What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Ecosystem
His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Nitrogen, Ecology, Drainage basin and Eutrophication.
His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Estuary, Nitrate and Nutrient.
His Nitrogen research includes themes of Agriculture, Agronomy and North sea.
His work focuses on many connections between Agriculture and other disciplines, such as Greenhouse gas, that overlap with his field of interest in Manure, Crop yield, Nutrient pollution and Cropping.
His work in Drainage basin addresses issues such as Surface water, which are connected to fields such as Riparian zone, Fecal coliform, Surface runoff and Outfall.
His Eutrophication study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass, Biogeochemical cycle and Diatom.
His most cited work include:
- Regional nitrogen budgets and riverine N & P fluxes for the drainages to the North Atlantic Ocean: Natural and human influences (1383 citations)
- The fate of nitrogen and phosphorus at the land-sea margin of the North Atlantic Ocean (703 citations)
- The European Nitrogen Assessment: Sources, Effects and Policy Perspectives (476 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Gilles Billen spends much of his time researching Hydrology, Eutrophication, Agriculture, Ecology and Nitrogen.
His research integrates issues of Estuary and Nitrate in his study of Hydrology.
His studies examine the connections between Nitrate and genetics, as well as such issues in Denitrification, with regards to Nitrification, Environmental chemistry and Nitrogen cycle.
Gilles Billen focuses mostly in the field of Eutrophication, narrowing it down to topics relating to Oceanography and, in certain cases, Coastal zone.
The Agriculture study combines topics in areas such as Livestock, Agronomy and Environmental protection.
Particularly relevant to Reactive nitrogen is his body of work in Nitrogen.
He most often published in these fields:
- Hydrology (31.10%)
- Eutrophication (20.38%)
- Agriculture (21.98%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?
- Agriculture (21.98%)
- Hydrology (31.10%)
- Eutrophication (20.38%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Agriculture, Hydrology, Eutrophication, Water quality and Ecosystem.
His Agriculture study incorporates themes from Livestock, Agronomy and Greenhouse gas.
Gilles Billen interconnects Leaching and Nitrogen in the investigation of issues within Agronomy.
His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Estuary and Structural basin.
His studies deal with areas such as Algal bloom, Oceanography and Water resource management as well as Eutrophication.
His Water quality study also includes
- Hydrology together with Tropics and Dominance,
- Pollution together with Water Framework Directive,
- Effluent that connect with fields like Environmental chemistry,
- Wastewater which connect with Water column and Phosphorus.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- 50 year trends in nitrogen use efficiency of world cropping systems: the relationship between yield and nitrogen input to cropland (387 citations)
- 50 year trends in nitrogen use efficiency of world cropping systems: the relationship between yield and nitrogen input to cropland (387 citations)
- Nitrogen fluxes from the landscape are controlled by net anthropogenic nitrogen inputs and by climate (207 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Ecosystem
Gilles Billen focuses on Agriculture, Livestock, Agronomy, Cropping and Eutrophication.
Gilles Billen combines subjects such as Drainage basin, Greenhouse gas, Manure and Environmental protection with his study of Agriculture.
As a part of the same scientific family, Gilles Billen mostly works in the field of Drainage basin, focusing on Water resource management and, on occasion, Water quality, Hydrology, Anoxic waters, Environmental quality and Water Framework Directive.
His Agronomy study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Nitrogen.
His work carried out in the field of Eutrophication brings together such families of science as Leaching and Ecosystem.
His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Structural basin, Watershed, Bay, Algal bloom and Nitrogen cycle.
