Frank M. Hons

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Agronomy
• Botany

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil water, Loam, Tillage and Soil organic matter. Agronomy is frequently linked to Soil carbon in his study. His Nutrient research extends to Soil water, which is thematically connected.

His research investigates the connection between Loam and topics such as Water content that intersect with issues in Soil fertility. Frank M. Hons is studying Conventional tillage, which is a component of Tillage. The concepts of his Soil organic matter study are interwoven with issues in Environmental chemistry, Soil type, Organic matter and Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

• Flush of carbon dioxide following rewetting of dried soil relates to active organic pools. (270 citations)
• Effect of glyphosate on soil microbial activity and biomass (215 citations)
• Long-Term Changes in Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Pools in Wheat Management Systems (211 citations)

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

Agronomy, Soil water, Tillage, Sorghum and Loam are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil organic matter, Soil carbon and Nutrient. His Soil water research incorporates themes from Environmental chemistry and Organic matter.

His studies in Tillage integrate themes in fields like No-till farming, Cropping system and Crop rotation. His work in the fields of Sorghum, such as Sweet sorghum, overlaps with other areas such as Production. His research in the fields of Ustochrept overlaps with other disciplines such as Crop residue.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (84.75%)
• Soil water (46.61%)
• Tillage (33.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

• Agronomy (84.75%)
• Sorghum (26.27%)
• Bioenergy (11.02%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Sorghum, Bioenergy, Tillage and Soil water. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil carbon and Soil quality. His Soil carbon research focuses on Soil organic matter and how it connects with Soil chemistry and Biomass.

Frank M. Hons combines subjects such as Soil test, Loam and Nutrient with his study of Soil quality. His Sorghum study which covers Lignin that intersects with Biochemistry, Hydrogen peroxide and Metabolism. His Soil water research includes elements of Repeatability, Cropping system and Water content.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Differential impacts of brassicaceous and nonbrassicaceous oilseed meals on soil bacterial and fungal communities. (39 citations)
• Soil bacterial and fungal communities respond differently to various isothiocyanates added for biofumigation (32 citations)
• Management effects on bioenergy sorghum growth, yield and nutrient uptake (26 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Agronomy
• Botany

Frank M. Hons mainly investigates Agronomy, Sorghum, Bioenergy, Microbial population biology and Crop yield. The various areas that Frank M. Hons examines in his Agronomy study include Soil organic matter, Soil carbon, Soil chemistry and Biomass. Soil organic matter is a subfield of Soil water that Frank M. Hons tackles.

His work deals with themes such as Cover crop, Soil management and Corn stover, which intersect with Sorghum. His research in Microbial population biology intersects with topics in Ecology, Microcosm, Food science and Conventional tillage. His Crop yield research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agroforestry, Fertilizer and Soil fertility.
