Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Agriculture, Crop yield, Crop and Canopy. When carried out as part of a general Agronomy research project, his work on Growing season, Fertilizer and Water-use efficiency is frequently linked to work in Manganese, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Agriculture study incorporates themes from Sustainability and Agricultural economics.

In his study, Agricultural engineering and Agricultural productivity is strongly linked to Agroforestry, which falls under the umbrella field of Crop yield. His work deals with themes such as Enhanced vegetation index and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, which intersect with Crop. His Canopy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hyperspectral imaging and Vegetation.

His most cited work include:

  • Reducing environmental risk by improving N management in intensive Chinese agricultural systems (1458 citations)
  • Phosphorus Dynamics: From Soil to Plant (674 citations)
  • Producing more grain with lower environmental costs (667 citations)

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

Agronomy, Fertilizer, Agriculture, Crop and Field experiment are his primary areas of study. Agronomy is represented through his Crop yield, Grain yield, Human fertilization, Growing season and Yield research. His Fertilizer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sowing, Life-cycle assessment and Nutrient management, Nutrient, Eutrophication.

The Food security and Intensive farming research Xinping Chen does as part of his general Agriculture study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Business, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Crop study combines topics in areas such as Nitrogen management, Yield and Vegetation. The concepts of his Field experiment study are interwoven with issues in Biomass and Animal science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (75.31%)
  • Fertilizer (22.22%)
  • Agriculture (18.52%)

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

  • Agronomy (75.31%)
  • Fertilizer (22.22%)
  • Field experiment (14.40%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Fertilizer, Field experiment, Agriculture and Animal science. Agronomy and Microbial population biology are two areas of study in which Xinping Chen engages in interdisciplinary work. His Fertilizer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Grain quality, Toxicology, Biofortification, Eutrophication and Human fertilization.

His Field experiment study also includes

  • Biomass which intersects with area such as Hybrid, Grain yield, Dry matter and Photosynthesis,
  • Sowing which connect with Ammonia volatilization from urea and Ecosystem,
  • Pepper together with Vitamin C and Soil management. He has researched Agriculture in several fields, including Agricultural science, Resource, Crop and Water resource management. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Reactive nitrogen, Crop yield and Yield.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Health risk assessment associated with heavy metal accumulation in wheat after long-term phosphorus fertilizer application. (13 citations)
  • Health risk assessment of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb, As and Cr) in wheat grain receiving repeated Zn fertilizers. (13 citations)
  • Strategies to reduce nutrient pollution from manure management in China (12 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Xinping Chen focuses on Agronomy, Fertilizer, Animal science, Field experiment and Biomass. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Production system and Soil quality. His studies deal with areas such as Pollen, Shoot, Horticulture, Greenhouse gas and Biofortification as well as Fertilizer.

The Animal science study combines topics in areas such as Straw and Topsoil. His research integrates issues of Greenhouse, Sowing, Life-cycle assessment, Nutrient management and Pepper in his study of Field experiment. His studies in Biomass integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis, Grain yield, Hybrid and Dry matter.
