  • 2012 - Fellow of the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of study are Manure, Compost, Agronomy, Feedlot and Beef cattle. His study in Manure is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nutrient, Environmental engineering and Greenhouse gas. His research in Compost intersects with topics in Biodegradable waste, Microbiology and Water content.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both No-till farming and Topsoil. His Feedlot research integrates issues from Windrow, Windrow composting, Dry matter and Aeration. His research investigates the connection with Beef cattle and areas like Straw which intersect with concerns in Feces.

His most cited work include:

  • Greenhouse gas emissions during cattle feedlot manure composting. (219 citations)
  • Carbon, nitrogen balances and greenhouse gas emission during cattle feedlot manure composting. (212 citations)
  • A review of composting as a management alternative for beef cattle feedlot manure in southern Alberta, Canada (158 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Manure, Compost, Feedlot and Soil water. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil quality and Topsoil. He interconnects Dry matter, Animal science, Beef cattle, Nutrient and Straw in the investigation of issues within Manure.

His work on Windrow as part of his general Compost study is frequently connected to Amendment, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research investigates the link between Feedlot and topics such as Greenhouse gas that cross with problems in Nitrous oxide. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydrology and Water content.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (61.83%)
  • Manure (53.23%)
  • Compost (32.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Agronomy (61.83%)
  • Manure (53.23%)
  • Feedlot (25.81%)

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

Francis J. Larney focuses on Agronomy, Manure, Feedlot, Cover crop and Tillage. His Agronomy research focuses on Soil quality and how it connects with Organic matter and Erosion. Francis J. Larney combines subjects such as Soil water, Animal science, Beef cattle, Tylosin and Straw with his study of Manure.

His study in the field of Dry matter is also linked to topics like Melengestrol acetate. The Feedlot study combines topics in areas such as Silage, Field experiment and Feces. His studies deal with areas such as Soil conservation, Agriculture, Agroforestry and Irrigation as well as Tillage.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tillage Systems for Soil and Water Conservation on the Canadian Prairie (58 citations)
  • Quantifying sensitive soil quality indicators across contrasting long-term land management systems: Crop rotations and nutrient regimes (25 citations)
  • Pyrosequencing reveals profiles of soil bacterial communities after 12 years of conservation management on irrigated crop rotations (21 citations)
