Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Soil water

Craig F. Drury spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Soil water, Loam, Tillage and Water content. His research integrates issues of Denitrification and Soil test in his study of Agronomy. His Soil water research includes themes of Hydrology and Organic matter.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil structure, Crop rotation and Tile drainage. His Tillage research includes elements of Nitrous oxide and Plough. In his work, Soil carbon and Humus is strongly intertwined with Total organic carbon, which is a subfield of Soil organic matter.

His most cited work include:

  • Impact of tillage practices on organic carbon and nitrogen storage in cool, humid soils of eastern Canada (343 citations)
  • Use of indicators and pore volume-function characteristics to quantify soil physical quality (236 citations)
  • Fertilization effects on soil organic matter turnover and corn residue C storage (232 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Soil water, Loam, Manure and Tillage. Craig F. Drury frequently studies issues relating to Tile drainage and Agronomy. His research in Soil water intersects with topics in Hydrology, Water content and Organic matter.

His research in Loam focuses on subjects like Denitrification, which are connected to Mineralization. His work investigates the relationship between Manure and topics such as Straw that intersect with problems in Bedding. His work in Tillage tackles topics such as Plough which are related to areas like Soil test.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (61.27%)
  • Soil water (43.14%)
  • Loam (37.75%)

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

  • Agronomy (61.27%)
  • Soil water (43.14%)
  • Loam (37.75%)

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

Craig F. Drury focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Loam, Manure and Feedlot. His research links Crop residue with Agronomy. Craig F. Drury interconnects Agriculture, Water quality and Infrared spectroscopy in the investigation of issues within Soil water.

His research integrates issues of Soil carbon, Cropping system, Soil test and Human fertilization in his study of Loam. His Manure research incorporates themes from Total organic carbon, Straw, Animal science and Hordeum vulgare. His work focuses on many connections between Feedlot and other disciplines, such as Surface runoff, that overlap with his field of interest in Drainage and Soil horizon.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Long-term Trends in Corn Yields and Soil Carbon under Diversified Crop Rotations. (36 citations)
  • Estimating the impacts of climate change on crop yields and N2O emissions for conventional and no-tillage in Southwestern Ontario, Canada (35 citations)
  • Long-Term Evidence Shows that Crop-Rotation Diversification Increases Agricultural Resilience to Adverse Growing Conditions in North America (28 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

Agronomy, Crop yield, Fertilizer, Tile drainage and Surface runoff are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nitrous oxide and Soil health. His study in Crop yield is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crop diversity, Crop rotation, Crop and Climate change.

His Fertilizer research focuses on subjects like Leaching, which are linked to Soil pH and Silage. His biological study deals with issues like Loam, which deal with fields such as Animal science, Straw, Soil thermal properties, Hydraulic conductivity and Bulk density. His Water quality study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Soil water.
