Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

Intercropping, Agronomy, Interspecific competition, Phosphorus and Nutrient are his primary areas of study. His Intercropping research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Field experiment, Agroforestry, Agriculture, Vicia faba and Root barrier. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Ecology, No-till farming and Intensive farming.

His research investigates the connection between Interspecific competition and topics such as Biomass that intersect with problems in Human fertilization, Yield and Sowing. In his research on the topic of Phosphorus, Arachis hypogaea is strongly related with Plant physiology. His studies in Fertilizer integrate themes in fields like DNS root zone, Legume, Nitrogen fixation and Crop.

His most cited work include:

  • Diversity enhances agricultural productivity via rhizosphere phosphorus facilitation on phosphorus-deficient soils. (490 citations)
  • Using competitive and facilitative interactions in intercropping systems enhances crop productivity and nutrient-use efficiency (458 citations)
  • Improving intercropping: a synthesis of research in agronomy, plant physiology and ecology. (363 citations)

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

Long Li spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Intercropping, Vicia faba, Interspecific competition and Phosphorus. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nutrient and Plant physiology. His Intercropping study combines topics in areas such as Monoculture, Field experiment, Agriculture, Cropping system and Yield.

His research integrates issues of Nitrogen fixation, Rhizobia, Legume and Soil horizon in his study of Vicia faba. His Interspecific competition study incorporates themes from Biomass, Competition and Root growth. His Phosphorus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Zinc, Root length, Shoot biomass, Brassica and Root barrier.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (90.10%)
  • Intercropping (85.15%)
  • Vicia faba (37.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Intercropping (85.15%)
  • Agronomy (90.10%)
  • Biocompatibility (6.93%)

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

Long Li mainly investigates Intercropping, Agronomy, Biocompatibility, Biomedical engineering and PLGA. The Intercropping study which covers Agriculture that intersects with Agroforestry. His Plant physiology research extends to Agronomy, which is thematically connected.

His study explores the link between Biocompatibility and topics such as Bone regeneration that cross with problems in Chemical engineering, Piperazine and Extrusion. His work on Calvarial defect as part of general Biomedical engineering study is frequently linked to International standardization, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Scaffold and Magnesium.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Osteogenic magnesium incorporated into PLGA/TCP porous scaffold by 3D printing for repairing challenging bone defect. (92 citations)
  • Three-Dimensional Printing of Biodegradable Piperazine-Based Polyurethane-Urea Scaffolds with Enhanced Osteogenesis for Bone Regeneration (20 citations)
  • Designing intercrops for high yield, yield stability and efficient use of resources: Are there principles? (16 citations)
