In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Stefan Scheu mostly deals with Ecology, Ecosystem, Trophic level, Rainforest and Litter.
His research related to Predation, Abundance, Species richness, Decomposer and Grassland might be considered part of Ecology.
His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biodiversity, Beech, Fagus sylvatica, Biomass and Plant community.
His Trophic level research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil mesofauna, Ecological niche and Isotope analysis.
His studies deal with areas such as Microcosm and Plant litter as well as Litter.
His work in Agronomy addresses subjects such as Soil water, which are connected to disciplines such as Nitrification.
