C. A. Campbell mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Crop rotation, Soil water and Chernozem. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Cropping and Crop residue. C. A. Campbell combines subjects such as Organic matter, No-till farming, Soil fertility and Mineralization with his study of Soil organic matter.

The various areas that C. A. Campbell examines in his Crop rotation study include Carbon sequestration, Agroforestry and Soil horizon. His Soil water study incorporates themes from Summer fallow and Water content. The Chernozem study combines topics in areas such as Monoculture, Humus, Green manure and Human fertilization.

His most cited work include:

  • Light-fraction organic matter in soils from long-term crop rotations (582 citations)
  • Management effects on soil C storage on the Canadian prairies (354 citations)
  • Effect of crop rotations and cultural practices on soil organic matter, microbial biomass and respiration in a thin Black Chernozem (227 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Crop rotation, Soil water, Chernozem and Fertilizer. C. A. Campbell has included themes like Soil organic matter and Loam in his Agronomy study. His Crop rotation research includes themes of Monoculture, Cropping, Soil test, Hay and Cropping system.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Hydrology, Nitrogen cycle and Summer fallow in addition to Soil water. His studies deal with areas such as Carbon sequestration, Humus and Soil horizon as well as Chernozem. The concepts of his Fertilizer study are interwoven with issues in Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Snow, Yield and Straw.

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

C. A. Campbell mainly focuses on Agronomy, Crop rotation, Soil carbon, Cropping and Crop yield. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil water, Chernozem and Crop residue. C. A. Campbell interconnects Field experiment and Summer fallow in the investigation of issues within Chernozem.

His work carried out in the field of Crop rotation brings together such families of science as Monoculture, Carbon sequestration, Greenhouse gas, Tillage and Green manure. The concepts of his Cropping study are interwoven with issues in Growing season and Nitrogen. His Fertilizer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil organic matter and Precipitation.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Some perspectives on carbon sequestration in agriculture (218 citations)
  • Improving farming practices reduces the carbon footprint of spring wheat production (136 citations)
  • Crop residue removal and fertilizer N: Effects on soil organic carbon in a long-term crop rotation experiment on a Udic Boroll (135 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Agronomy, Soil carbon, Greenhouse gas, Crop rotation and Fertilizer are his primary areas of study. His Soil water research extends to the thematically linked field of Agronomy. His work in Soil carbon addresses subjects such as Crop residue, which are connected to disciplines such as Straw.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Agriculture and Agroforestry in addition to Greenhouse gas. C. A. Campbell combines subjects such as Soil organic matter, Cropping and Agricultural land with his study of Fertilizer. His Cropping study incorporates themes from Growing season, Rainwater harvesting and Mineralization.
