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

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Water-use efficiency, Agronomy, Irrigation, Evapotranspiration and Soil water. As part of his studies on Water-use efficiency, Nader Katerji frequently links adjacent subjects like Penman–Monteith equation. His Evapotranspiration study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Canopy.

Nader Katerji interconnects Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology, Water balance, Biomass and Crop coefficient in the investigation of issues within Canopy. As a member of one scientific family, Nader Katerji mostly works in the field of Soil water, focusing on Crop yield and, on occasion, Salinity, Soil salinity, Straw, Poaceae and Hordeum vulgare.
