Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Erosion

Eric C. Brevik spends much of his time researching Soil water, Hydrology, Soil retrogression and degradation, Soil organic matter and Soil science. He has researched Soil water in several fields, including Sustainability, Food security and Ecosystem. His studies in Hydrology integrate themes in fields like Aeolian processes, Salt marsh, Carbon sequestration, Mediterranean climate and Land-use planning.

The concepts of his Soil organic matter study are interwoven with issues in Surface runoff and Agronomy. His studies deal with areas such as No-till farming and Soil management as well as Surface runoff. His research on Soil science frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Erosion.

His most cited work include:

  • The interdisciplinary nature of SOIL (381 citations)
  • Effects of soil management techniques on soil water erosion in apricot orchards (245 citations)
  • The use of electromagnetic induction techniques in soils studies (195 citations)

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

Soil water, Soil science, Hydrology, Soil map and Soil survey are his primary areas of study. Soil conservation is closely connected to Erosion in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Soil water. In general Soil science study, his work on Soil series, Topsoil and Digital soil mapping often relates to the realm of Electrical resistivity and conductivity, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His work deals with themes such as Mediterranean climate and Sediment, which intersect with Hydrology. His research investigates the connection between Soil map and topics such as Environmental resource management that intersect with issues in Land use. As part of his studies on Soil survey, Eric C. Brevik frequently links adjacent subjects like Soil classification.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (28.15%)
  • Soil science (19.63%)
  • Hydrology (17.41%)

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

  • Soil water (28.15%)
  • Environmental planning (6.30%)
  • Business (3.70%)

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

His main research concerns Soil water, Environmental planning, Business, Environmental protection and Human health. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecosystem, Agronomy and Pollution. His Environmental planning research includes elements of Natural, Pedodiversity, Geodiversity and Land degradation.

Business combines with fields such as Ecosystem services, Sustainability, Sustainable management, Food processing and Sustainable development in his work. His Environmental protection research integrates issues from Soil conservation and Soil management. His study on Soil management is covered under Agriculture.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The effect of soil on human health: an overview (79 citations)
  • Long-term impact of rainfed agricultural land abandonment on soil erosion in the Western Mediterranean basin: (67 citations)
  • The multidisciplinary origin of soil geography: A review (65 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Erosion

Eric C. Brevik mainly investigates Environmental planning, Soil water, Business, Surface runoff and Soil science. His Environmental planning study combines topics in areas such as Pedodiversity and Geodiversity. His study explores the link between Soil water and topics such as Ecosystem that cross with problems in Environmental protection, Soil retrogression and degradation and Vegetation.

Surface runoff is a subfield of Hydrology that Eric C. Brevik investigates. Eric C. Brevik has included themes like Nitrate transport, Pollutant transport and Loess in his Hydrology study. His work on Soil physics as part of his general Soil science study is frequently connected to Subject areas, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
