Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Shenglei Fu mainly focuses on Agronomy, Ecology, Soil water, Soil biology and Understory. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Agronomy and Biochar in his work. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Ecosystem, Introduced species, Biomass and Habitat, intersects with other areas such as Simulated data.

His Soil biology research includes themes of Soil organic matter, Soil health, Agroforestry and Microbial population biology. Shenglei Fu combines subjects such as Nutrient and Botany with his study of Soil organic matter. His research in Understory intersects with topics in Soil pH, Acacia mangium, Biota and Litter.

His most cited work include:

  • Use of phytoremediation and biochar to remediate heavy metal polluted soils: a review (240 citations)
  • Biological Indices for Soil Quality Evaluation: Perspectives and Limitations (157 citations)
  • Interactive effects of biochar and the earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus on plant productivity and soil enzyme activities (123 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Ecology, Understory, Soil water and Ecosystem. The various areas that he examines in his Agronomy study include Soil organic matter, Soil biodiversity, Soil carbon and Eucalyptus. His Soil organic matter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil biology, Soil pH and Soil fertility.

His study in Soil carbon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental chemistry, Carbon cycle and Soil respiration. His studies deal with areas such as Temperate forest, Forest management, Agroforestry and Litter as well as Understory. Shenglei Fu works mostly in the field of Soil water, limiting it down to topics relating to Subtropics and, in certain cases, Fern.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (72.83%)
  • Ecology (30.43%)
  • Understory (28.26%)

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

  • Agronomy (72.83%)
  • Understory (28.26%)
  • Canopy (10.87%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Understory, Canopy, Litter and Temperate forest. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Community structure, Terrestrial ecosystem and Plant litter. His research on Canopy also deals with topics like

  • Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, which have a strong connection to Soil carbon, Horticulture and Deposition,
  • Environmental chemistry that connect with fields like Soil pH and Soil acidification.

His work deals with themes such as Eucalyptus, Trophic level and Soil food web, which intersect with Litter. The concepts of his Earthworm study are interwoven with issues in Microcosm and Soil water. Ecosystem is the subject of his research, which falls under Ecology.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Forest canopy maintains the soil community composition under elevated nitrogen deposition (9 citations)
  • Forest canopy maintains the soil community composition under elevated nitrogen deposition (9 citations)
  • Leaf litter contributes more to soil organic carbon than fine roots in two 10-year-old subtropical plantations (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Shenglei Fu spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Litter, Plant litter, Monoculture and Biomass. Shenglei Fu has included themes like Canopy and Understory in his Agronomy study. His Understory research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Temperate forest, Temperate deciduous forest and Environmental chemistry.

His research investigates the connection between Litter and topics such as Soil carbon that intersect with problems in Detritus, Eucalyptus, Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, Acacia crassicarpa and Soil horizon. His Plant litter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil organic matter, Epigeal and Earthworm. His Biomass research incorporates themes from Soil biodiversity, Forest ecology, Terrestrial ecosystem and Tree canopy.
