What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Redox

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Soil water, Total organic carbon, Soil pH, Soil organic matter and Environmental chemistry. His Soil water research includes themes of Organic matter, Mineralogy and Vegetation. His study in Total organic carbon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inorganic chemistry, Redox, Dissolved organic carbon and Metal.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Podzol and Anthrosol in addition to Inorganic chemistry. His work deals with themes such as Mineral oil, Soil contamination and Biodegradation, which intersect with Environmental chemistry. His study in the field of Soil acidification and Soil carbon is also linked to topics like Macropore and Volcanic ash.

His most cited work include:

• Improved treatment of uncertainty in hydrologic modeling: Combining the strengths of global optimization and data assimilation (456 citations)
• The effects of fire and water repellency on infiltration and runoff under Mediterranean type forest (305 citations)
• Soil water content measurements at different scales: accuracy of time domain reflectometry and ground-penetrating radar (268 citations)

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

Jacobus M. Verstraten focuses on Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Organic matter, Soil organic matter and Ecology. His study in Soil water focuses on Soil horizon in particular. His Environmental chemistry research focuses on Soil acidification and how it relates to Forest ecology.
