Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Karl Ritz spends much of his time researching Ecology, Soil water, Soil structure, Microbial population biology and Soil science. His Soil microbiology study in the realm of Soil water interacts with subjects such as Geostatistics. His work carried out in the field of Soil structure brings together such families of science as Soil biology and Soil ecology.

His research in Microbial population biology intersects with topics in Succinic acid, Agronomy, Botany and Water content. Karl Ritz has included themes like Rhizoctonia solani, Rhizoctonia, Mycelium and Hypha in his Soil science study. His Community structure study incorporates themes from Biomass and Grassland.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecosystem response of pasture soil communities to fumigation-induced microbial diversity reductions: an examination of the biodiversity-ecosystem function relationship (498 citations)
  • Soil health in agricultural systems (456 citations)
  • Soil microbial community structure: Effects of substrate loading rates (430 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Soil water, Ecology, Agronomy, Microbial population biology and Botany. His research investigates the connection with Soil water and areas like Environmental chemistry which intersect with concerns in Carbon dioxide. His research in Community structure, Ecosystem, Soil biology, Nutrient cycle and Biodiversity are components of Ecology.

His research in Agronomy tackles topics such as Soil organic matter which are related to areas like Soil fertility. His study looks at the relationship between Microbial population biology and fields such as Microcosm, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Soil structure research integrates issues from Mineralogy and Bulk density.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (35.86%)
  • Ecology (31.22%)
  • Agronomy (25.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (25.32%)
  • Ecosystem (11.39%)
  • Soil water (35.86%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Ecosystem, Soil water, Soil structure and Soil biology. His studies deal with areas such as Biodiversity, Bulk density and Rhizosphere as well as Agronomy. His Ecosystem study contributes to a more complete understanding of Ecology.

He has researched Soil water in several fields, including Paddy field, Straw and Land use. His Soil structure study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil quality and Arable land. The concepts of his Soil biology study are interwoven with issues in Nematode and DNA sequencing.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Shaping 3D Root System Architecture (71 citations)
  • Soil seal development under simulated rainfall: Structural, physical and hydrological dynamics. (33 citations)
  • Soil seal development under simulated rainfall: Structural, physical and hydrological dynamics. (33 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Karl Ritz mostly deals with Ecosystem, Agronomy, Soil water, Soil science and Arable land. The subject of his Ecosystem research is within the realm of Ecology. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil biology, Bulk density and Botany.

His biological study focuses on Loam. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology, Infiltration and Microcosm. As a member of one scientific family, Karl Ritz mostly works in the field of Grassland, focusing on Texture and, on occasion, Soil structure.
