In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Ecosystem, STREAMS, Desmognathus quadramaculatus and Hemlock woolly adelgid.
His work on Distance decay, Beta diversity and Invertebrate as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Lag and Simulated data, bridging the gap between disciplines.
The Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Trophic level, Organic matter, Aquatic ecosystem and Community structure.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Reforestation, Agronomy, Hydrobiology, Nutrient and Environmental impact of agriculture in addition to STREAMS.
His Hemlock woolly adelgid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nutrient cycle, Ecosystem respiration, Stream metabolism, Forest ecology and Forest floor.
His Primary production research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Productivity, Biomass, Periphyton, Grassland and Biome.
Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

- Agriculture
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Ecosystem, STREAMS, Trophic level and Plant litter.
Ecosystem is closely attributed to Community structure in his work.
His research in Community structure intersects with topics in Phosphorus, Aquatic ecosystem, Freshwater ecosystem and Acid rain.
He regularly links together related areas like Abundance in his Aquatic ecosystem studies.
Ernest F. Benfield has included themes like Hemlock woolly adelgid, Tsuga and Riparian forest, Riparian zone in his Trophic level study.
His Biome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass, Periphyton, Primary production, Productivity and Grassland.
