  • Increasing Cropping System Diversity Balances Productivity, Profitability and Environmental Health (296 citations)

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

Matt Liebman mainly focuses on Agronomy, Weed, Agroforestry, Weed control and Crop rotation. His study in Cropping system, Sowing, Crop, Green manure and Manure are all subfields of Agronomy. In the subject of general Weed, his work in Setaria faberi is often linked to Seed predation, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Agroforestry research includes elements of Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, Cropping, Agriculture and Crop yield. Matt Liebman has researched Weed control in several fields, including Soil management, Intercropping and Soil quality. Crop rotation and Cover crop are commonly linked in his work.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (55.67%)
  • Weed (28.87%)
  • Agroforestry (27.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Agronomy (55.67%)
  • Cropping system (15.98%)
  • Crop (11.34%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Cropping system, Crop, Sowing and Weed. In most of his Agronomy studies, his work intersects topics such as Soil carbon. His Cropping system research incorporates themes from Cropping, Red Clover, Erosion and Manure.

His work deals with themes such as Cover crop and Agricultural engineering, which intersect with Crop. Matt Liebman interconnects Ecology, Agroecology and Transdisciplinarity in the investigation of issues within Weed. His Crop rotation research incorporates elements of Leaching, Species richness, Surface runoff, Water resources and Weed control.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Maize and soybean root front velocity and maximum depth in Iowa, USA (36 citations)
  • Does diversifying crop rotations suppress weeds? A meta-analysis. (28 citations)
  • Reviewing research priorities in weed ecology, evolution and management: a horizon scan (28 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Crop, Cropping system, Water table and Crop rotation. He studies Crop yield, a branch of Agronomy. His study in Cropping system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil carbon, Erosion, Water content and Nutrient, Eutrophication.

In his study, Weed is strongly linked to Weed control, which falls under the umbrella field of Crop rotation. His work deals with themes such as Agroecology and Transdisciplinarity, which intersect with Weed. His work in Cropping covers topics such as Ecosystem services which are related to areas like Agriculture and Ecology.
