Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

Denis A. Angers focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Organic matter and Soil carbon. Soil test, Straw and Animal science is closely connected to Crop residue in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Agronomy. His Soil water research integrates issues from Environmental chemistry, Tillage and Manure.

His study in Soil organic matter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroecosystem, Soil type, Humus, Soil fertility and Ecosystem. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology, Inceptisol and Soil structure. His Soil carbon research incorporates elements of Agroforestry, Environmental protection, Sustainable development, Carbon sequestration and Greenhouse gas.

His most cited work include:

  • Towards a minimum data set to assess soil organic matter quality in agricultural soils (890 citations)
  • The knowns, known unknowns and unknowns of sequestration of soil organic carbon (710 citations)
  • Soil carbon 4 per mille (559 citations)

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

Denis A. Angers spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Soil water, Soil carbon, Loam and Manure. His work deals with themes such as Soil organic matter, Organic matter and Soil horizon, which intersect with Agronomy. Denis A. Angers has researched Soil water in several fields, including Environmental chemistry and Agriculture, Crop residue.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Soil carbon, Topsoil are connected with Subsoil and other disciplines. The Loam study combines topics in areas such as Soil classification, Slurry, Soil pH and Soil test. His research in Manure intersects with topics in Denitrification, Lysimeter, Nutrient and Grassland.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (57.48%)
  • Soil water (48.13%)
  • Soil carbon (26.17%)

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

  • Soil water (48.13%)
  • Soil carbon (26.17%)
  • Agronomy (57.48%)

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

Denis A. Angers mainly investigates Soil water, Soil carbon, Agronomy, Tillage and Agriculture. His Soil water study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry and Land management. The Environmental chemistry study which covers Organic matter that intersects with Soil organic matter and Bulk density.

The various areas that Denis A. Angers examines in his Soil carbon study include Carbon sequestration and Climate change mitigation, Climate change, Greenhouse gas. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Soil horizon. His Tillage course of study focuses on Loam and Crop rotation and Temperate environment.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Increasing organic stocks in agricultural soils: Knowledge gaps and potential innovations (117 citations)
  • How to measure, report and verify soil carbon change to realize the potential of soil carbon sequestration for atmospheric greenhouse gas removal. (52 citations)
  • Fine resolution map of top- and subsoil carbon sequestration potential in France (52 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Carbon dioxide

His main research concerns Soil carbon, Tillage, Agronomy, Soil science and Carbon sequestration. Soil carbon is a primary field of his research addressed under Soil water. His studies in Tillage integrate themes in fields like Soil organic matter and Soil horizon.

His work on Sanguisorba minor, Monoculture and Biomass as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Length density, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work on Topsoil, Humus and Soil structure is typically connected to Saturation as part of general Soil science study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Carbon sequestration research includes themes of Soil biodiversity, Soil fertility, Environmental protection and Agriculture, Conservation agriculture.
