%)

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

Agronomy, Straw, Bioenergy, Soil organic matter and Soil quality are his primary areas of study. The various areas that he examines in his Agronomy study include Soil structure, Soil carbon, Soil water and Soil fertility. His Soil carbon research integrates issues from Carbon sequestration, Organic matter and Land use, land-use change and forestry.

His Soil organic matter research is within the category of Ecology. His Soil quality study also includes fields such as

  • Ultisol that intertwine with fields like Oxisol,

  • Nutrient, which have a strong connection to Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Canopy. His Pasture research also works with subjects such as

  • Vegetation and related Soil horizon,

  • Land use which is related to area like Agriculture and Abundance.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Crop residue harvest for bioenergy production and its implications on soil functioning and plant growth: A review (79 citations)
  • Low-carbon agriculture in South America to mitigate global climate change and advance food security. (78 citations)
  • Soil physical quality response to sugarcane expansion in Brazil (65 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil fertility, Soil quality, Soil organic matter and Soil water. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Raw material and Bioenergy. His study looks at the relationship between Soil fertility and topics such as Soil retrogression and degradation, which overlap with Histosol, Deforestation and Agroforestry.

Carlos Clemente Cerri has included themes like No-till farming and Soil carbon in his Soil organic matter study. His study in Soil water is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pasture and Vegetation. As a member of one scientific family, Carlos Clemente Cerri mostly works in the field of Vegetation, focusing on Soil management and, on occasion, Land use.
