David S. Powlson

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Soil water, Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Soil carbon and Biomass. His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry and Ecosystem. David S. Powlson interconnects Nitrate and Arable land in the investigation of issues within Agronomy.

His study in Soil organic matter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Organic matter, Tillage, Straw and Soil management. The various areas that David S. Powlson examines in his Soil carbon study include Carbon sequestration, Agroforestry, Climate change and Greenhouse gas. As a part of the same scientific study, David S. Powlson usually deals with the Biomass, concentrating on Fumigation and frequently concerns with Decomposition, Extraction, Chloroform and Animal science.

His most cited work include:

• The effects of biocidal treatments on metabolism in soil—V: A method for measuring soil biomass (2161 citations)
• Measurement of microbial biomass phosphorus in soil (956 citations)
• Measurement of soil microbial biomass provides an early indication of changes in total soil organic matter due to straw incorporation (909 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Soil carbon and Fertilizer. His work deals with themes such as Agriculture, Arable land, Nitrate and Leaching, which intersect with Agronomy. David S. Powlson works mostly in the field of Soil water, limiting it down to topics relating to Biomass and, in certain cases, Fumigation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Organic matter and Soil management. His Soil carbon research incorporates elements of Agroforestry, Land management, Land use, Climate change and Greenhouse gas. His Fertilizer research integrates issues from Crop residue and Manure.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (33.75%)
• Soil water (30.62%)
• Soil organic matter (23.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

• Soil carbon (17.50%)
• Agronomy (33.75%)
• Soil water (30.62%)

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

David S. Powlson focuses on Soil carbon, Agronomy, Soil water, Soil organic matter and Agroforestry. His studies in Soil carbon integrate themes in fields like Total organic carbon, Soil quality, Climate change, Land management and Greenhouse gas. His research in the fields of Fertilizer, Manure, Crop yield and Crop overlaps with other disciplines such as Dilemma.

His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Global warming and Biogeochemical cycle. His work is dedicated to discovering how Soil organic matter, Organic matter are connected with Crop rotation and other disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass, No-till farming and Soil management, Agriculture as well as Agroforestry.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Soil carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change: a critical re‐examination to identify the true and the false (469 citations)
• Limited potential of no-till agriculture for climate change mitigation (389 citations)
• New technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissions from nitrogenous fertilizer in China (327 citations)

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

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Soil carbon, Fertilizer, Soil organic matter and Greenhouse gas. His work on Manure, Crop and Crop yield as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Dilemma, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. He has included themes like Agroforestry, Plough, Climate change, Tillage and Straw in his Soil carbon study.

His work carried out in the field of Fertilizer brings together such families of science as Nitrate and Leaching. His research in Soil organic matter intersects with topics in Environmental chemistry and Organic matter. His Greenhouse gas research includes themes of Soil science, Land management and Environmental protection.
