2007 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Irrigation
  • Soil water
  • Surface runoff

Laj R. Ahuja spends much of his time researching Soil water, Hydrology, Cropping system, Soil science and Hydraulic conductivity. His Soil water study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Infiltration. As part of his studies on Hydrology, Laj R. Ahuja often connects relevant subjects like Tillage.

His Cropping system research is multidisciplinary, relying on both No-till farming, Surface runoff and Water-use efficiency. His No-till farming research integrates issues from Soil carbon and Soil quality. His Soil science research includes themes of Porosity and Spatial variability.

His most cited work include:

  • Macroporosity to Characterize Spatial Variability of Hydraulic Conductivity and Effects of Land Management (210 citations)
  • Surface Soil Physical Properties After Twelve Years of Dryland No-Till Management (173 citations)
  • Water resources and water use efficiency in the North China Plain: Current status and agronomic management options (148 citations)

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

Laj R. Ahuja focuses on Soil water, Hydrology, Soil science, Loam and Water content. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Water quality and Evapotranspiration. In general Hydrology study, his work on Surface runoff, DNS root zone and Watershed often relates to the realm of Latent heat, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His Soil science study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Infiltration and Porosity. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Loam, focusing on Leaching and, on occasion, Irrigation. Laj R. Ahuja has included themes like Soil classification and Leaching model in his Water content study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (42.86%)
  • Hydrology (38.78%)
  • Soil science (29.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2017)?

  • Soil water (42.86%)
  • Evapotranspiration (12.24%)
  • Irrigation (12.24%)

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

Soil water, Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, Crop and Cropping system are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of No-till farming overlaps with other areas such as Nitrous oxide. His research integrates issues of Water conservation and Regression in his study of Evapotranspiration.

His Irrigation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Leaching model and Leaching. His work on DSSAT as part of general Crop research is frequently linked to Co2 concentration and Yield, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study in Cropping system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrology, Agricultural engineering, Agricultural productivity and Transport engineering.

Between 2012 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • A software engineering perspective on environmental modeling framework design (124 citations)
  • Modeling evapotranspiration and energy balance in a wheat-maize cropping system using the revised RZ-SHAW model (29 citations)
  • Enhancing the Water Stress Factors for Simulation of Corn in RZWQM2 (28 citations)

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

  • Irrigation
  • Soil water
  • Surface runoff

Laj R. Ahuja mostly deals with Soil water, Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, Cropping system and Water stress. His work on DayCent as part of general Soil water study is frequently linked to Nitrous oxide, bridging the gap between disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Infiltration, No-till farming, Sorptivity and Surface runoff in addition to Evapotranspiration.

His work on Irrigation management and DSSAT is typically connected to Deficit irrigation as part of general Irrigation study, connecting several disciplines of science. The concepts of his Cropping system study are interwoven with issues in Sensible heat, Growing season, Crop yield, Loam and Soil horizon. His Water stress investigation overlaps with other disciplines such as Permission and Information storage.
