Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Soil water, Organic matter, Humus, Environmental chemistry and Humic acid. His Soil test study in the realm of Soil water connects with subjects such as Amendment. His Organic matter study incorporates themes from Soil contamination and Compost.

His Humus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sludge and Pomace. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil organic matter and Soil management. The Humic acid study combines topics in areas such as Mineralogy, Eisenia andrei and Nuclear chemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Long-term effects of municipal solid waste compost application on soil enzyme activities and microbial biomass (465 citations)
  • A comparative survey of recent results on humic-like fractions in organic amendments and effects on native soil humic substances (145 citations)
  • Microbial activity in pig slurry-amended soils under semiarid conditions (139 citations)

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

Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Soil organic matter, Organic matter and Amendment are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Sludge, Agronomy, Compost, Humic acid and Biochar, which intersect with Soil water. His work investigates the relationship between Agronomy and topics such as Soil quality that intersect with problems in Soil respiration.

In his study, Manure and Ombrotrophic is strongly linked to Humus, which falls under the umbrella field of Environmental chemistry. His Soil organic matter research integrates issues from Fractionation, Ecosystem, Agroforestry and Land use. His Organic matter study frequently links to related topics such as Soil contamination.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (59.72%)
  • Environmental chemistry (42.36%)
  • Soil organic matter (44.44%)

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

  • Soil water (59.72%)
  • Soil organic matter (44.44%)
  • Environmental chemistry (42.36%)

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

His primary areas of study are Soil water, Soil organic matter, Environmental chemistry, Atmospheric sciences and Ecosystem. His research in Soil water is mostly concerned with Soil pH. His Soil organic matter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Botany and Particle size.

His studies deal with areas such as Organic matter, Mineral, Biochar, Fractionation and Catalysis as well as Environmental chemistry. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vegetation, Nutrient and Agronomy. The various areas that César Plaza examines in his Permafrost study include Arctic, Global warming, Greenhouse gas, Carbon and Soil horizon.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Direct observation of permafrost degradation and rapid soil carbon loss in tundra (48 citations)
  • Direct observation of permafrost degradation and rapid soil carbon loss in tundra (48 citations)
  • Direct observation of permafrost degradation and rapid soil carbon loss in tundra (48 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

César Plaza mainly focuses on Soil water, Ecosystem, Atmospheric sciences, Tundra and Permafrost. César Plaza is involved in the study of Soil water that focuses on Soil organic matter in particular. His Soil organic matter research incorporates themes from Agronomy, Climate change, Soil pH, Micronutrient and Arid.

He regularly links together related areas like Range in his Ecosystem studies. You can notice a mix of various disciplines of study, such as Soil microbiology, Soil chemistry, Heterotroph, Respiration and Soil test, in his Atmospheric sciences studies. His Tundra research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Global warming, Soil carbon, Greenhouse gas and Soil horizon.
