Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

Elizabeth M. Baggs mostly deals with Denitrification, Environmental chemistry, Nitrification, Soil water and Nitrous oxide. Her Denitrification research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Loam, Nitrate and Nitrogen cycle. Her Loam research focuses on Agronomy and how it connects with Arable land.

Her work in Environmental chemistry covers topics such as Methanotroph which are related to areas like Methanogenesis, Water content, Soil organic matter and Carbon sequestration. Her Nitrification research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil pH, Soil fertility and Microbial population biology. Her studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and Isotope-ratio mass spectrometry.

Her most cited work include:

  • Nitrous oxide emissions from soils: how well do we understand the processes and their controls? (1122 citations)
  • Contributions of nitrification and denitrification to N2O emissions from soils at different water-filled pore space (748 citations)
  • Nitrous oxide emission from soils after incorporating crop residues (343 citations)

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

Elizabeth M. Baggs mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil water, Denitrification, Environmental chemistry and Nitrous oxide. She combines subjects such as Nutrient cycle, Crop residue, Soil fertility and Mineralization with her study of Agronomy. Her Soil water study is associated with Ecology.

Her Denitrification research incorporates themes from Nitrate, Loam, Nitrification and Nitrogen cycle. Her study explores the link between Environmental chemistry and topics such as Aerobic denitrification that cross with problems in Soil microbiology. Her study looks at the intersection of Nitrous oxide and topics like Methane with Tropical andes.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (40.54%)
  • Soil water (32.43%)
  • Denitrification (30.63%)

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

  • Soil water (32.43%)
  • Agronomy (40.54%)
  • Grassland (5.41%)

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

Elizabeth M. Baggs focuses on Soil water, Agronomy, Grassland, Environmental chemistry and Ecology. Elizabeth M. Baggs studies Soil carbon which is a part of Soil water. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Ecosystem and Greenhouse gas.

Her Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Edaphic, Mineralization, Soil functions, Topsoil and Denitrification. Elizabeth M. Baggs works mostly in the field of Denitrification, limiting it down to topics relating to Environmental change and, in certain cases, Microbial population biology, as a part of the same area of interest. She focuses mostly in the field of Ecology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Plant growth and, in certain cases, Climate extremes, Plant diversity and Plant soil.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Predicting the structure of soil communities from plant community taxonomy, phylogeny, and traits (91 citations)
  • Fungal diversity regulates plant-soil feedbacks in temperate grassland (45 citations)
  • Using plant, microbe and soil fauna traits to improve the predictive power of biogeochemical models (19 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

Elizabeth M. Baggs spends much of her time researching Agronomy, Soil water, Ecosystem, Grassland and Biodiversity. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Microbial population biology, Environmental change, Soil pH, Denitrification and Community structure. Her specific area of interest is Soil water, where she studies Plant soil.

Her work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Soil biodiversity, Soil functions and Trophic level. Biomass, Soil microbiology and Soil chemistry is closely connected to Abiotic component in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Grassland. Her Biodiversity study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Ecology.
