Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Sustainability

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agriculture, Irrigation, Urban agriculture, Sanitation and Environmental protection. His studies in Agriculture integrate themes in fields like Agroforestry, Environmental engineering and Agricultural science. His Irrigation study incorporates themes from Waste management, Contamination and Toxicology.

His work carried out in the field of Sanitation brings together such families of science as Wastewater and Sewage treatment. His Wastewater research includes elements of Water resources, Water quality and Water resource management. His Water resource management research includes themes of Natural resource economics and Environmental quality.

His most cited work include:

  • The challenges of wastewater irrigation in developing countries (415 citations)
  • Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration (356 citations)
  • Farmer perceptions and pesticide use practices in vegetable production in Ghana. (237 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Wastewater, Agriculture, Irrigation, Sanitation and Environmental planning. Water quality and Water resources is closely connected to Water resource management in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Wastewater. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Agriculture, focusing on Agroforestry and, on occasion, Soil fertility.

Pay Drechsel has researched Irrigation in several fields, including Contamination, International development and Toxicology. His research in Sanitation intersects with topics in Reuse, Urbanization, Resource recovery, Water supply and Business model. His Environmental planning research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Risk management and Greywater.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Wastewater (33.60%)
  • Agriculture (31.20%)
  • Irrigation (24.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Sanitation (20.80%)
  • Resource recovery (5.20%)
  • Sewage treatment (12.80%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Sanitation, Resource recovery, Sewage treatment, Wastewater and Agriculture. His study in Sanitation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Business model, Waste disposal, Sewage sludge and Environmental planning. Pay Drechsel has researched Resource recovery in several fields, including Natural resource economics, Reuse and Environmental protection.

His Wastewater research includes elements of Agronomy, Irrigation, Toxicology and Eutrophication. His Irrigation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Water quality and Vegetable farming. Agriculture is frequently linked to Food chain in his study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Total Value of Phosphorus Recovery (226 citations)
  • A global, spatially-explicit assessment of irrigated croplands influenced by urban wastewater flows (65 citations)
  • Effects of biochar and alkaline amendments on cadmium immobilization, selected nutrient and cadmium concentrations of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in two contrasting soils (43 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Sustainability

His main research concerns Wastewater, Irrigation, Resource recovery, Sewage treatment and Food chain. The Wastewater study combines topics in areas such as Soil carbon, Fertigation, Fertilizer, Water content and Eutrophication. His research integrates issues of Water quality, Vegetable farming and Water resource management in his study of Irrigation.

His Resource recovery study incorporates themes from Sanitation, Natural resource economics, Waste treatment and Reuse. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Waste-to-energy, Green economy and Environmental protection. The various areas that Pay Drechsel examines in his Food chain study include Agricultural economics, Agriculture, Supply chain, Livestock and City region.
