Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Intercropping, Hordeum vulgare, Sativum and Nitrogen fixation. As a part of the same scientific study, Erik Steen Jensen usually deals with the Agronomy, concentrating on Interspecific competition and frequently concerns with Competition. The various areas that Erik Steen Jensen examines in his Intercropping study include Loam, Grain quality, Crop yield and Crop.

The various areas that Erik Steen Jensen examines in his Crop yield study include Agriculture and Organic farming. The Sativum study combines topics in areas such as Poaceae and Root system. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phycomycetes and Hypha.

His most cited work include:

  • The contributions of nitrogen-fixing crop legumes to the productivity of agricultural systems. (402 citations)
  • Grain yield, symbiotic N2 fixation and interspecific competition for inorganic N in pea-barley intercrops (390 citations)
  • Legumes for mitigation of climate change and the provision of feedstock for biofuels and biorefineries. A review (352 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Intercropping, Legume, Agroforestry and Organic farming. His Agronomy study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Nitrogen fixation. His study in Intercropping is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Interspecific competition, Cropping, Agriculture, Crop yield and Weed control.

His Legume study combines topics in areas such as Perennial plant, Vicia faba and Shoot. In his study, Biofuel is strongly linked to Biomass, which falls under the umbrella field of Agroforestry. His Organic farming research focuses on Crop rotation and how it relates to Green manure and Crop residue.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (63.36%)
  • Intercropping (31.90%)
  • Legume (17.24%)

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

  • Agronomy (63.36%)
  • Intercropping (31.90%)
  • Legume (17.24%)

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

Erik Steen Jensen mostly deals with Agronomy, Intercropping, Legume, Agroforestry and Cropping. His work is dedicated to discovering how Agronomy, Biomass are connected with Cropping system and other disciplines. His Intercropping study incorporates themes from Crop, Interspecific competition, Agriculture, Agroecology and Shoot.

His studies in Legume integrate themes in fields like Rhizobium, Vicia faba and Monocropping. His Agroforestry research includes elements of Sustainability, Organic farming and Ecosystem services. His Cropping study also includes

  • Arable land which connect with Agricultural diversification and Forage,
  • Sustainable agriculture which is related to area like Plant species and Yield.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ecological principles underlying the increase of productivity achieved by cereal-grain legume intercrops in organic farming. A review. (207 citations)
  • Does intercropping enhance yield stability in arable crop production? A meta-analysis (88 citations)
  • Going where no grains have gone before: From early to mid-succession (60 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Erik Steen Jensen spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Intercropping, Agriculture, Agroforestry and Crop yield. He performs integrative study on Agronomy and Yield in his works. His research integrates issues of Cropping, Legume and Yield in his study of Intercropping.

His work carried out in the field of Legume brings together such families of science as Reactive nitrogen, Fertilizer and Crop. His Agroforestry research includes themes of Soil organic matter, Soil health, Ecology and Ecosystem services. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cropping system and Organic farming in addition to Crop yield.
