Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium wilt, Botany, Agronomy and Rhizosphere. Ning Ling usually deals with Fusarium oxysporum and limits it to topics linked to Paenibacillus polymyxa and Spore, Germination and Citric acid. His Fusarium wilt research includes elements of Chlorosis and Bacillus subtilis.

His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Horticulture that intersect with issues in Stomatal conductance. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil acidification, Organic matter and Soil carbon. The various areas that Ning Ling examines in his Rhizosphere study include Oxalic acid, Biochemistry, Biological pest control and Malic acid.

His most cited work include:

  • Bacillus subtilis SQR 9 can control Fusarium wilt in cucumber by colonizing plant roots (177 citations)
  • Insight into how organic amendments can shape the soil microbiome in long-term field experiments as revealed by network analysis (100 citations)
  • Development of a mode of application of bioorganic fertilizer for improving the biocontrol efficacy to Fusarium wilt (98 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Soil water, Fusarium oxysporum, Botany and Rhizosphere. His Agronomy research includes themes of Soil carbon and Nutrient. His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry, Microbial population biology, Ecosystem and Human fertilization.

His research in Fusarium oxysporum is mostly focused on Fusarium wilt. His work is dedicated to discovering how Fusarium wilt, Fusarium are connected with Trichoderma and other disciplines. His Rhizosphere research incorporates themes from Rootstock, Biological pest control, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Paenibacillus polymyxa.

  • Ecology (21.21%)
  • Rhizosphere (23.23%)

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

Ning Ling mostly deals with Soil water, Ecology, Rhizosphere, Ecosystem and Agronomy. His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Ecological succession, Community diversity and Taxon. His studies deal with areas such as Computational biology and Community composition as well as Rhizosphere.

His Ecosystem research integrates issues from Soil test, Soil fertility and Community structure. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Salinity and Nutrient. His work in Relative species abundance covers topics such as Cultivar which are related to areas like Microbial population biology.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Soil fungal assemblage complexity is dependent on soil fertility and dominated by deterministic processes. (16 citations)
  • Soil fungal assemblage complexity is dependent on soil fertility and dominated by deterministic processes. (16 citations)
  • Critical transition of soil bacterial diversity and composition triggered by nitrogen enrichment (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecosystem, Soil water, Ecology, Organic matter and Agronomy. Ning Ling has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Relative species abundance, Soil test and Soil fertility. His study ties his expertise on Niche together with the subject of Soil water.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Agriculture, Soil quality, Organic fertilizer, Nutrient and Human fertilization in addition to Organic matter. In his study, Manure is inextricably linked to Abundance, which falls within the broad field of Agronomy. His research integrates issues of Botany, Cow dung and Microbial population biology in his study of Manure.
