Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

Zhenling Cui spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Agriculture, Crop yield, Crop and Fertilizer. While the research belongs to areas of Agronomy, Zhenling Cui spends his time largely on the problem of Nitrogen management, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Grain yield. His Agriculture research incorporates elements of Sustainability, Greenhouse gas and Yield.

Zhenling Cui studied Crop yield and Agroforestry that intersect with Agricultural engineering and Agricultural productivity. His Food security research includes themes of Cropping and Reactive nitrogen. Zhenling Cui has researched Reactive nitrogen in several fields, including Aquatic ecosystem, Ecosystem and Nitrogen cycle.

His most cited work include:

  • Reducing environmental risk by improving N management in intensive Chinese agricultural systems (1458 citations)
  • Enhanced nitrogen deposition over China (1269 citations)
  • Producing more grain with lower environmental costs (667 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Agriculture, Fertilizer, Crop and Crop yield. His work deals with themes such as Sustainability and Greenhouse gas, which intersect with Agriculture. Zhenling Cui interconnects Reactive nitrogen and Irrigation in the investigation of issues within Greenhouse gas.

His Fertilizer research integrates issues from Nutrient, Leaching, Manure and Sowing. He combines subjects such as Cropping, Yield, Intensive farming and Growing season with his study of Crop. His Crop yield research includes elements of Agroforestry, Poaceae and Plant nutrition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (70.62%)
  • Agriculture (25.00%)
  • Fertilizer (23.13%)

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

  • Agronomy (70.62%)
  • Agriculture (25.00%)
  • Manure (5.00%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Agriculture, Manure, Fertilizer and Soil carbon. His work on Straw as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Microbial population biology, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. In general Agriculture study, his work on Food security and Agricultural productivity often relates to the realm of Business and Food processing, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His research investigates the connection between Manure and topics such as Soil fertility that intersect with issues in Crop residue, Agroecosystem and Pollution. His research integrates issues of Yield, Nutrient and Animal science in his study of Fertilizer. His study looks at the intersection of Agricultural science and topics like Sustainability with Environmental engineering, Intensive farming, Soil water and Irrigation.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Managing irrigation water for sustainable rice production in China (12 citations)
  • Agriculture Green Development: a model for China and the world (10 citations)
  • Air quality, nitrogen use efficiency and food security in China are improved by cost-effective agricultural nitrogen management (6 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

Zhenling Cui mainly focuses on Agriculture, Agricultural productivity, Food processing, Sustainability and Manure. His work on Food security as part of general Agriculture study is frequently linked to Business and Natural resource economics, bridging the gap between disciplines. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Manure management, Greenhouse gas and Renewable energy.

His studies deal with areas such as Environmental engineering, Intensive farming, Irrigation, Soil water and Water resources as well as Sustainability. The subject of his Manure research is within the realm of Agronomy. His studies link Nutrient with Agronomy.
