Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Mineralization, Soil water, Crop residue and Loam. Georges Hofman frequently studies issues relating to Dairy farming and Agronomy. His studies in Mineralization integrate themes in fields like Soil organic matter, Environmental chemistry and Nitrogen cycle.

His Soil organic matter study incorporates themes from Organic matter, Erosion and Soil fertility. His work is connected to Soil carbon and Soil classification, as a part of Soil water. The various areas that Georges Hofman examines in his Crop residue study include Winter wheat, Nitrification inhibitors, Crystallography, Red cabbage and Chemical composition.

His most cited work include:

  • Mitigation options to reduce phosphorus losses from the agricultural sector and improve surface water quality: a review. (208 citations)
  • The effects of nutrient losses from agriculture on ground and surface water quality: the position of science in developing indicators for regulation (149 citations)
  • Influence of soil compaction on carbon and nitrogen mineralization of soil organic matter and crop residues (143 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Soil science and Mineralization. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil organic matter, Loam, Crop residue and Nitrate. He interconnects Soil classification, Soil carbon and Soil fertility in the investigation of issues within Soil organic matter.

His study focuses on the intersection of Crop residue and fields such as Agroforestry with connections in the field of Forestry. His work on Soil horizon, Leaching and Soil test as part of general Soil water study is frequently linked to Saturation, bridging the gap between disciplines. Georges Hofman works mostly in the field of Environmental chemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Nitrogen cycle and, in certain cases, Animal science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (41.96%)
  • Soil water (25.52%)
  • Environmental chemistry (13.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

  • Agronomy (41.96%)
  • Soil water (25.52%)
  • Crop residue (11.54%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil water, Crop residue, Agriculture and Soil organic matter. He has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Organic matter and Loam. His Soil water research includes themes of Chromatography and Horticulture.

His Crop residue study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Leaching, Nitrification inhibitors, Mineralization and Straw. His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water quality, Soil fertility and Agricultural science. His Soil organic matter research includes elements of Soil classification and Soil carbon.

Between 2005 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Mitigation options to reduce phosphorus losses from the agricultural sector and improve surface water quality: a review. (208 citations)
  • Energy use efficiency of specialised dairy, arable and pig farms in Flanders (116 citations)
  • Management, regulation and environmental impacts of nitrogen fertilization in northwestern Europe under the Nitrates Directive; a benchmark study (116 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

Georges Hofman mainly focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Soil carbon, Total organic carbon and Loam. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Crop residue and Arable land. Georges Hofman works mostly in the field of Crop residue, limiting it down to concerns involving Mineralization and, occasionally, Leaching, Leaching model, Compost and Green waste.

His research integrates issues of Organic matter, Fertilizer, Chromatography, Environmental chemistry and Nitrate in his study of Soil water. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil organic matter and Soil management. His work investigates the relationship between Total organic carbon and topics such as Erosion that intersect with problems in Surface runoff, Soil science and Sediment transport.
