Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Oxygen

Hailin Zhang mainly focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Soil test, Nitrogen and Environmental chemistry. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nitrogen management, Phosphorus and Nutrient. His studies examine the connections between Phosphorus and genetics, as well as such issues in Nutrient management, with regards to Water quality.

His work carried out in the field of Soil water brings together such families of science as Saturation, Organic matter and Vegetation. His Soil test research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil contamination, Cultivar, Extraction, Hydrology and Mineralogy. His Nitrogen study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Volatilisation, Fertilizer, Paddy field and Ammonia.

His most cited work include:

  • Recent advances in utilization of biochar (346 citations)
  • Optical Sensor‐Based Algorithm for Crop Nitrogen Fertilization (222 citations)
  • Fertilization and Nitrogen Balance in a Wheat–Maize Rotation System in North China (211 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Soil water, Soil test, Fertilizer and Phosphorus. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Soil pH, Nutrient and Nitrogen. Hailin Zhang has included themes like Environmental chemistry, Organic matter, Extraction and Surface runoff in his Soil water study.

Hailin Zhang combines subjects such as Soil chemistry, Crop rotation and Soil fertility with his study of Soil test. His work deals with themes such as Growing season and Animal science, which intersect with Fertilizer. The concepts of his Phosphorus study are interwoven with issues in Water quality, Pasture, Litter and Poultry litter.

  • Agronomy (45.77%)
  • Soil water (30.85%)
  • Soil test (19.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Agronomy (45.77%)
  • Soil water (30.85%)
  • Biochar (6.97%)

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

Agronomy, Soil water, Biochar, Soil science and Nitrogen are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Biomass, Potassium and Phosphorus in his study of Agronomy. His Phosphorus study combines topics in areas such as No-till farming, Soil test and Oxisol.

His study in the fields of Soil horizon under the domain of Soil water overlaps with other disciplines such as Laboratory methods. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ethanol fuel, Agriculture, Straw and Poultry litter. His Nitrogen research includes elements of Leaching and Field experiment.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Enhanced ethanol production by Clostridium ragsdalei from syngas by incorporating biochar in the fermentation medium (30 citations)
  • Biochar enhanced ethanol and butanol production by Clostridium carboxidivorans from syngas. (23 citations)
  • Wheat straw biochar application increases ammonia volatilization from an urban compacted soil giving a short-term reduction in fertilizer nitrogen use efficiency (16 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Oxygen

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochar, Soil water, Agronomy, Ethanol fuel and Amendment. The Biochar study combines topics in areas such as Field experiment, Leaching, Nitrogen, Wastewater and Ammonia. His work in the fields of Soil water, such as Soil organic matter, intersects with other areas such as Macropore and Laboratory methods.

In the field of Agronomy, his study on Human fertilization overlaps with subjects such as Term. His Ethanol fuel research incorporates themes from Syngas and Yeast extract. His Environmental chemistry study also includes fields such as

  • Poultry litter which connect with Soil carbon, Soil contamination, Lolium perenne and Pyrolysis,
  • Soil health most often made with reference to Cation-exchange capacity.
