Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Soil biology, Earthworm, Soil organic matter and Ecosystem. His study in Soil horizon and Agricultural biodiversity falls within the category of Ecology. He interconnects Soil biodiversity and Ecosystem services in the investigation of issues within Soil biology.

His work carried out in the field of Earthworm brings together such families of science as Drilosphere and Tropics. His Soil organic matter research incorporates themes from Soil structure, Soil carbon, Agronomy and Soil fertility. His research investigates the connection with Ecosystem and areas like Biodiversity which intersect with concerns in Species richness.

His most cited work include:

  • Soil biodiversity for agricultural sustainability (547 citations)
  • Regulation of soil organic matter dynamics and microbial activityin the drilosphere and the role of interactionswith other edaphic functional domains (468 citations)
  • How do earthworms affect microfloral and faunal community diversity (372 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Earthworm, Biodiversity, Soil biology and Agronomy. His work on Ecology deals in particular with Ecosystem, Introduced species, Species richness, Abundance and Biomass. His study looks at the relationship between Earthworm and fields such as Soil water, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Biodiversity research integrates issues from Amazonian and Habitat. His research in Soil biology intersects with topics in Agroforestry, Soil biodiversity, Soil organic matter, Soil ecology and Soil structure. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Agronomy, Soil type is strongly linked to Soil management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (49.34%)
  • Earthworm (48.03%)
  • Biodiversity (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecology (49.34%)
  • Earthworm (48.03%)
  • Biodiversity (25.00%)

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

Ecology, Earthworm, Biodiversity, Species richness and Ecosystem are his primary areas of study. His study in Ecology concentrates on Biomass, Ecosystem engineer, Hymenoptera, ANT and Fauna. George G. Brown has researched Earthworm in several fields, including Environmental chemistry, Soil quality, Habitat and Taxon.

His Biodiversity study incorporates themes from Abundance and Ecosystem services. His work in Species richness addresses subjects such as Introduced species, which are connected to disciplines such as Forestry, Araucaria and Fimoscolex. His work on Soil biology as part of general Soil water study is frequently connected to Biochar, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global distribution of earthworm diversity (73 citations)
  • Towards an integrative understanding of soil biodiversity (26 citations)
  • Climate change effects on earthworms - a review (13 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biodiversity, Earthworm, Species richness and Abundance. Ecology is a component of his Ecosystem, Ecosystem engineer, Soil biodiversity, Subtropics and Hymenoptera studies. In the subject of general Ecosystem, his work in Ecosystem services is often linked to Effects of global warming, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

The concepts of his Earthworm study are interwoven with issues in Adaptation, Habitat and Invasive species. His studies in Habitat integrate themes in fields like Megascolecidae, Lumbricidae, Ecology, Identification and Terrestrial ecosystem. He combines subjects such as Araucaria, Forestry, Fimoscolex, Biomass and Introduced species with his study of Species richness.
