Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Nitrification, Agriculture, Nitrosomonas europaea and Botany. His Agronomy research includes themes of Soil biology and Denitrification. His Nitrification study incorporates themes from Reactive nitrogen, Ecosystem and Greenhouse gas.

His studies in Agriculture integrate themes in fields like Global warming, Climate change, Global change and Temperate climate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sorghum, Food science and Exudate in addition to Nitrosomonas europaea. Guntur V. Subbarao combines subjects such as Essential nutrient, Nutrient and Soil water with his study of Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate change: Can wheat beat the heat? (442 citations)
  • Scope and Strategies for Regulation of Nitrification in Agricultural Systems—Challenges and Opportunities (317 citations)
  • Evidence for biological nitrification inhibition in Brachiaria pastures (267 citations)

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

Guntur V. Subbarao focuses on Nitrification, Agronomy, Botany, Agriculture and Nitrosomonas europaea. His work deals with themes such as Brachiaria, Fertilizer, Soil water, Sorghum and Rhizosphere, which intersect with Nitrification. Guntur V. Subbarao has included themes like Denitrification, Nitrogen fixation, Leaching and Nitrogen cycle in his Agronomy study.

His work on Osmotic pressure as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Sodium, bridging the gap between disciplines. In his research on the topic of Agriculture, Sustainable agriculture and Nutrient pollution is strongly related with Greenhouse gas. His Nitrosomonas europaea research incorporates themes from Food science, Ammonia monooxygenase and Exudate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nitrification (54.17%)
  • Agronomy (47.22%)
  • Botany (29.17%)

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

  • Nitrification (54.17%)
  • Agronomy (47.22%)
  • Rhizosphere (13.89%)

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

Guntur V. Subbarao mainly investigates Nitrification, Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Agriculture and Forage. His research investigates the connection with Nitrification and areas like Sorghum which intersect with concerns in Archaea. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nitrate and Leaching.

His study looks at the intersection of Rhizosphere and topics like Bioassay with Microcosm, Sowing, Hybrid, Nitrosomonas europaea and Exudate. His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eco-efficiency, Greenhouse gas and Ecosystem services. Guntur V. Subbarao works mostly in the field of Forage, limiting it down to topics relating to Agroforestry and, in certain cases, Climate change, Crop livestock and Soil carbon.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Suppression of soil nitrification by plants (83 citations)
  • LivestockPlus - The sustainable intensification of forage-based agricultural systems to improve livelihoods and ecosystem services in the tropics * (44 citations)
  • Biological nitrification inhibition in sorghum: the role of sorgoleone production (26 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Agronomy, Nitrification, Agriculture, Nitrate and Denitrification are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Nitrification inhibitors, Simultaneous nitrification-denitrification and Plant physiology. The Agriculture study combines topics in areas such as Forage, Greenhouse gas, Eco-efficiency and Ecosystem services.

His Nitrate research includes elements of Soil biology, Brachiaria, Leaching, Soil fertility and Environmental impact of agriculture. His Denitrification research incorporates elements of Nitrogen fixation and Nitrous oxide.
