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)

  • 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.
