Dr. Joinal Abedin, a Soil Scientist, has many years of experience in planning, designing, conducting, and interpreting field and laboratory experiments in relation to soil health, soil contamination and environmental remediation. His soil health research was dedicated to examine sustainable management practices to improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of the agricultural soils. His research resulted in good number of high-quality research articles published in reputed international journals. Some of these journal articles were highly cited by the scientific community; one article published in Environmental Science & Technology (36.5 (2002): 962-968) was cited 833 times, another article published in Plant Physiology (128.3 (2002): 1120-1128) was cited 885 times and two articles published in Plant and Soil (240.2 (2002): 311-319 and 243.1 (2002): 57-66) were cited 529 and 333 times respectively (Source: Google scholar as of January 18, 2024).
