Brian McConkey mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil water, Crop rotation, Tillage and Soil organic matter.
As a part of the same scientific family, Brian McConkey mostly works in the field of Agronomy, focusing on Crop residue and, on occasion, Soil science.
Brian McConkey works mostly in the field of Soil water, limiting it down to concerns involving Productivity and, occasionally, Postharvest and Soil classification.
Brian McConkey combines subjects such as Chernozem, Soil test and Minimum tillage with his study of Crop rotation.
His work deals with themes such as Soil texture, No-till farming and Water use, which intersect with Tillage.
His research integrates issues of Soil management and Soil quality in his study of Soil organic matter.
His most cited work include:
- Soil carbon 4 per mille (559 citations)
- Economics of Crop Diversification and Soil Tillage Opportunities in the Canadian Prairies (215 citations)
- Pulse Crop Adaptation in the Northern Great Plains (207 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Brian McConkey mainly focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Tillage, Soil carbon and Greenhouse gas.
In his research on the topic of Agronomy, Cropping is strongly related with Chernozem.
In his research, Snow is intimately related to Hydrology, which falls under the overarching field of Soil water.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Tillage, No-till farming are connected with Cropping system and other disciplines.
His research in Soil carbon intersects with topics in Soil organic matter and Land management, Land use.
Brian McConkey interconnects Agriculture, Climate change, Bioenergy and Environmental protection in the investigation of issues within Greenhouse gas.
