Overview

Fayez Raiesi is affiliated with Shahrekord University in Iran and has contributed extensively to research in environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences. Their work focuses primarily on soil science, biomaterials, pollution, management, monitoring, policy and law, and ecology.

The main research topics covered by their publications include:

  • Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics
  • Clay minerals and soil interactions
  • Heavy metals in environment
  • Rangeland and Wildlife Management
  • Soil and Water Nutrient Dynamics
  • Soil and Land Suitability Analysis
  • Chromium effects and bioremediation

Fayez Raiesi has published articles in notable venues such as CATENA, Biochar, Ecotoxicology, Journal of Water and Soil Science, and Land Degradation and Development. The following papers represent recent contributions demonstrating the breadth of their research:

  • The effects of biochar on soil nutrients status, microbial activity and carbon sequestration potential in two calcareous soils (2021, Biochar)
  • Development of a soil quality index for characterizing effects of land-use changes on degradation and ecological restoration of rangeland soils in a semi-arid ecosystem (2020, Land Degradation and Development)
  • The quantity and quality of soil organic matter and humic substances following dry-farming and subsequent restoration in an upland pasture (2021, CATENA)
  • Evaluating forest soil quality after deforestation and loss of ecosystem services using network analysis and factor analysis techniques (2021, CATENA)
  • Biochar alleviates metal toxicity and improves microbial community functions in a soil co-contaminated with cadmium and lead (2021, Biochar)

Frequent co-authors in Fayez Raiesi's publications include Nahid Azadi, Nammam Ali Azadi, Allahyar Khadem, H Besharati, and Mohammad Ali Khalaj. Collaboration with these researchers has contributed to a multidisciplinary approach in addressing complex environmental and soil-related challenges.

The research spans both fundamental and applied aspects of soil science, addressing key issues such as soil quality assessment, ecological restoration, contamination by heavy metals, and the role of biochar in soil remediation and nutrient dynamics. Analytical methods like network analysis and factor analysis feature in their approach to evaluating ecosystem services and soil quality.

This profile reflects a scientist engaged in advancing knowledge about soil environments, their management, and restoration with an emphasis on semi-arid ecosystems and contamination effects, contributing to academic resources in environmental and agricultural sciences.
