Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

His primary areas of investigation include Manure, Agronomy, Agriculture, Sustainability and Food security. His Manure research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dairy cattle, Animal science and Serotype. He combines subjects such as Nutrient, Toxicology and Leaching with his study of Agronomy.

His Leaching research focuses on subjects like Greenhouse, which are linked to Nutrient management, Soil quality and Soil pH. His research in the fields of Agroecology, Arable land and Livelihood overlaps with other disciplines such as Productivity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil carbon, Environmental engineering and Greenhouse gas.

His most cited work include:

  • New technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissions from nitrogenous fertilizer in China (327 citations)
  • Changes in the soil environment from excessive application of fertilizers and manures to two contrasting intensive cropping systems on the North China Plain. (288 citations)
  • Pursuing sustainable productivity with millions of smallholder farmers. (244 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Manure, Agronomy, Nutrient, Animal science and Fertilizer. His studies deal with areas such as Environmental engineering, Dairy cattle, Microbiology, Water quality and Herd as well as Manure. Zhengxia Dou interconnects Soil water, Leaching and Soil conditioner in the investigation of issues within Agronomy.

In general Nutrient study, his work on Nutrient management and Eutrophication often relates to the realm of Coal combustion products, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Animal science research includes elements of Feces and Excretion. His study on Fertilizer also encompasses disciplines like

  • Dairy farming and Agriculture most often made with reference to Agricultural science,
  • Greenhouse gas which intersects with area such as Life-cycle assessment.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Manure (41.56%)
  • Agronomy (37.66%)
  • Nutrient (19.48%)

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

  • Crop (6.49%)
  • Agriculture (11.69%)
  • Agricultural science (9.09%)

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

Zhengxia Dou mainly focuses on Crop, Agriculture, Agricultural science, Systems management and Agronomy. His Crop study combines topics in areas such as Phosphorus supplement, Animal science and Pollution. His Agriculture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Reactive nitrogen, Fertilizer and Sustainability.

Zhengxia Dou has researched Fertilizer in several fields, including Cropping, Agricultural productivity and Leaching. His work deals with themes such as Food waste and Agroecology, which intersect with Agricultural science. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Food processing and Nitrification.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pursuing sustainable productivity with millions of smallholder farmers. (244 citations)
  • Enhanced-efficiency fertilizers are not a panacea for resolving the nitrogen problem. (68 citations)
  • Hyphospheric impacts of earthworms and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus on soil bacterial community to promote oxytetracycline degradation. (28 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

His primary scientific interests are in Agriculture, Livelihood, Mathematics, Agricultural productivity and Cropping. His Livelihood study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroecology, Agricultural science, Reactive nitrogen, Sustainability and Food security. As part of his studies on Agroecology, Zhengxia Dou often connects relevant areas like Arable land.

His Mathematics investigation overlaps with Agronomy, Leaching, Nitrification and Fertilizer.
