Her scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Invasive species, Microbial population biology, Ecology and Botany. Her work deals with themes such as Shrub, Inoculation, Revegetation and Soil fertility, which intersect with Agronomy. Her Inoculation research integrates issues from Shoot and Fungus.

Her study in Revegetation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil quality and Drought tolerance. She works in the field of Botany, namely Plant physiology. Her work in Plant physiology covers topics such as Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi which are related to areas like Soil water.

Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation mediated changes in rhizosphere bacterial community structure while promoting revegetation in a semiarid ecosystem. (37 citations)

  • Striking alterations in the soil bacterial community structure and functioning of the biological N cycle induced by Pennisetum setaceum invasion in a semiarid environment (25 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Her primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Botany, Community structure, Microbial population biology and Shrub. Fuensanta Caravaca interconnects Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Soil fertility in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. Her Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil water and Ecology.

Her work carried out in the field of Community structure brings together such families of science as Pennisetum setaceum, Invasive species, Species richness and Soil respiration. Her Microbial population biology research spans across into areas like Ecology, Human fertilization, Nutrient cycle, Manure and Cover crop. The various areas that she examines in her Shrub study include Shoot, Inoculation, Revegetation and Fungus.
