Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide

Erik Smolders mainly investigates Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Soil contamination, Cadmium and Soil pH. His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Mineralogy and Agronomy. His study in Environmental chemistry focuses on Dissolved organic carbon in particular.

His work carried out in the field of Soil contamination brings together such families of science as Potassium, Dry weight and Soil type. His Cadmium study incorporates themes from Deposition, Lability, Bioavailability and Aqua regia, Metal. His research in Soil pH intersects with topics in Chronic toxicity and Cation-exchange capacity.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant uptake of radiocaesium: a review of mechanisms, regulation and application. (326 citations)
  • Inputs of trace elements in agricultural soils via phosphate fertilizers in European countries (273 citations)
  • Toxicity of trace metals in soil as affected by soil type and aging after contamination: using calibrated bioavailability models to set ecological soil standards. (270 citations)

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

Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Agronomy, Zinc and Phosphorus are his primary areas of study. Erik Smolders has researched Environmental chemistry in several fields, including Organic matter, Bioavailability, Soil contamination and Cadmium. Erik Smolders combines subjects such as Inorganic chemistry and Metal with his study of Cadmium.

His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Nitrification and Sorption. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rhizosphere and Nutrient. His study ties his expertise on Toxicity together with the subject of Zinc.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (50.23%)
  • Soil water (39.14%)
  • Agronomy (17.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (50.23%)
  • Soil water (39.14%)
  • Phosphorus (12.67%)

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

Erik Smolders focuses on Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Phosphorus, Agronomy and Phosphate. The various areas that he examines in his Environmental chemistry study include Zinc, Daphnia magna, Toxicity, Bioavailability and Metal. The study incorporates disciplines such as Crop yield, Cadmium and Sorption in addition to Soil water.

His Phosphorus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Organic matter and Sowing. In his study, Soil organic matter is inextricably linked to Soil carbon, which falls within the broad field of Agronomy. His research integrates issues of Inorganic chemistry, Sediment and Adsorption, Layered double hydroxides in his study of Phosphate.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phosphate-Exchanged Mg–Al Layered Double Hydroxides: A New Slow Release Phosphate Fertilizer (86 citations)
  • Sustainability of artisanal mining of cobalt in DR Congo (76 citations)
  • Challenges of Reducing Phosphorus Based Water Eutrophication in the Agricultural Landscapes of Northwest Europe (54 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Agronomy, Soil water, Phosphate and Phosphorus. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Daphnia magna, Toxicity and Ceriodaphnia dubia. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil organic matter, Organic matter and Soil carbon.

His work on Soil type is typically connected to Upland rice as part of general Soil water study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Phosphate study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Inorganic chemistry, Eutrophication and Adsorption, Layered double hydroxides. His Phosphate fertilizer study in the realm of Phosphorus interacts with subjects such as Low fertility.
