Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Crop yield, Nutrient management and Agriculture. Agronomy connects with themes related to Plant nutrition in his study. Jianbo Shen has included themes like Intercropping, Agricultural productivity and Nutrient in his Rhizosphere study.

His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dry weight, Botany, Cluster root and Animal science. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Crop yield, concentrating on Soil fertility and frequently concerns with Soil classification, Soil organic matter, Leaching and Soil type. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Resource and Agricultural economics.

His most cited work include:

  • Phosphorus Dynamics: From Soil to Plant (674 citations)
  • Improving intercropping: a synthesis of research in agronomy, plant physiology and ecology. (363 citations)
  • Improving crop productivity and resource use efficiency to ensure food security and environmental quality in China (309 citations)

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

Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Shoot, Nutrient and Horticulture are his primary areas of study. Jianbo Shen combines topics linked to Calcareous with his work on Agronomy. The concepts of his Rhizosphere study are interwoven with issues in Nutrient management and Vicia faba.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Nutrient management, Intensive farming and Resource is strongly linked to Agroforestry. His Shoot study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lupinus, Dry weight, Cluster root and Plant physiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Carboxylate, Plant nutrition and Botany in addition to Horticulture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (50.36%)
  • Rhizosphere (24.82%)
  • Shoot (25.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (50.36%)
  • Rhizosphere (24.82%)
  • Fertilizer (16.79%)

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

Jianbo Shen focuses on Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Fertilizer, Agriculture and Nutrient. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomass and Soil acidification. His study looks at the intersection of Rhizosphere and topics like Root system with Biophysics and Function.

His study in Fertilizer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water quality, Soil pH, Crop yield and Manure. His Agriculture study incorporates themes from Agroforestry and Green development. His studies deal with areas such as Lateral root, Horticulture and Human fertilization as well as Nutrient.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tradeoffs among root morphology, exudation and mycorrhizal symbioses for phosphorus-acquisition strategies of 16 crop species. (51 citations)
  • Swine manure valorization for phosphorus and nitrogen recovery by catalytic-thermal hydrolysis and struvite crystallization. (26 citations)
  • A shape-based method for automatic and rapid segmentation of roots in soil from X-ray computed tomography images: Rootine (20 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Jianbo Shen mostly deals with Agronomy, Nutrient, Fertilizer, Soil acidification and Vicia faba. His research integrates issues of Rhizosphere, Competition and Plant physiology in his study of Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Rhizosphere brings together such families of science as Plant growth and Foraging.

His Fertilizer research includes elements of Soil pH and Manure. The various areas that Jianbo Shen examines in his Soil acidification study include Denitrification, Leaching and Topsoil. His Vicia faba research includes themes of Nutrient management, Zea mays, Root foraging and Seedling.
