What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Ecosystem
His scientific interests lie mostly in Soil biology, Ecology, Agronomy, Soil ecology and Mineralization.
His study in Soil biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroforestry, Soil type, Soil organic matter, Soil biodiversity and Soil structure.
His Straw, Leucaena, Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Stover, bridging the gap between disciplines.
As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Soil ecology, concentrating on Tropics and frequently concerns with Animal ecology, Agroecosystem and Crop.
His Mineralization study combines topics in areas such as Organic matter, Loam, Nitrogen cycle and Incubation.
His Soil health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental resource management, Soil functions and Ecosystem services.
His most cited work include:
- Soil biodiversity for agricultural sustainability (547 citations)
- Biological effects of plant residues with contrasting chemical compositions under humid tropical conditions-decomposition and nutrient release (495 citations)
- A review of earthworm impact on soil function and ecosystem services (490 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Lijbert Brussaard focuses on Agronomy, Soil biology, Ecology, Soil organic matter and Agroforestry.
His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil structure, Soil management, Soil water and Organic matter.
The Soil biology study combines topics in areas such as Soil type, Soil biodiversity, Soil fertility, Soil ecology and Mineralization.
The concepts of his Agroforestry study are interwoven with issues in No-till farming and Agriculture, Arable land.
His research investigates the connection between Biodiversity and topics such as Environmental resource management that intersect with issues in Sustainability.
He combines subjects such as Sustainable agriculture and Land use with his study of Ecosystem services.
He most often published in these fields:
- Agronomy (44.66%)
- Soil biology (35.92%)
- Ecology (24.76%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Agronomy (44.66%)
- Soil quality (14.56%)
- Organic matter (13.11%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil quality, Organic matter, Soil management and Soil water.
His research integrates issues of Soil biology, Mineralization, Soil organic matter, Crop residue and Topsoil in his study of Agronomy.
His Soil biology study is concerned with Ecology in general.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil type, Soil respiration, Organic farming and Soil functions in addition to Soil quality.
His work carried out in the field of Organic matter brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry and Tillage.
His research in Soil water focuses on subjects like Grassland, which are connected to Lolium perenne and Soil carbon.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Soil quality – A critical review (485 citations)
- Effects of agricultural management practices on soil quality: A review of long-term experiments for Europe and China (86 citations)
- Sensitivity of labile carbon fractions to tillage and organic matter management and their potential as comprehensive soil quality indicators across pedoclimatic conditions in Europe (65 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Ecosystem
Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Soil quality, Organic matter and Soil management are his primary areas of study.
His work in Agronomy addresses issues such as Soil type, which are connected to fields such as Manure, Dry matter, Mineralization, Soil classification and Decomposer.
His work focuses on many connections between Soil quality and other disciplines, such as Soil functions, that overlap with his field of interest in Species richness.
Lijbert Brussaard has researched Organic matter in several fields, including Soil respiration, Soil structure, Organic farming, Environmental chemistry and Cation-exchange capacity.
Lijbert Brussaard works mostly in the field of Soil water, limiting it down to concerns involving Compost and, occasionally, Soil health.
Particularly relevant to Soil biology is his body of work in Ecology.
