In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Louis W. Dekker focuses on Soil water, Water content, Hydrology, Soil science and Field capacity.
Louis W. Dekker combines subjects such as Moisture and Infiltration with his study of Soil water.
His work carried out in the field of Infiltration brings together such families of science as Rainwater harvesting, Water table, Groundwater and Irrigation.
Water content is closely attributed to Computer graphics in his work.
His research in Soil science focuses on subjects like Organic matter, which are connected to Hydraulic conductivity, Soil physics, Pedotransfer function, Soil texture and Soil organic matter.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Field capacity, Water retention curve is strongly linked to Transect.
Between 2008 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Methods for determining soil water repellency on field‐moist samples (56 citations)
- Natural and Fire‐Induced Soil Water Repellency in a Portuguese Shrubland (39 citations)
- The effect of soil texture and organic amendment on the hydrological behaviour of coarse-textured soils (33 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Soil water
