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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Irrigation

Leo Stroosnijder mainly focuses on Agronomy, Irrigation, Soil conservation, Hydrology and Rainwater harvesting. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Soil management, Soil water and Wet season. Leo Stroosnijder focuses mostly in the field of Irrigation, narrowing it down to matters related to Water resource management and, in some cases, Natural resource economics.

The Soil conservation study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Pennisetum, Sedimentation and Tiller. His Hydrology research is mostly focused on the topic Surface runoff. His Rainwater harvesting study also includes fields such as

  • Food security and related Agroforestry,
  • Rainfed agriculture which connect with Cropping system and Conservation agriculture.
