  • 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.
