  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Maria del Mar Alguacil mainly investigates Agronomy, Botany, Mycorrhiza, Soil fertility and Tillage. Her Agronomy research incorporates elements of Ecology and Revegetation. Maria del Mar Alguacil has included themes like Glomus, Biodiversity and Suaeda vera in her Botany study.

Her Glomus study incorporates themes from Stipa capensis, Perennial plant, Herbaceous plant and Hieracium. Many of her research projects under Soil fertility are closely connected to Environmental science with Environmental science, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. The Soil biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Soil type and Soil quality.

Her most cited work include:

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Agronomy, Mycorrhiza, Glomus and Inoculation. Her study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biodiversity and Horticulture. Her work on Tillage is typically connected to Environmental science as part of general Agronomy study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Her work on Rhamnus lycioides and Glomeromycota as part of general Mycorrhiza study is frequently connected to Sugar beet, Colonisation and Lactuca, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dorycnium pentaphyllum and Species diversity. Her research integrates issues of Juniperus oxycedrus and Nutrient in her study of Inoculation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (58.11%)

  • Botany (58.11%)
  • Agronomy (43.24%)

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

Maria del Mar Alguacil mainly focuses on Ecology, Botany, Agronomy, Community structure and Species richness. In general Ecology, her work in Soil microbiology, Ecosystem, Indicator species and Pennisetum setaceum is often linked to Microbial population biology linking many areas of study. Her Botany study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Aleppo Pine.

Many of her studies on Agronomy involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Mediterranean climate. Her Community structure study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Shoot, Inoculation, Revegetation and Fungus. Her Species richness research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Perennial plant, Facultative, Herbaceous plant, Soil respiration and Host.

Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project (84 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation mediated changes in rhizosphere bacterial community structure while promoting revegetation in a semiarid ecosystem. (37 citations)
  • Soil characteristics driving arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in semiarid Mediterranean soils (36 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Maria del Mar Alguacil focuses on Agronomy, Crop rotation, Soil biology, Soil type and Ecology. Her Agronomy research includes elements of Shrub, Inoculation, Community structure, Revegetation and Fungus. Her Crop rotation research integrates issues from Cover crop, Agroecosystem, Soil carbon and Soil health.

Her research on Agroecosystem often connects related topics like Intercropping. Her Soil biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil classification, Soil chemistry and Soil microbiology.
