Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Phytoremediation, Soil water, Environmental remediation, Soil health and Soil quality. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phytotoxicity, Waste management, Soil contamination and Bioremediation in addition to Phytoremediation. The Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Contamination, Agronomy and Microbial population biology.

His Environmental remediation research focuses on Environmental engineering and how it relates to Environmental resource management and Ecosystem. His research integrates issues of Soil biology, Soil test and Soil enzyme in his study of Soil health. His Soil quality study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry and Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Phytoextraction: a cost-effective plant-based technology for the removal of metals from the environment. (680 citations)
  • Recent Findings on the Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated with Environmentally Toxic Heavy Metals and Metalloids Such as Zinc, Cadmium, Lead, and Arsenic (373 citations)
  • Industrial applications of pectic enzymes: a review (340 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Soil water, Agronomy, Phytoremediation, Soil health and Soil quality. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry, Biomass, Ecosystem and Microbial population biology. His Manure study in the realm of Agronomy connects with subjects such as Amendment.

The various areas that Carlos Garbisu examines in his Phytoremediation study include Botany, Soil contamination, Bioremediation and Environmental remediation. Carlos Garbisu has researched Bioremediation in several fields, including Microorganism and Pollutant. His work deals with themes such as Waste management, Polluted soils, Phytoextraction process and Environmental engineering, which intersect with Environmental remediation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (32.95%)
  • Agronomy (30.06%)
  • Phytoremediation (26.01%)

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

  • Soil water (32.95%)
  • Agronomy (30.06%)
  • Soil health (24.86%)

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

Carlos Garbisu mainly investigates Soil water, Agronomy, Soil health, Soil quality and Environmental remediation. His Soil water research incorporates elements of Environmental chemistry and Sludge. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil pH and Environmental protection.

His research integrates issues of Biomass, Nutrient, Ecotoxicity and Ecosystem services in his study of Soil quality. His work carried out in the field of Environmental remediation brings together such families of science as Waste management, Soil contamination, Environmental engineering, Soil conditioner and Phytoremediation. His Phytoremediation research incorporates elements of Bioremediation and Bioaugmentation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • From phytoremediation of soil contaminants to phytomanagement of ecosystem services in metal contaminated sites. (69 citations)
  • Application of sewage sludge to agricultural soil increases the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes without altering the composition of prokaryotic communities. (51 citations)
  • Brassica napus has a key role in the recovery of the health of soils contaminated with metals and diesel by rhizoremediation. (39 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Carlos Garbisu mainly focuses on Organic matter, Agronomy, Soil quality, Soil water and Soil health. His study on Organic matter also encompasses disciplines like

  • Environmental chemistry and related Zerovalent iron, Nanoremediation, Environmental remediation, Denitrification and Nitrogen cycle,
  • Biomass which is related to area like Organic farming, Cow dung and Vermicompost,
  • Compost, which have a strong connection to Crop rotation, Soil functions, Soil contamination and Pollutant. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil structure, Soil carbon and Phytoremediation.

The concepts of his Phytoremediation study are interwoven with issues in Calcareous, Bioremediation and Diesel fuel. When carried out as part of a general Soil water research project, his work on Soil test and Soil pH is frequently linked to work in Amendment, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His studies deal with areas such as Ecotoxicity and Environmental protection as well as Soil health.
