Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, No-till farming, Organic farming, Agriculture and Nutrient. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Soil organic matter, Agroecosystem and Nitrogen cycle. His study explores the link between No-till farming and topics such as Sustainable agriculture that cross with problems in Food web.

His studies deal with areas such as Root rot, Soil test, Cultural practice, Phytophthora and Phycomycetes as well as Organic farming. He has researched Agriculture in several fields, including Sustainability and Greenhouse gas. His research integrates issues of Limiting factor, Competition, Weed and Interspecific competition in his study of Nutrient.

His most cited work include:

  • Fundamental Differences Between Conventional and Organic Tomato Agroecosystems in California (407 citations)
  • Changes in Soil Chemical Properties Resulting from Organic and Low-Input Farming Practices (341 citations)
  • Tomato fruit yields and quality under water deficit and salinity. (215 citations)

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

Carol Shennan mainly investigates Agronomy, Horticulture, Cover crop, Agroforestry and Agriculture. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil water and Organic farming. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Salinity and Botany.

His Cover crop study also includes

  • Vicia sativa, Green manure, Manure and Nitrogen deficiency most often made with reference to Fertilizer,
  • Verticillium dahliae that intertwine with fields like Weed control. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agroecosystem, Habitat, Crop and Ecosystem services in addition to Agroforestry. Many of his research projects under Agriculture are closely connected to Business with Business, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (56.36%)
  • Horticulture (20.00%)
  • Cover crop (17.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Agronomy (56.36%)
  • Anaerobic exercise (10.91%)
  • Agroforestry (15.45%)

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

Agronomy, Anaerobic exercise, Agroforestry, Crop rotation and Agriculture are his primary areas of study. He has included themes like Soil water and Horticulture in his Agronomy study. His Agroforestry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biodiversity and Ecosystem services.

The Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Agroecosystem, Abundance, Livelihood and Beneficial insects. His work in Agriculture tackles topics such as Sustainability which are related to areas like Agroecology and Environmental resource management. His work carried out in the field of Fumigation brings together such families of science as PEST analysis, Cropping system and Soil solarization.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • ANAEROBIC SOIL DISINFESTATION FOR SOIL BORNE DISEASE CONTROL IN STRAWBERRY AND VEGETABLE SYSTEMS: CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS (57 citations)
  • Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation (ASD) Combined with Soil Solarization as a Methyl Bromide Alternative: Vegetable Crop Performance and Soil Nutrient Dynamics (42 citations)
  • Coffee landscapes as refugia for native woody biodiversity as forest loss continues in southwest Ethiopia (40 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Carol Shennan mostly deals with Agroforestry, Agronomy, Biodiversity, Agriculture and Ecosystem services. His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil borne and Current. His Agronomy research includes themes of Inoculation and Plant nutrition.

His Biodiversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Abundance, Diabrotica undecimpunctata and Beneficial insects. His research investigates the connection with Agriculture and areas like Sustainability which intersect with concerns in Subsistence agriculture, Crop diversity, Agricultural biodiversity and Natural resource economics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agroecosystem, Deforestation and Livelihood.
