  • 2004 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Ecosystem and Agriculture. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Soil biology, No-till farming, Soil fertility and Soil carbon. His Soil water research is included under the broader classification of Ecology.

His Ecosystem research includes elements of Biomass and Botany. His Agriculture research includes themes of Natural resource economics and Land use. The various areas that Charles W. Rice examines in his Land use, land-use change and forestry study include Greenhouse gas and Sustainable development.

His most cited work include:

  • Greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture (1545 citations)
  • Soil aggregation and carbon sequestration are tightly correlated with the abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: results from long-term field experiments. (453 citations)
  • Policy and technological constraints to implementation of greenhouse gas mitigation options in agriculture (426 citations)

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

Charles W. Rice spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil water, Carbon sequestration and Agriculture. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil organic matter and No-till farming. His Soil carbon study also includes

  • Soil fertility that connect with fields like Soil quality,
  • Organic matter most often made with reference to Environmental chemistry.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ecosystem, Nitrogen cycle and Grassland. His Carbon sequestration study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Carbon dioxide, Carbon credit and Environmental protection. His Agriculture research integrates issues from Natural resource economics, Climate change, Environmental resource management and Greenhouse gas.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (43.55%)
  • Soil carbon (26.34%)
  • Soil water (25.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Agronomy (43.55%)
  • Soil carbon (26.34%)
  • Soil water (25.27%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil water, Soil health and Agriculture. Charles W. Rice has included themes like No-till farming and Soil horizon in his Agronomy study. His work deals with themes such as Monoculture, Soil fertility, Carbon sequestration, Cover crop and Soil management, which intersect with Soil carbon.

His Soil water research incorporates elements of Land management and Spatial variability. His work carried out in the field of Agriculture brings together such families of science as Agricultural engineering, Natural resource economics and Carbon cycle. While the research belongs to areas of Agroforestry, Charles W. Rice spends his time largely on the problem of DSSAT, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Soil organic matter.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Quantifying carbon for agricultural soil management: from the current status toward a global soil information system (22 citations)
  • Current knowledge and future research directions to link soil health and water conservation in the Ogallala Aquifer region (22 citations)
  • Vertical changes of soil microbial properties in claypan soils (22 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

Charles W. Rice mostly deals with Soil carbon, Agronomy, Soil water, Biomass and Soil management. As a part of the same scientific family, Charles W. Rice mostly works in the field of Soil carbon, focusing on Carbon sequestration and, on occasion, Soil classification, Soil quality and Soil health. His Soil quality research incorporates themes from Soil organic matter and Agroforestry.

In his study, No-till farming, Tillage, Subsoil and Claypan is strongly linked to Soil horizon, which falls under the umbrella field of Agronomy. His Soil water study deals with the bigger picture of Ecology. To a larger extent, Charles W. Rice studies Agriculture with the aim of understanding Soil management.
