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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Soil water, Dry matter, Hardpan and Root system. Many of his studies on Agronomy involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Animal science. His Dry matter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Water use, Agroforestry, Water deficit and Perennial plant.

In his work, Soil horizon, Soil classification, Subsoil, Quantitative trait locus and Doubled haploidy is strongly intertwined with Wax, which is a subfield of Hardpan. The Root system study which covers Water content that intersects with Crop, Cropping, Pasture and Drought resistance. Leonard Wade has researched Soil organic matter in several fields, including Soil carbon and Humus.

Between 2010 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Stable soil organic matter: A comparison of C:N:P:S ratios in Australian and other world soils (261 citations)
  • Carbon-nutrient stoichiometry to increase soil carbon sequestration (171 citations)
  • Nutrient availability limits carbon sequestration in arable soils (140 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Irrigation

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Phosphorus and Humus. His Agronomy and Germplasm and Grain quality investigations all form part of his Agronomy research activities. Phosphorus is integrated with Straw, Carbon sequestration, Arable land, Terrestrial ecosystem and Environmental chemistry in his study.

His Humus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil type, Soil carbon, Soil fertility, Crop residue and Animal science. His research on Soil carbon concerns the broader Soil science.
