Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Helen C. S. Amorim's research focuses on soil science, investigating mechanisms of soil organic carbon retention and the impact of conservation agriculture on soil quality. Her work also explores the utilization of industry by-products as fertilizers, employing advanced spectroscopic techniques for soil analysis. Amorim has published on global trends in C:N ratios of soils and particle-size fractions, highlighting the preferential sorption of nitrogen by clays. She has also studied the composition of insect frass and its potential as an organic fertilizer within circular economy frameworks, as well as the effects of tree species and poultry litter on soil organic carbon and nutrients in agroforestry systems. Her research further includes assessing soil quality in long-term management systems and examining lead speciation in contaminated soils. Amorim holds a Doctor of Science in Soil Science and has an h-index of 12 with 441 citations across 25 publications.
