Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His main research concerns Water quality, Hydrology, Drainage basin, Interbasin transfer and Soil organic matter. His Water quality research is included under the broader classification of Ecology. His work on Water conservation as part of his general Hydrology study is frequently connected to Spatial variability, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Quanfa Zhang combines subjects such as Land cover, Land use, Trace element, Weathering and Spatial distribution with his study of Drainage basin. His study in Interbasin transfer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Heavy metals and Seasonality. The Soil organic matter study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Soil carbon and Agronomy.

His most cited work include:

  • Risk assessment and seasonal variations of dissolved trace elements and heavy metals in the Upper Han River, China. (228 citations)
  • Water quality in the upper Han River basin, China: the impacts of land use/land cover in riparian buffer zone (174 citations)
  • Water quality in relation to land use and land cover in the upper Han River Basin, China (173 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Ecology, Water quality, Agronomy and Drainage basin. His Hydrology research includes themes of Vegetation, Soil water, Riparian zone and Eutrophication. His Ecology research focuses on Abies fargesii and how it relates to Range and Montane ecology.

Quanfa Zhang interconnects Environmental engineering, Surface water, Land use, Interbasin transfer and Pollution in the investigation of issues within Water quality. As a part of the same scientific family, Quanfa Zhang mostly works in the field of Surface water, focusing on Dry season and, on occasion, Environmental chemistry. His research integrates issues of Soil organic matter, Afforestation, Nitrification and Mineralization in his study of Agronomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (30.19%)
  • Ecology (28.93%)
  • Water quality (21.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ecology (28.93%)
  • River ecosystem (3.14%)
  • Drainage basin (15.09%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, River ecosystem, Drainage basin, Nutrient and Community structure. In general Ecology study, his work on Riparian zone, Biomass and Soil properties often relates to the realm of World wide, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Drainage basin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Aquatic ecosystem, Nutrient pollution and Tributary.

His Isotope analysis research includes elements of Water quality and Pollution. His Flooding study is concerned with the larger field of Hydrology. His Hydrology research incorporates themes from Plant community and Revegetation.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Shifts in characteristics of the plant-soil system associated with flooding and revegetation in the riparian zone of Three Gorges Reservoir, China (9 citations)
  • Soil properties alter plant and microbial communities to modulate denitrification rates in subtropical riparian wetlands (6 citations)
  • Disparity in elevational shifts of upper species limits in response to recent climate warming in the Qinling Mountains, North-central China. (3 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Quanfa Zhang mainly investigates Ecology, Denitrification, Subtropics, Soil properties and Riparian wetland. His study in Ecology concentrates on Plant functional type, Vegetation, Global warming, Larch and Deciduous.
