Overview

Chi-hua Huang is affiliated with Purdue University West Lafayette in the United States. Their research focuses primarily on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, with a significant emphasis on soil science, ecology, earth-surface processes, environmental chemistry, and water science and technology.

Their work extensively covers topics related to soil erosion and sediment transport, hydrology and sediment transport processes, aeolian processes and effects, hydrology and watershed management studies, phosphorus and nutrient management, soil and water nutrient dynamics, as well as aquatic ecosystems and phytoplankton dynamics.

Recent publications by Huang include:

  • Effects of root morphological traits on soil detachment for ten herbaceous species in the Loess Plateau, 2020, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Grain yield and greenhouse gas emissions from maize and wheat fields under plastic film and straw mulching: A meta-analysis, 2021, Field Crops Research
  • An updated isoerodent map of the conterminous United States, 2021, International Soil and Water Conservation Research
  • Deposition- and transport-dominated erosion regime effects on the loss of dissolved and sediment-bound organic carbon: Evaluation in a cultivated soil with laboratory rainfall simulations, 2020, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Using Steel Slag for Dissolved Phosphorus Removal: Insights from a Designed Flow-Through Laboratory Experimental Structure, 2020, Water

Huang frequently publishes in venues such as Soil Erosion Research Under a Changing Climate, Water, The Science of The Total Environment, International Soil and Water Conservation Research, and the Journal of Soil and Water Conservation.

Collaborations with other researchers appear with regularity; frequent coauthors include Dennis C. Flanagan, Mark A. Weltz, Ryan P. McGehee, Puneet Srivastava, and Bernard A. Engel.
