Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Agronomy, Nitrogen cycle and Mineralization. His Soil water study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nitrate and Water content. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil science, Secondary ion mass spectrometry, Cycling, Nutrient and Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry.

His work deals with themes such as Soil organic matter, Nitrous oxide, Agriculture and Biochar, which intersect with Agronomy. His Nitrogen cycle research incorporates themes from Microorganism, Animal science, Fertilizer and Botany. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Organic matter under Mineralization, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Soil respiration.

His most cited work include:

  • Biochar-mediated changes in soil quality and plant growth in a three year field trial (551 citations)
  • Short-term biochar-induced increase in soil CO2 release is both biotically and abiotically mediated (349 citations)
  • Role of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in soil N cycling in grassland soils (331 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Soil water, Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Environmental chemistry and Mineralization. His studies deal with areas such as Organic matter, Nitrification and Nitrogen cycle as well as Soil water. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Soil fertility, Soil pH and Biochar.

The study incorporates disciplines such as No-till farming, Soil carbon and Nutrient in addition to Soil organic matter. His research in Environmental chemistry focuses on subjects like Microbial population biology, which are connected to Ecosystem. The various areas that Daniel Murphy examines in his Mineralization study include Loam, Leaching and Soil respiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (44.83%)
  • Agronomy (36.45%)
  • Soil organic matter (26.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Agronomy (36.45%)
  • Soil water (44.83%)
  • Soil organic matter (26.60%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Soil carbon and Environmental chemistry. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Nutrient, Soil chemistry and Organic matter. His work carried out in the field of Soil water brings together such families of science as Aeration, Anoxic waters and Water content.

His research investigates the connection between Soil organic matter and topics such as Nitrification that intersect with problems in Nutrient management. His Soil carbon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of No-till farming, Humus and Environmental protection. Daniel Murphy combines subjects such as Monolayer, Regional variation, Soil quality and Microbial population biology with his study of Environmental chemistry.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Exploring the transfer of recent plant photosynthates to soil microbes: mycorrhizal pathway vs direct root exudation (186 citations)
  • Estimating cumulative point prevalence of rare diseases: analysis of the Orphanet database. (121 citations)
  • Linking bacterial community composition to soil salinity along environmental gradients (79 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Daniel Murphy mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Nutrient and Soil pH. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Nitrification, Soil respiration, Topsoil and Cambisol. His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Organic matter and Biochar.

The Soil organic matter study combines topics in areas such as Soil carbon, Mineralization, Green manure, Subsoil and Soil horizon. His Nutrient research integrates issues from Soil texture, Biomass, Erosion and Hypha. Daniel Murphy works mostly in the field of Soil pH, limiting it down to topics relating to Microbial population biology and, in certain cases, Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon, Ecology and Salinity.
