Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Phosphorite, Agronomy, Nutrient and Plant physiology. His work on Mycelium and Hypha as part of general Botany research is often related to Ectomycorrhiza, thus linking different fields of science. His Phosphorite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Citric acid and Malic acid.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil biology, Organic matter, Soil carbon and Soil organic matter in addition to Agronomy. His Organic matter study deals with No-till farming intersecting with Soil quality. His Plant physiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phosphorus deficiency and Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • Linking plants to rocks: ectomycorrhizal fungi mobilize nutrients from minerals. (522 citations)
  • Solubilization of rock phosphate by rape. II. Local root exudation of organic acids as a response to P-starvation (496 citations)
  • Fungal/bacterial ratios in grasslands with contrasting nitrogen management (338 citations)

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

Ellis Hoffland mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Botany, Nutrient and Soil organic matter. As a member of one scientific family, Ellis Hoffland mostly works in the field of Agronomy, focusing on Soil carbon and, on occasion, Biochar. His Soil water research integrates issues from Environmental chemistry and Organic matter.

His research in Botany tackles topics such as Phosphorite which are related to areas like Malic acid and Citric acid. His Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Animal science, Extraction, Competition and Root system. He has researched Soil organic matter in several fields, including Soil biology, Agroecosystem, Soil quality, Mineralization and Soil chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (47.62%)
  • Soil water (31.43%)
  • Botany (18.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Agronomy (47.62%)
  • Soil water (31.43%)
  • Soil organic matter (16.19%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Soil carbon and Organic matter. As a part of the same scientific family, Ellis Hoffland mostly works in the field of Agronomy, focusing on Bulk soil and, on occasion, Soil biology. Ellis Hoffland interconnects Cover crop, Litter and Ecosystem in the investigation of issues within Soil water.

His work in Soil organic matter addresses issues such as Mineralization, which are connected to fields such as Compost. His work carried out in the field of Organic matter brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry and Crop rotation. His Fertilizer research incorporates themes from Soil pH and Nutrient.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Intercropping enhances soil carbon and nitrogen (136 citations)
  • Plant species richness promotes soil carbon and nitrogen stocks in grasslands without legumes (133 citations)
  • Emission of CO2 from biochar-amended soils and implications for soil organic carbon (49 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Organic matter, Soil water and Mineralization. His studies deal with areas such as Soil biology, Agriculture and Nematode as well as Agronomy. His work in Soil organic matter covers topics such as Soil carbon which are related to areas like Biochar and Carbon sequestration.

His work focuses on many connections between Organic matter and other disciplines, such as Crop rotation, that overlap with his field of interest in Agroecosystem, Rhizoctonia solani, Manure, Tillage and Fusarium oxysporum. His studies examine the connections between Soil water and genetics, as well as such issues in Compost, with regards to Litter, Soil respiration, Environmental chemistry, Dissolved organic carbon and Humic acid. His research in Mineralization intersects with topics in Biomass and Soil biodiversity, Soil fertility, Bulk soil.
