Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Irrigation

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Tillage, Fertilizer, Nitrous oxide and Loam. Agronomy is often connected to Nitrification in his work. His studies deal with areas such as Soil water, Soil carbon, Irrigation, Crop rotation and No-till farming as well as Tillage.

He has researched Soil carbon in several fields, including Soil organic matter, Minimum tillage and Soil respiration. His work carried out in the field of Fertilizer brings together such families of science as Soil management and Environmental engineering. His study looks at the relationship between Loam and fields such as Crop residue, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • Net Global Warming Potential and Greenhouse Gas Intensity in Irrigated Cropping Systems in Northeastern Colorado (477 citations)
  • Tillage, Nitrogen, and Cropping System Effects on Soil Carbon Sequestration (453 citations)
  • Reduced tillage and increasing cropping intensity in the Great Plains conserves soil C (225 citations)

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

Agronomy, Tillage, No-till farming, Loam and Cropping system are his primary areas of study. He interconnects Soil carbon and Soil water in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. Ardell D. Halvorson works mostly in the field of Soil carbon, limiting it down to concerns involving Soil organic matter and, occasionally, Soil fertility.

The concepts of his Tillage study are interwoven with issues in Soil management, Fertilizer and Helianthus annuus. His work deals with themes such as Urea, Nitrification, Bulk density and Soil quality, which intersect with Loam. His Cropping system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil conservation, DNS root zone, Poaceae and Mollisol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (91.36%)
  • Tillage (48.15%)
  • No-till farming (32.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2018)?

  • Agronomy (91.36%)
  • Soil carbon (23.46%)
  • Soil organic matter (16.05%)

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

Ardell D. Halvorson mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil organic matter, Tillage and Soil fertility. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both No-till farming and Soil water. His work deals with themes such as Crop residue and Nitrification, which intersect with Soil water.

The various areas that Ardell D. Halvorson examines in his Soil organic matter study include Agroecosystem and Soil test. His research in Tillage intersects with topics in Cropping and Soil management. His Irrigation research focuses on Crop rotation and how it relates to Soil quality.

Between 2014 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Lignin biochemistry and soil N determine crop residue decomposition and soil priming (41 citations)
  • Terrestrial carbon pools : preliminary data from the Corn Belt and Great Plains regions (28 citations)
  • Evaluating four nitrous oxide emission algorithms in response to N rate on an irrigated corn field (26 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Irrigation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Soil water, Soil organic matter, Agronomy, Algorithm and Denitrification. His Soil water research integrates issues from Residue, Biochemistry and Crop residue. His Soil organic matter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil test, Carbon pool and Soil quality.

Ardell D. Halvorson interconnects Agroforestry, Soil carbon and Agroecosystem in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His study of Algorithm brings together topics like DayCent, Water quality, Nitrous oxide, Nitrification and Fertilizer.
