  • 1998 - Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada Academy of Science

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Bacteria

David B. Layzell mainly investigates Botany, Nitrogen fixation, Nitrogenase, Phloem and Respiration. His Botany study which covers Sucrose that intersects with Carbon dioxide. His Nitrogen fixation research integrates issues from Symbiosis, Biochemistry and Rhizobium.

As part of his studies on Nitrogenase, he often connects relevant subjects like Analytical chemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Shoot, Rhizosphere, Nitrate and Xylem in addition to Phloem. His Respiration study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agronomy and Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • Break crop benefits in temperate wheat production (306 citations)
  • Gas Exchange of Legume Nodules and the Regulation of Nitrogenase Activity (276 citations)
  • Economy of Carbon and Nitrogen in a Nodulated and Nonnodulated (NO3-grown) Legume (136 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Nitrogenase, Nitrogen fixation, Respiration and Nodule. Phloem, Shoot, Legume, Lupinus and Photosynthesis are among the areas of Botany where David B. Layzell concentrates his study. Asparagine and Petiole is closely connected to Xylem in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Phloem.

His Nitrogenase research includes themes of Biochemistry, Metabolism, Symbiosis, Rhizosphere and Animal science. His study in Nitrogen fixation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nitrate, Rhizobiaceae, Agronomy and Transpiration. His research in the fields of Respiration rate overlaps with other disciplines such as Oxygene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (42.22%)
  • Nitrogenase (32.59%)
  • Nitrogen fixation (31.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Greenhouse gas (5.93%)
  • Biochar (3.70%)
  • Biomass (7.41%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Greenhouse gas, Biochar, Biomass, Environmental engineering and Charcoal. His Greenhouse gas research incorporates themes from Fossil fuel and Efficient energy use. He has included themes like Environmental chemistry, Industrial waste and Sawdust in his Biochar study.

The concepts of his Environmental chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Carbon capture and storage and Environmental remediation. His research in Biomass is mostly focused on Bioenergy. His Environmental engineering study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture, Energy security, Renewable energy, Methane and Carbon dioxide.

Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Break crop benefits in temperate wheat production (306 citations)
  • Soil biogeochemistry during the early spring in low arctic mesic tundra and the impacts of deepened snow and enhanced nitrogen availability (63 citations)
  • Soil biogeochemistry during the early spring in low arctic mesic tundra and the impacts of deepened snow and enhanced nitrogen availability (63 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Carbon dioxide

David B. Layzell focuses on Biochar, Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Tundra and Soil water. His Biochar research includes elements of Sawdust, Carbon dioxide and Methane. The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Softwood, Biodegradation and Industrial waste.

His work on Biogeochemistry, Ecosystem and Biogeochemical cycle as part of general Ecology research is often related to Atmospheric sciences and Snowmelt, thus linking different fields of science. Tundra is the subject of his research, which falls under Arctic.
