  • Cadmium (31.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Cadmium (31.71%)
  • Botany (54.88%)
  • Shoot (25.61%)

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

His primary areas of study are Cadmium, Botany, Shoot, Horticulture and Soil water. His research integrates issues of Soil contamination and Cultivar in his study of Cadmium. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Rhizophora stylosa, Phytoremediation and Mangrove.

His study in Horticulture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Japonica and Arsenic. His research integrates issues of Agronomy and Bioaccumulation in his study of Soil water. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Soil pH and Brown rice.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Can arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi reduce Cd uptake and alleviate Cd toxicity of Lonicera japonica grown in Cd-added soils? (62 citations)
  • Enhancement of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus versiforme) on the growth and Cd uptake by Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum (62 citations)
  • Effect of Funneliformis mosseae on the growth, cadmium accumulation and antioxidant activities of Solanum nigrum (38 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Cadmium, Phytoremediation, Soil water and Shoot. His work on Botany is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Constructed wetland. Zhihong Ye has researched Cadmium in several fields, including Anatomy and Sowing.

Specifically, his work in Phytoremediation is concerned with the study of Hyperaccumulator. In the field of Soil water, his study on Soil pH overlaps with subjects such as Amendment, Environmental pollution and Oryza. Shoot is the subject of his research, which falls under Horticulture.
