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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Fertilizer, Manure, Grassland and Ammonia volatilization from urea. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nitrate and Leaching. His work deals with themes such as Mineralization, Topsoil, Biomass, Available water capacity and Animal science, which intersect with Manure.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil classification and Organic matter in addition to Mineralization. His Grassland research incorporates elements of Agriculture, Grazing and Calcium ammonium nitrate. The Ammonia volatilization from urea study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient and Crop.
