Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Nitrogen

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Nitrogen, Crop residue, Agronomy, Mineralization and Nitrogen cycle. In her study, Cycling and Nutrient is strongly linked to Environmental chemistry, which falls under the umbrella field of Nitrogen. Her Crop residue research incorporates themes from Carbon sequestration, No-till farming and Waste disposal.

The various areas that she examines in her Agronomy study include Soil management and Nitrate. Her Mineralization study deals with the bigger picture of Soil water. Her research integrates issues of Soil organic matter, Analytical chemistry, Humus and Chemical composition in her study of Nitrogen cycle.

Her most cited work include:

  • STICS : a generic model for the simulation of crops and their water and nitrogen balances. I. Theory, and parameterization applied to wheat and corn (584 citations)
  • Biochemical quality of crop residues and carbon and nitrogen mineralization kinetics under nonlimiting nitrogen conditions (406 citations)
  • Interactions between decomposition of plant residues and nitrogen cycling in soil (337 citations)

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

Sylvie Recous spends much of her time researching Agronomy, Crop residue, Soil water, Mineralization and Nitrogen. Her study connects Soil organic matter and Agronomy. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Moisture and Dry matter.

The concepts of her Soil water study are interwoven with issues in Poaceae and Sulfur. Her studies in Mineralization integrate themes in fields like Organic matter, Chemical composition, Nitrogen cycle, Environmental chemistry and Straw. She focuses mostly in the field of Nitrogen, narrowing it down to matters related to Carbon and, in some cases, Decomposition.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (56.89%)
  • Crop residue (32.34%)
  • Soil water (35.33%)

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

  • Agronomy (56.89%)
  • Crop residue (32.34%)
  • Mulch (13.17%)

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

Sylvie Recous mostly deals with Agronomy, Crop residue, Mulch, Nitrogen and Soil water. Her Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Nitrous oxide, Soil management and Greenhouse gas. Her Crop residue study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Urea and Leaching.

Her research integrates issues of Soil carbon, Dry matter, Glyphosate, Carbon dioxide and Straw in her study of Mulch. Her Straw research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental chemistry and Field experiment. Her studies deal with areas such as Slurry, Carbon and Fertilizer as well as Nitrogen.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Assessing uncertainties in crop and pasture ensemble model simulations of productivity and N2O emissions (63 citations)
  • High carbon use efficiency and low priming effect promote soil C stabilization under reduced tillage (25 citations)
  • The use of biogeochemical models to evaluate mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from managed grasslands. (20 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Sylvie Recous mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil fertility, Soil water, Tillage and Soil organic matter. Her research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Urea and Greenhouse gas. Her work on Climate change mitigation as part of general Greenhouse gas study is frequently linked to Atmospheric sciences, bridging the gap between disciplines.

The various areas that Sylvie Recous examines in her Soil fertility study include Plough, Soil test, Litter, Soil management and Loam. She interconnects Cover crop, Biomass, Topsoil and Sowing in the investigation of issues within Soil organic matter. The concepts of her Grassland study are interwoven with issues in Primary production, Ecosystem, Biogeochemical cycle, Cycling and Arid.
