Overview

Edward G. Gregorich is affiliated with Agriculture and Agriculture-Food Canada in Canada. Their research primarily spans the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science, with significant contributions to Soil Science, Ecology, Plant Science, Atmospheric Science, and Civil and Structural Engineering as subfields of study.

Their work focuses on topics including Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics, Soil and Unsaturated Flow, Climate change and permafrost, Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology, Peatlands and Wetlands Ecology, Soil and Water Nutrient Dynamics, and Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions.

Gregorich has published multiple papers in different venues, among the most frequent are Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Canadian Journal of Soil Science, Geoderma, Soil Biology and Biochemistry, and the European Journal of Soil Biology. Their recent papers include:

  • Climate, carbon content, and soil texture control the independent formation and persistence of particulate and mineral-associated organic matter in soil (2020, Geoderma)
  • The 'soil health' metaphor: Illuminating or illusory? (2021, Soil Biology and Biochemistry)
  • Effect of bentonite as a soil amendment on field water-holding capacity, and millet photosynthesis and grain quality (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Litter composition has stronger influence on the structure of soil fungal than bacterial communities (2020, European Journal of Soil Biology)
  • Changes in soil biochemical properties following application of bentonite as a soil amendment (2020, European Journal of Soil Biology)
