  • 2011 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Ecology, Soil water, Microbial population biology and Agriculture. Her Agronomy research includes themes of No-till farming, Soil carbon and Botany. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, her work on Nitrate, Soil biology and Grassland is frequently linked to work in Ammonium, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Her Soil water research focuses on Organic matter and how it connects with Entisol and Dissolved organic carbon. Her Agriculture research integrates issues from Environmental resource management and Ecosystem services. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cover crop and Manure.

Her most cited work include:

  • Global food security, biodiversity conservation and the future of agricultural intensification (1043 citations)
  • Climate-smart agriculture for food security (547 citations)
  • Utilizing and conserving agrobiodiversity in agricultural landscapes (366 citations)

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

Louise E. Jackson focuses on Agronomy, Ecology, Soil water, Agriculture and Tillage. Her Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil organic matter, Soil carbon, Soil biology and Nutrient. Louise E. Jackson works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to topics relating to Nitrogen cycle and, in certain cases, Nitrification and Cycling, as a part of the same area of interest.

The Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Shoot and Botany. Her research integrates issues of Agroforestry, Land use, Environmental resource management and Ecosystem services in her study of Agriculture. Her work deals with themes such as No-till farming, Soil quality and Soil horizon, which intersect with Tillage.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (45.16%)
  • Ecology (20.65%)
  • Soil water (21.94%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2019)?

  • Agronomy (45.16%)
  • Agriculture (20.00%)
  • Soil carbon (12.26%)

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

Louise E. Jackson spends much of her time researching Agronomy, Agriculture, Soil carbon, Tillage and Soil organic matter. Her studies deal with areas such as Stomatal conductance, Soil water, Nutrient and Cycling as well as Agronomy. In general Agriculture, her work in Food security is often linked to Business and Critical appraisal linking many areas of study.

Louise E. Jackson has included themes like Soil biodiversity, Soil ecology and Soil biology in her Soil carbon study. As a member of one scientific family, Louise E. Jackson mostly works in the field of Tillage, focusing on Agroforestry and, on occasion, Ecosystem services, Environmental resource management and Sustainable management. Her Soil organic matter research is classified as research in Ecology.

Between 2012 and 2019, her most popular works were:

  • Climate-smart agriculture for food security (547 citations)
  • Soil enzyme activities, microbial communities, and carbon and nitrogen availability in organic agroecosystems across an intensively-managed agricultural landscape (310 citations)
  • Climate-smart agriculture global research agenda: scientific basis for action (105 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil organic matter, Soil water and Nutrient are her primary areas of study. Her study in Conventional tillage and Tillage is carried out as part of her studies in Agronomy. Her Soil carbon study combines topics in areas such as Soil biodiversity and Soil ecology.

Her Soil organic matter study is focused on Ecology in general. Her Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microcosm, Ecosystem, Shoot and Interception. Her Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stomatal conductance and Water content.
