Pedro A. Sanchez

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Biodiversity

His primary areas of study are Agroforestry, Agriculture, Soil fertility, Natural resource economics and Soil management. The Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Fertilizer and Land use. He has included themes like Biomass, Soil governance, Food processing and Tithonia in his Agriculture study.

His studies deal with areas such as Natural resource and Environmental degradation as well as Soil fertility. His Natural resource economics study combines topics in areas such as Developing country, Nutrient management, Climate change and Environmental quality. His work deals with themes such as Soil organic matter, Biodiversity, Oxisol and Environmental planning, which intersect with Soil management.

His most cited work include:

• Properties and management of soils in the tropics. (1134 citations)
• Soil Fertility and Hunger in Africa (853 citations)
• Nutrient Imbalances in agricultural development (830 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agroforestry, Agronomy, Agriculture, Soil water and Soil fertility. His Agroforestry research includes elements of Soil management, Forestry, Tropics and Shifting cultivation. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Ultisol and Nutrient.

His Agriculture research integrates issues from Natural resource economics, Sustainability and Land use. The various areas that Pedro A. Sanchez examines in his Sustainability study include Productivity, Environmental resource management and Environmental planning. Pedro A. Sanchez works mostly in the field of Soil fertility, limiting it down to topics relating to Soil organic matter and, in certain cases, Intercropping.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agroforestry (45.10%)
• Agronomy (24.51%)
• Agriculture (23.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

• Agroforestry (45.10%)
• Soil water (20.59%)
• Tropics (17.65%)

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

Pedro A. Sanchez focuses on Agroforestry, Soil water, Tropics, Agronomy and Soil fertility. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tropical deforestation, Amazon basin, Slash-and-burn and Crop production. His Slash-and-burn research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agricultural productivity, Green Revolution and Greenhouse gas.

His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Legume and Livestock, Forestry, Pasture. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Soil management and High phosphorus. Pedro A. Sanchez interconnects Natural resource and Cation-exchange capacity in the investigation of issues within Soil fertility.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Soil Fertility Replenishment in Africa: An Investment in Natural Resource Capital (638 citations)
• Management Considerations for Acid Soils with High Phosphorus Fixation Capacity (187 citations)
• The State of Soil Degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa: Baselines, Trajectories, and Solutions (108 citations)

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

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Biodiversity

Pedro A. Sanchez mainly investigates Environmental protection, Natural resource economics, Soil fertility, Agriculture and No-till farming. The Environmental protection study combines topics in areas such as Soil science, Soil carbon, Soil health, Soil resilience and Soil retrogression and degradation. His Natural resource economics research includes themes of Natural resource and Crop productivity.

His study in Soil fertility focuses on Soil functions in particular. Pedro A. Sanchez combines subjects such as Food processing and Convergence with his study of Agriculture. As part of his studies on No-till farming, Pedro A. Sanchez frequently links adjacent subjects like Climate change mitigation.
