What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Agriculture
- Ecology
- Soil water
Soil water, Tillage, Soil science, No-till farming and Soil structure are his primary areas of study.
His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fertilizer, Hordeum vulgare, Atmospheric sciences, Grassland and Environmental chemistry.
His Tillage study improves the overall literature in Agronomy.
His research investigates the link between Soil science and topics such as Water content that cross with problems in Erosion.
He has included themes like Agroforestry, Plough, Soybean management practices, Soil management and Minimum tillage in his No-till farming study.
The Soil structure study combines topics in areas such as Crop rotation and Methane.
His most cited work include:
- Field N2O, CO2 and CH4 fluxes in relation to tillage, compaction and soil quality in Scotland (429 citations)
- No-till in northern, western and south-western Europe: A review of problems and opportunities for crop production and the environment (424 citations)
- Oxidation of atmospheric methane in Northern European soils, comparison with other ecosystems, and uncertainties in the global terrestrial sink (379 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Bruce C. Ball focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Soil science, Soil structure and Soil quality.
His studies deal with areas such as Nitrous oxide and Loam as well as Agronomy.
His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Atmospheric sciences and Hordeum vulgare.
His research in Soil science intersects with topics in Land management and Water content.
His study in Soil quality is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil classification, Environmental resource management, Soil retrogression and degradation, Soil functions and Soil management.
As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Tillage, focusing on No-till farming and, on occasion, Crop rotation and Soil carbon.
He most often published in these fields:
- Agronomy (40.00%)
- Soil water (38.18%)
- Soil science (28.18%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?
- Agronomy (40.00%)
- Soil structure (28.18%)
- Soil science (28.18%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Soil structure, Soil science, Soil water and Soil quality.
His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Nitrous oxide, Loam, Bulk density and Arable land.
Bruce C. Ball combines subjects such as Hydrology, Erosion, Compaction and Soil classification with his study of Soil structure.
His study of Soil compaction is a part of Soil science.
His biological study deals with issues like Tillage, which deal with fields such as No-till farming.
His Soil quality research incorporates themes from Soil retrogression and degradation, Soil texture, Soil survey and Soil functions.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- No-till in northern, western and south-western Europe: A review of problems and opportunities for crop production and the environment (424 citations)
- Soil structure and greenhouse gas emissions: a synthesis of 20 years of experimentation (136 citations)
- Nitrous oxide emissions from European agriculture - an analysis of variability and drivers of emissions from field experiments (95 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Agriculture
- Ecology
- Fertilizer
Bruce C. Ball spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Soil water, Soil science, Nitrous oxide and Soil structure.
His Agronomy research is mostly focused on the topic Manure.
His Soil water research incorporates elements of Tillage and Temperate climate.
His Tillage research incorporates themes from No-till farming and Plough.
The Soil quality and Oxisol research Bruce C. Ball does as part of his general Soil science study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Index, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His study on Nitrous oxide also encompasses disciplines like
- Agriculture, which have a strong connection to Grassland and Fertilizer,
- Pasture which intersects with area such as Loam, Trampling and Bulk density.
