Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Intercropping, Crop yield, Hordeum vulgare and Cropping system. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil fertility, Nitrogen fixation, Biomass and Biochar. Henrik Hauggaard-Nielsen has included themes like Loam and Crop in his Intercropping study.

His Crop yield research incorporates themes from Agriculture and Organic farming. The Hordeum vulgare study combines topics in areas such as Permanent wilting point, Sativum, Field pea, Irrigation and Soil water. His Cropping system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cropping, Nutrient and Crop rotation.

His most cited work include:

  • The contributions of nitrogen-fixing crop legumes to the productivity of agricultural systems. (402 citations)
  • Legumes for mitigation of climate change and the provision of feedstock for biofuels and biorefineries. A review (352 citations)
  • INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION, N USE AND INTERFERENCE WITH WEEDS IN PEA-BARLEY INTERCROPPING (351 citations)

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

Henrik Hauggaard-Nielsen mainly focuses on Agronomy, Intercropping, Agroforestry, Agriculture and Biochar. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water and Soil fertility. Within one scientific family, Henrik Hauggaard-Nielsen focuses on topics pertaining to Soil organic matter under Soil fertility, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Soil biology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sativum, Cropping, Crop yield, Organic farming and Cropping system. His Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Bioenergy and Sustainability. He combines subjects such as Environmental chemistry, Loam, Straw and Carbon sequestration with his study of Biochar.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (58.60%)
  • Intercropping (33.87%)
  • Agroforestry (19.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Agronomy (58.60%)
  • Legume (13.98%)
  • Agriculture (17.74%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Legume, Agriculture, Intercropping and Fertilizer. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water, Soil fertility, Soil conditioner, Biochar and Biogas. His Legume research integrates issues from Reactive nitrogen and Biotechnology.

His work on Cropping, Sustainable agriculture and Agroecology is typically connected to Participatory action research and Knowledge management as part of general Agriculture study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Intercropping study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Perennial plant, Allometry, Economic geography, Interspecific competition and Forage. His Fertilizer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sludge and Pulp and paper industry.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The effect of straw and wood gasification biochar on carbon sequestration, selected soil fertility indicators and functional groups in soil: An incubation study (74 citations)
  • Effects of gasification biochar on plant-available water capacity and plant growth in two contrasting soil types (64 citations)
  • Productivity and carbon footprint of perennial grass–forage legume intercropping strategies with high or low nitrogen fertilizer input (41 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Fertilizer, Biochar, Soil conditioner and Soil fertility. His Fertilizer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sludge, Legume, Agriculture, Intercropping and Greenhouse gas. Henrik Hauggaard-Nielsen has researched Intercropping in several fields, including Red Clover, Pasture, Cover crop, Crop yield and Forage.

His Greenhouse gas research includes elements of Cropping, Reactive nitrogen, Carbon sequestration and Crop. His studies deal with areas such as Available water capacity, Subsoil and Straw as well as Biochar. As a part of the same scientific study, Henrik Hauggaard-Nielsen usually deals with the Soil conditioner, concentrating on Soil organic matter and frequently concerns with Soil biology and Soil quality.
