Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Loam, Animal science and Ultisol. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Soil management, Panicum virgatum and Energy crop. His Loam study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil structure, Fertilizer and Bulk density, Soil compaction.

His studies in Animal science integrate themes in fields like Denitrification, Nitrogen cycle and Nitrogen balance. He interconnects Poultry litter, Manure and Festuca arundinacea in the investigation of issues within Litter. His Tillage study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Mulch-till and Crop rotation.

His most cited work include:

  • Impact of long-term land application of broiler litter on environmentally related soil properties (355 citations)
  • Field chlorophyll measurements for evaluation of corn nitrogen status 1 (203 citations)
  • Poultry manure management: Environmentally sound options (198 citations)

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

C. W. Wood mainly focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Nutrient, Tillage and Poultry litter. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil carbon, Loam and Mineralization. His Soil water study which covers Irrigation that intersects with Grain yield.

C. W. Wood has included themes like Chlorophyll, Botany, Lycopersicon, Horticulture and Yield in his Nutrient study. His Tillage study incorporates themes from Soil management, Crop residue and Sowing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Organic fertilizer, Litter, Water content, Nitrate and Animal science in addition to Poultry litter.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (59.63%)
  • Soil water (19.27%)
  • Nutrient (18.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Agronomy (59.63%)
  • Tillage (17.43%)
  • Irrigation water (3.67%)

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

C. W. Wood spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Tillage, Irrigation water, Irrigation and Soil water. C. W. Wood has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Nutrient, Nitrogen cycle and Mineralization. In the field of Tillage, his study on Conventional tillage overlaps with subjects such as Production.

His research investigates the connection between Irrigation water and topics such as Grain yield that intersect with problems in Irrigation scheduling. His research on Irrigation also deals with topics like

  • Crop yield, which have a strong connection to Diesel fuel, Water-use efficiency, Groundwater, Infiltration and Surface runoff,
  • Loam most often made with reference to Soil texture. His research investigates the connection between Cover crop and topics such as Soil carbon that intersect with issues in Crop rotation and Cropping system.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Irrigation Water Management Practices that Reduce Water Requirements for Mid-South Furrow-Irrigated Soybean (20 citations)
  • Effects of nitrogen fertilization on soil nutrient concentration and phosphatase activity and forage nutrient uptake from a grazed pasture system. (10 citations)
  • Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics in a Sod‐Based Rotation on Coastal Plain Soils (5 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

C. W. Wood mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Cover crop, Low-flow irrigation systems and Conventional tillage. His study in Forage, Grazing and Human fertilization is carried out as part of his Agronomy studies. His studies deal with areas such as Crop yield and Irrigation as well as Soil water.

His Crop yield study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Infiltration, Loam and Surface runoff. The Cover crop study combines topics in areas such as Soil carbon, Biomass, No-till farming, Cropping system and Tillage. His Conventional tillage research includes elements of Mulch, Crop rotation and Soil fertility.
