Overview

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 water, Greenhouse gas, Agroforestry, Climate change and Biogeochemical cycle. He interconnects Agronomy and Water content in the investigation of issues within Soil water. His Greenhouse gas research integrates issues from Greenhouse effect, Natural resource economics and Deforestation.

His Deforestation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Peat, Physical geography and Fire ecology. His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agriculture, Subsistence agriculture, Tropics and Logging. His research integrates issues of Ecosystem and Nitrification in his study of Biogeochemical cycle.

His most cited work include:

  • Jatropha bio-diesel production and use (944 citations)
  • Effects of soil water content on soil respiration in forests and cattle pastures of eastern Amazonia (671 citations)
  • Testing a Conceptual Model of Soil Emissions of Nitrous and Nitric Oxides (636 citations)

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

Louis V. Verchot mostly deals with Agroforestry, Greenhouse gas, Land use, Peat and Climate change. His studies in Agroforestry integrate themes in fields like Biomass, Agriculture, Soil water and Sustainability. He focuses mostly in the field of Soil water, narrowing it down to topics relating to Environmental chemistry and, in certain cases, Nitrification.

His research investigates the connection with Greenhouse gas and areas like Deforestation which intersect with concerns in Remote sensing. Louis V. Verchot studies Land use, namely Land use, land-use change and forestry. His Peat research includes elements of Swamp, Tropics and Agronomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agroforestry (27.70%)
  • Greenhouse gas (28.64%)
  • Land use (20.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Greenhouse gas (28.64%)
  • Peat (24.41%)
  • Agronomy (18.78%)

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

Greenhouse gas, Peat, Agronomy, Land use and Agroforestry are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Swamp, Tropics and Ecosystem in addition to Peat. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water, Loam, Soil respiration and Arable land.

Louis V. Verchot interconnects Total organic carbon and Water content in the investigation of issues within Soil water. His Land use study incorporates themes from Eucalyptus, Deforestation, Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and Sustainable development. His research in Agroforestry tackles topics such as Land degradation which are related to areas like Clean Development Mechanism and Ecosystem management.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Sequestration Potential of Increased Organic Carbon in Cropland Soils (95 citations)
  • An expert system model for mapping tropical wetlands and peatlands reveals South America as the largest contributor (93 citations)
  • An expert system model for mapping tropical wetlands and peatlands reveals South America as the largest contributor (93 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Peat, Tropics, Greenhouse gas, Ecology and Climate change. His Tropics research incorporates themes from Swamp, Tropical peat, Ecosystem and Agroforestry. As a part of the same scientific study, Louis V. Verchot usually deals with the Agroforestry, concentrating on Soil respiration and frequently concerns with Land use, Grazing and Soil carbon.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Active fire, Nitrification and Evapotranspiration. His Biogeochemical cycle research extends to Climate change, which is thematically connected. His study looks at the relationship between Biogeochemical cycle and fields such as Common spatial pattern, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
