Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

Agronomy, Soil science, Soil organic matter, Soil water and Revegetation are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Total organic carbon and Robinia. His study looks at the intersection of Soil science and topics like Hydrology with Vegetation, Xylem and Nutrient.

His Soil organic matter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil quality, Soil fertility and Botany. His study explores the link between Soil water and topics such as Water content that cross with problems in Soil type. Guobin Liu interconnects Shrubland, Ecological succession, Woodland and Grassland in the investigation of issues within Soil carbon.

His most cited work include:

  • Soil bacterial community dynamics reflect changes in plant community and soil properties during the secondary succession of abandoned farmland in the Loess Plateau (191 citations)
  • Soil bacterial community dynamics reflect changes in plant community and soil properties during the secondary succession of abandoned farmland in the Loess Plateau (191 citations)
  • Sapflow characteristics and climatic responses in three forest species in the semiarid Loess Plateau region of China (125 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil water, Soil science and Vegetation. His study looks at the relationship between Agronomy and topics such as Rhizosphere, which overlap with Botany. Guobin Liu conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Soil carbon and Loess through his works.

As part of his studies on Soil water, Guobin Liu often connects relevant subjects like Revegetation. His research in Soil science intersects with topics in Hydrology, Watershed, Erosion and Surface runoff. His Grassland research integrates issues from Shrubland and Soil horizon.

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

Guobin Liu spends much of his time researching Vegetation, Soil carbon, Agronomy, Microbial population biology and Nutrient. Guobin Liu has included themes like Loess plateau, Grain for green and Grassland in his Soil carbon study. His Grassland research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil nutrients and Revegetation.

His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Fibrous root system and Soil test. His Microbial population biology study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient cycle, Soil water and Terrestrial ecosystem. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass and Plant community as well as Nutrient.
