What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Xiaoli Cheng mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Ecosystem, Ecology and Spartina alterniflora.
Xiaoli Cheng usually deals with Agronomy and limits it to topics linked to Soil carbon and Agricultural land, Mineralization and Carbon sequestration.
Xiaoli Cheng works in the field of Ecosystem, focusing on Carbon cycle in particular.
His study in Carbon cycle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Global warming and Nutrient cycle, Nutrient.
His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Drainage basin and Surface water.
His work deals with themes such as Estuary, Salt marsh and Phragmites, which intersect with Spartina alterniflora.
His most cited work include:
- Microbial mediation of carbon-cycle feedbacks to climate warming (306 citations)
- Microbial mediation of carbon-cycle feedbacks to climate warming (306 citations)
- Spartina alterniflora invasions in the Yangtze River estuary, China: An overview of current status and ecosystem effects (277 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Xiaoli Cheng spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Ecology, Ecosystem, Soil carbon and Soil organic matter.
The Global warming, Climate change and Biodiversity research Xiaoli Cheng does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cycling, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His Climate change research incorporates elements of Nutrient cycle and Nutrient.
Xiaoli Cheng combines subjects such as Biomass and Botany with his study of Ecosystem.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental chemistry, Afforestation, Riparian zone and Carbon sequestration.
The various areas that he examines in his Soil organic matter study include Spartina alterniflora and No-till farming, Soil fertility.
He most often published in these fields:
- Agronomy (44.21%)
- Ecology (51.58%)
- Ecosystem (54.74%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Ecosystem (54.74%)
- Riparian zone (15.79%)
- Soil carbon (40.00%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Ecosystem, Riparian zone, Soil carbon, Environmental chemistry and Revegetation.
He has included themes like Photosynthesis and Dry season in his Ecosystem study.
His studies in Soil carbon integrate themes in fields like Atmospheric sciences and Biome.
His Environmental chemistry research integrates issues from Carbon cycle, Tributary and Respiration.
As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Revegetation, focusing on Agronomy and, on occasion, Flooding, Plant community, Soil organic matter, Cation-exchange capacity and Water content.
His Plant litter research entails a greater understanding of Ecology.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Leaf litter traits predominantly control litter decomposition in streams worldwide (22 citations)
- Anti-seasonal submergence dominates the structure and composition of prokaryotic communities in the riparian zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China (6 citations)
- Anti-seasonal submergence dominates the structure and composition of prokaryotic communities in the riparian zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China (6 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
His primary scientific interests are in Soil horizon, Community structure, Revegetation, Topsoil and Soil pH.
His Soil horizon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biomass, Agronomy, Deposition, Canopy and Ecosystem.
His research on Community structure often connects related areas such as Soil biology.
His Revegetation research includes themes of Hydrology, Riparian zone, Vegetation type and Alpha diversity.
