Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Oxygen
Erosion
Agronomy

B. J. Alloway mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Soil contamination, Sludge, Organic matter and Cadmium. His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Iberian Pyrite Belt and Mineralogy. His Soil contamination study spans across into fields like Agronomy and Trace element.

His Daucus carota and Cultivar study in the realm of Agronomy connects with subjects such as Liliaceae and Chenopodiaceae. His Sludge research is within the category of Environmental engineering. His Environmental engineering research incorporates elements of Industrial waste and Manure.

His most cited work include:

An inventory of heavy metals inputs to agricultural soils in England and Wales. (825 citations)
Sources of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soils (335 citations)
Genotypic variations in the accumulation of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn exhibited by six commonly grown vegetables. (265 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Soil contamination, Sludge, Organic matter and Cadmium. The study of Environmental chemistry is intertwined with the study of Inorganic chemistry in a number of ways. His study connects Soil test and Soil contamination.

His studies examine the connections between Sludge and genetics, as well as such issues in Dissolved organic carbon, with regards to Leaching and Sewage sludge treatment. He integrates many fields, such as Organic matter, Loam, Lolium perenne, Amendment, Sorption and Environmental engineering, in his works. His Environmental engineering study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mining engineering, Waste management and Total organic carbon.

He most often published in these fields:

Environmental chemistry (40.00%)
Soil contamination (37.14%)
Sludge (37.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2017)?

Environmental chemistry (40.00%)
Cadmium (25.71%)
Metalloid (5.71%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental chemistry, Cadmium, Metalloid, Parent material and Agronomy. His Environmental chemistry study spans across into subjects like Bioavailability and Soil horizon. His Cadmium research spans across into subjects like Selenium, Plant nutrition, Soil contamination, Deposition and Soil quality.

With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Metalloid and Smelting. Parent material combines with fields such as Natural, Sludge, Medical geology and Clay minerals in his investigation. His study on Yield is often connected to Hectare, Zinc deficiency and Arable land as part of broader study in Agronomy.

Between 2011 and 2017, his most popular works were:

Sources of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soils (335 citations)
Bioavailability of Elements in Soil (61 citations)
Heavy Metals and Metalloids as Micronutrients for Plants and Animals (52 citations)
