Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Ralph E. J. Boerner is best known for:

Botany
Ecology
Bacteria

His work blends Agronomy and Animal science studies together. His work often combines Animal science and Agronomy studies. He carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Ecology and Agroforestry. In his work, Ralph E. J. Boerner performs multidisciplinary research in Agroforestry and Ecology. He integrates many fields, such as Soil water and Soil carbon, in his works. While working on this project, he studies both Soil carbon and Soil water. His study deals with a combination of Ecological succession and Chronosequence. Ralph E. J. Boerner connects Chronosequence with Ecological succession in his research. He connects Water content with Geotechnical engineering in his study.

His most cited work include:

Foliar Nutrient Dynamics and Nutrient Use Efficiency of Four Deciduous Tree Species in Relation to Site Fertility (187 citations)
Seasonal variations in enzyme activity and organic carbon in soil of a burned and unburned hardwood forest (160 citations)
Spatial patterns of mycorrhizal infectiveness of soils long a successional chronosequence (115 citations)

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

Leaching (pedology), Soil carbon and Mineralization (soil science) are the two main areas of interest in his Soil water studies. Ralph E. J. Boerner regularly ties together related areas like Soil water in his Leaching (pedology) studies. In the subject of Geotechnical engineering, he integrates adjacent academic fields such as Hydrology (agriculture) and Water content. His work on Geotechnical engineering expands to the thematically related Hydrology (agriculture). He performs integrative study on Water content and Soil science in his works. His Soil science study often links to related topics such as Soil carbon. His Nitrogen research spans across into subjects like Nitrification and Mineralization (soil science). In his works, Ralph E. J. Boerner conducts interdisciplinary research on Nitrification and Nitrogen. Ralph E. J. Boerner brings together Ecology and Spatial ecology to produce work in his papers.

Ralph E. J. Boerner most often published in these fields:

Ecology (79.17%)
Agronomy (45.83%)
Soil water (37.50%)
