Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Stephen C. Hart mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Nitrogen cycle, Soil water and Biogeochemical cycle. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Incubation and Microbial population biology. His Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Botany, Nutrient and Litter.

His Nitrogen cycle research integrates issues from Nitrification, Mineralization, Forest ecology, Environmental chemistry and Soil microbiology. Stephen C. Hart combines subjects such as Soil organic matter, Soil biology and Agronomy with his study of Soil microbiology. His Biogeochemical cycle study also includes fields such as

  • Cycling together with Soil ecology,
  • Biogeochemistry that intertwine with fields like Aquatic environment, Terrestrial ecosystem and Earth science.

His most cited work include:

  • Biogeochemical Hot Spots and Hot Moments at the Interface of Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems (1610 citations)
  • A framework for community and ecosystem genetics: from genes to ecosystems (836 citations)
  • Global-Scale Similarities in Nitrogen Release Patterns During Long-Term Decomposition (833 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Ecosystem, Soil water, Agronomy and Nitrogen cycle. His study in Plant litter, Terrestrial ecosystem, Biomass, Litter and Forest floor falls under the purview of Ecology. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nutrient, Biogeochemical cycle, Herbivore and Microbial population biology.

His research investigates the connection with Soil water and areas like Environmental chemistry which intersect with concerns in Biomass. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil fertility, Vegetation, Botany, Thinning and Cycling. In Nitrogen cycle, he works on issues like Mineralization, which are connected to Nitrification.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (50.23%)
  • Ecosystem (37.67%)
  • Soil water (36.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (50.23%)
  • Soil water (36.74%)
  • Terrestrial ecosystem (8.84%)

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

Stephen C. Hart focuses on Ecology, Soil water, Terrestrial ecosystem, Ecosystem and Environmental chemistry. The various areas that Stephen C. Hart examines in his Ecology study include Microbial ecology and Pinus lambertiana. Stephen C. Hart has included themes like Nutrient management and Climate change in his Soil water study.

His Ecosystem study incorporates themes from Soil carbon, Biodiversity, Atmospheric sciences, Biogeochemical cycle and Dry season. His Microbial population biology research includes elements of Agronomy and Mineralization. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biogeochemistry, Forest ecology is strongly linked to Nitrogen cycle.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nitrogen Mineralization, Immobilization, and Nitrification (739 citations)
  • Multiple elements of soil biodiversity drive ecosystem functions across biomes. (58 citations)
  • Changes in belowground biodiversity during ecosystem development. (52 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Soil water, Terrestrial ecosystem, Nitrogen cycle and Environmental chemistry. His work on Microbial ecology expands to the thematically related Ecology. His study on Soil horizon and Soil test is often connected to Dissolution as part of broader study in Soil water.

The concepts of his Nitrogen cycle study are interwoven with issues in Soil carbon and Mineralization. His Mineralization research includes themes of Nitrification, Agronomy and Microbial population biology. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Soil biodiversity and Biodiversity.
