Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

Eric Blanchart mostly deals with Ecology, Soil biology, Soil biodiversity, Agroforestry and Soil fertility. His studies in Soil biology integrate themes in fields like Soil organic matter, Soil structure and Soil ecology. In his study, No-till farming is strongly linked to Agronomy, which falls under the umbrella field of Soil organic matter.

His Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Tropics and Agroecology. While the research belongs to areas of Soil fertility, he spends his time largely on the problem of Cover crop, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Agriculture, Sustainable development, Crop rotation, Conservation agriculture and Cropping. His Biodiversity course of study focuses on Species richness and Earthworm and Amazon rainforest.

His most cited work include:

  • A Hierarchical Model for Decomposition in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Application to Soils of the Humid Tropics (407 citations)
  • Agricultural intensification, soil biodiversity and agroecosystem function in the tropics: the role of earthworms (197 citations)
  • Pasture damage by an Amazonian earthworm (166 citations)

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

Eric Blanchart mainly investigates Agronomy, Ecology, Earthworm, Soil water and Soil biology. He has included themes like Agroforestry, Soil carbon, Soil fertility, Mineralization and Soil organic matter in his Agronomy study. His Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Species richness and Oligochaeta study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Martinique, bridging the gap between disciplines.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass and Mesocosm in addition to Earthworm. Eric Blanchart focuses mostly in the field of Soil water, narrowing it down to topics relating to Mulch and, in certain cases, Conventional tillage. Eric Blanchart combines subjects such as Soil structure, Soil compaction, Land management and Soil ecology with his study of Soil biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (41.22%)
  • Ecology (26.72%)
  • Earthworm (23.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Agronomy (41.22%)
  • Earthworm (23.66%)
  • Ecology (26.72%)

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

Eric Blanchart focuses on Agronomy, Earthworm, Ecology, Soil water and Nutrient. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil biology and Soil quality. Eric Blanchart regularly links together related areas like Soil organic matter in his Soil biology studies.

The Earthworm study which covers Cover crop that intersects with Agriculture. His work on Ecosystem, Biomass and Ecosystem engineer as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Global distribution and Diversity, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. In his research on the topic of Soil water, Mineralization is strongly related with Organic matter.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ecological importance of soil bacterivores for ecosystem functions (110 citations)
  • Fourteen years of evidence for positive effects of conservation agriculture and organic farming on soil life (80 citations)
  • Global distribution of earthworm diversity (73 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Soil water, Soil fertility, Soil quality and Soil biodiversity. His work on Ecosystem, Biomass and Ecosystem engineer as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Aggregate, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research in Soil water intersects with topics in Organic matter and Elution.

Eric Blanchart works mostly in the field of Organic matter, limiting it down to topics relating to Climate change and, in certain cases, Soil organic matter. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil biology, Agroforestry, Soil management and Agronomy. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil structure and Spatial heterogeneity.
