The Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Total organic carbon and Nitrogen.
His Mineralogy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Organic matter, Aqueous solution, Sorption and Analytical chemistry.
His most cited work include:
- Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy–Principal Components Regression Analyses of Soil Properties (1176 citations)
- Impact of biochar amendments on the quality of a typical Midwestern agricultural soil (764 citations)
- Biochar impact on nutrient leaching from a Midwestern agricultural soil. (695 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochar, Agronomy, Soil water, Clay minerals and Environmental chemistry.
His work deals with themes such as Corn stover, Bioenergy, Greenhouse gas and Soil conditioner, which intersect with Biochar.
His Agronomy research includes elements of Biomass, Soil carbon, Crop residue and Soil quality.
David A. Laird combines subjects such as Manure and Water content with his study of Soil water.
His Clay minerals research incorporates elements of Inorganic chemistry and Adsorption, Sorption.
David A. Laird focuses mostly in the field of Environmental chemistry, narrowing it down to topics relating to Charcoal and, in certain cases, Soil organic matter.
