Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Biochar, Agronomy, Soil quality, Environmental remediation and Soil organic matter. His studies deal with areas such as Agroforestry, Soil water, Soil fertility and Manure as well as Biochar. His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry and Mining engineering.

The concepts of his Environmental remediation study are interwoven with issues in Soil contamination and Phytoremediation. His Phytoremediation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil pH and Soil respiration. Jorge Paz-Ferreiro studied Soil organic matter and Soil biology that intersect with Productivity, Soil classification and Earthworm.

His most cited work include:

  • Biochar’s effect on crop productivity and the dependence on experimental conditions—a meta-analysis of literature data (362 citations)
  • Biochar’s effect on crop productivity and the dependence on experimental conditions—a meta-analysis of literature data (362 citations)
  • Biochar’s effect on crop productivity and the dependence on experimental conditions—a meta-analysis of literature data (362 citations)

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

Jorge Paz-Ferreiro mostly deals with Biochar, Agronomy, Soil water, Environmental chemistry and Soil science. Jorge Paz-Ferreiro performs multidisciplinary study in Biochar and Amendment in his work. His research integrates issues of Soil organic matter, Soil biodiversity, Soil quality and Soil management in his study of Agronomy.

His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Organic matter and Specific surface area. His study in the field of Soil classification and Oxisol is also linked to topics like Multifractal system. Jorge Paz-Ferreiro combines subjects such as Agriculture and Soil carbon with his study of Soil fertility.

  • Pyrolysis (16.57%)
  • Environmental chemistry (18.34%)

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

His main research concerns Biochar, Pyrolysis, Environmental chemistry, Biosolids and Biomass. In his work, Jorge Paz-Ferreiro performs multidisciplinary research in Biochar and Amendment. His work on Char as part of general Pyrolysis study is frequently linked to Oxide, Contaminated water and Solid fraction, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

The various areas that he examines in his Environmental chemistry study include Sorption, Soil water, Contamination, Sorbent and Biodegradable waste. His work deals with themes such as Phytotoxicity, Raw material and Carbonization, Hydrothermal carbonization, which intersect with Biomass. His work in Soil quality addresses subjects such as Soil fertility, which are connected to disciplines such as Soil biology and Nutrient.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Use of magnetic biochars for the immobilization of heavy metals in a multi-contaminated soil (68 citations)
  • Biochars and hydrochars prepared by pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation of pig manure (66 citations)
  • Progress on the pre-treatment of lignocellulosic biomass employing ionic liquids (56 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochar, Pyrolysis, Environmental chemistry, Biomass and Soil water.
