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.
