Jean-Dominique Meunier mainly investigates Biogeochemical cycle, Weathering, Phytolith, Biogenic silica and Mineralogy. His research in Biogeochemical cycle intersects with topics in Ecosystem, Terrestrial ecosystem, Silicate and Oceanography, Biogeochemistry. His Weathering research focuses on subjects like Soil production function, which are linked to Organic matter, Soil horizon and Environmental chemistry.
His Phytolith research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vegetation and Holocene. His Biogenic silica study incorporates themes from Deep sea, Parent rock and Horizon. The concepts of his Mineralogy study are interwoven with issues in Larch, Isotopes of silicon, Igneous rock and Analytical chemistry.
His most cited work include:
- Plant impact on the biogeochemical cycle of silicon and related weathering processes (377 citations)
- Benefits of plant silicon for crops: a review (340 citations)
- Phytoliths: indicators of grassland dynamics during the late Holocene in intertropical Africa (289 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Soil water, Phytolith, Mineralogy, Weathering and Environmental chemistry. His Soil water research incorporates themes from Perturbation, Biogenic silica and Agronomy. He combines subjects such as Pedogenesis, Vegetation and Holocene with his study of Phytolith.
His Mineralogy research includes elements of Geochemistry and Dissolution. His Biogeochemical cycle research extends to the thematically linked field of Weathering. His Biogeochemical cycle study which covers Plant litter that intersects with Litter.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Agronomy, Isotopes of silicon and Clay minerals. His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Kaolinite and Weathering. In his research, Jean-Dominique Meunier undertakes multidisciplinary study on Weathering and Bioavailability.
In his study, Irrigation, Nutrient, Isotopic signature, Biogeochemical cycle and Soil pH is inextricably linked to Paddy field, which falls within the broad field of Environmental chemistry. His work on Manure as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Lime, Biochar and Yield, thus linking different fields of science. His Soil science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rayleigh fractionation and Phytolith.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- pH as a proxy for estimating plant-available Si? A case study in rice fields in Karnataka (South India) (20 citations)
- Diatomaceous earth as source of silicon on the growth and yield of rice in contrasted soils of Southern India (14 citations)
- Origin of silica in rice plants and contribution of diatom Earth fertilization : insights from isotopic Si mass balance in a paddy field (12 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Ecosystem
Paddy field, Fertilizer, Environmental chemistry, Soil water and Kaolinite are his primary areas of study. His Paddy field research integrates issues from Irrigation, Soil test, Biogeochemical cycle, Isotopic signature and Nutrient. To a larger extent, Jean-Dominique Meunier studies Agronomy with the aim of understanding Fertilizer.
His research integrates issues of Soil pH, Cation-exchange capacity, Silt and Weathering in his study of Environmental chemistry. His specific area of interest is Soil water, where Jean-Dominique Meunier studies Alkali soil.
