Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Erosion
  • Ecosystem

Cristiano Ballabio mostly deals with Soil science, Topsoil, Soil water, Hydrology and Soil carbon. His study looks at the intersection of Soil science and topics like Land cover with Soil map and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. His Topsoil research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sampling and Soil test.

His Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Land use and Water resource management. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Primary production, Total organic carbon, Soil contamination and Digital soil mapping. His research integrates issues of Arable land, Contour plowing, Edaphology, No-till farming and Cover crop in his study of Universal Soil Loss Equation.

His most cited work include:

  • An assessment of the global impact of 21st century land use change on soil erosion. (445 citations)
  • The new assessment of soil loss by water erosion in Europe (428 citations)
  • Rainfall Erosivity in Europe (246 citations)

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

Cristiano Ballabio focuses on Soil science, Soil carbon, Soil water, Hydrology and Topsoil. His work carried out in the field of Soil science brings together such families of science as Erosion and Multispectral image. His Soil water research incorporates elements of Fertilizer, Sink and Carbon sink.

His research in Hydrology is mostly concerned with Universal Soil Loss Equation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Field, Land use and Arable land in addition to Universal Soil Loss Equation. His Topsoil research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Land cover, Sampling, Soil test and Vegetation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil science (22.95%)
  • Soil carbon (21.31%)
  • Soil water (19.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Soil water (19.67%)
  • Erosion (16.39%)
  • Topsoil (18.03%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Soil water, Erosion, Topsoil, Soil carbon and Soil science. His studies deal with areas such as Fertilizer and Carbon sink as well as Soil water. His Erosion study deals with Soil conservation intersecting with Sustainable development, Common Agricultural Policy, Bank erosion, Water cycle and Universal Soil Loss Equation.

His Topsoil study which covers Soil test that intersects with Cation-exchange capacity, Soil survey and Land use. The Soil carbon study combines topics in areas such as Atmospheric sciences, Total organic carbon, Soil chemistry and Carbon transfer. In the field of Soil science, his study on Rill, Digital soil mapping and Soil texture overlaps with subjects such as Displacement and Context.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An assessment of the global impact of 21st century land use change on soil erosion. (445 citations)
  • Global rainfall erosivity assessment based on high-temporal resolution rainfall records (156 citations)
  • LUCAS Soil, the largest expandable soil dataset for Europe: a review (103 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Erosion
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Climatology, Kriging, Topsoil, Soil test and Physical geography. His work deals with themes such as Soil loss, Mediterranean climate, Mediterranean Basin and Water erosion, which intersect with Climatology. His Kriging research includes elements of Land cover, Climate change, Statistical model and Temperate climate.

He combines subjects such as Soil carbon, Soil contamination and Soil survey with his study of Topsoil. His study in Soil test is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil biodiversity, Sampling, Cation-exchange capacity and Hydrology. His Physical geography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Land productivity, Carbon cycle and Land use, land-use change and forestry.
