Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Ecosystem

Ji-Zheng He mainly investigates Soil microbiology, Nitrification, Ecology, Agronomy and Archaea. His Soil microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Resistome, Acidobacteria and Botany. The Nitrification study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry, Nitrate, Nitrogen cycle and Terrestrial ecosystem.

His Ecology research includes themes of Microbial ecology and Thaumarchaeota. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gemmatimonadetes, Soil water and Rhizosphere. In general Soil water, his work in Topsoil is often linked to Veterinary medicine linking many areas of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Quantitative analyses of the abundance and composition of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria and ammonia‐oxidizing archaea of a Chinese upland red soil under long‐term fertilization practices (766 citations)
  • Nitrification driven by bacteria and not archaea in nitrogen-rich grassland soils (603 citations)
  • Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have more important role than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in ammonia oxidation of strongly acidic soils (445 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Soil water, Agronomy, Soil microbiology and Nitrification. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Microbial population biology. His study in Soil water is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental chemistry and Botany.

His Agronomy research integrates issues from Soil organic matter, Rhizosphere and Soil biology. His Soil microbiology study deals with Microcosm intersecting with Microorganism. His Nitrification research incorporates themes from Nitrous oxide, Archaea, Nitrogen cycle, Denitrification and Nitrate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (62.62%)
  • Soil water (49.01%)
  • Agronomy (38.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ecology (62.62%)
  • Soil water (49.01%)
  • Ecosystem (24.01%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Soil water, Ecosystem, Agronomy and Microbiome. Ecology is represented through his Biodiversity, Soil microbiology, Species richness, Terrestrial ecosystem and Soil pH research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climate change and Antibiotic resistance genes.

Ji-Zheng He has researched Soil water in several fields, including Subtropics, Relative species abundance and Environmental chemistry. Ji-Zheng He combines subjects such as Library, Nitrification, Nitrospira, Comammox and Nitrososphaera with his study of Environmental chemistry. Ji-Zheng He focuses mostly in the field of Agronomy, narrowing it down to topics relating to Nitrate and, in certain cases, Soil horizon, Nitrogen cycle and Straw.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multiple elements of soil biodiversity drive ecosystem functions across biomes. (58 citations)
  • Multiple elements of soil biodiversity drive ecosystem functions across biomes. (58 citations)
  • Rare microbial taxa as the major drivers of ecosystem multifunctionality in long-term fertilized soils (36 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Ecosystem

Ji-Zheng He mainly investigates Ecology, Soil microbiology, Context, Soil water and Ecosystem. He interconnects Resistome and Nitrospira in the investigation of issues within Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Paddy soils and Antibiotic resistance genes in addition to Soil microbiology.

His Soil water study frequently links to other fields, such as Microorganism. His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Biomass, Diversity index, Biodiversity and Proteobacteria. His study focuses on the intersection of Nitrification and fields such as Nitrate with connections in the field of Environmental chemistry.
