Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

David F. Herridge focuses on Agronomy, Nitrogen fixation, Agriculture, Legume and Botany. The various areas that David F. Herridge examines in his Agronomy study include Rhizobia and Soil fertility. His studies in Nitrogen fixation integrate themes in fields like Cultivar, Nitrate, Rhizobium and Tillage.

His research integrates issues of Agroforestry and Green manure in his study of Agriculture. Many of his research projects under Botany are closely connected to Dilution with Dilution, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. David F. Herridge interconnects Fodder and Grazing in the investigation of issues within Agricultural productivity.

His most cited work include:

  • Global inputs of biological nitrogen fixation in agricultural systems (886 citations)
  • Biological nitrogen fixation: An efficient source of nitrogen for sustainable agricultural production? (626 citations)
  • The contributions of nitrogen-fixing crop legumes to the productivity of agricultural systems. (402 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Nitrogen fixation, Legume, Sowing and Shoot. His work deals with themes such as Rhizobia, Plant nutrition and Microbial inoculant, which intersect with Agronomy. His research in Nitrogen fixation intersects with topics in Fertilizer, Agriculture, Xylem, Nitrate and Drought tolerance.

His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroforestry and Crop yield. His work in Legume tackles topics such as Cajanus which are related to areas like Petiole. He combines subjects such as Dry matter and N2 Fixation with his study of Shoot.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (75.00%)
  • Nitrogen fixation (41.67%)
  • Legume (25.00%)

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

  • Agronomy (75.00%)
  • Sowing (25.00%)
  • Nitrogen fixation (41.67%)

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

David F. Herridge mostly deals with Agronomy, Sowing, Nitrogen fixation, Cropping and Soil water. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nutrient and Nitrification. His Sowing research integrates issues from Leaching and Growing season.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental chemistry and Soil nitrogen. His Soil water research incorporates elements of Productivity, Rhizobia and Inoculation. His Canola research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Life-cycle assessment and Legume.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Enhanced biological N2 fixation and yield of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in an acid soil following biochar addition: dissection of causal mechanisms (59 citations)
  • Soil N2O emissions under N2-fixing legumes and N-fertilised canola: A reappraisal of emissions factor calculations (37 citations)
  • Measuring Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation by Legumes (22 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Agronomy, Sowing, Soil water, Nitrogen fixation and Nutrient are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Soil health and Soil nitrogen. His Nitrogen fixation research includes themes of Field pea, Crop rotation and Soil classification.

His research in Nutrient intersects with topics in Soil pH, Crop yield and Compost. The study incorporates disciplines such as Canola, Dry matter, Shoot and Summer fallow in addition to Legume. His studies in Crop integrate themes in fields like Edaphic, Inoculation, Microbial inoculant, Productivity and Rhizobia.
