Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Iain M. Young mainly focuses on Soil water, Soil structure, Ecology, Soil science and Soil biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Spatial distribution, Tillage and Ecosystem services in addition to Soil water. The concepts of his Soil structure study are interwoven with issues in Sorptivity, Mineralogy, Water content, Spatial ecology and No-till farming.

His Ecology course of study focuses on Microbial ecology and Biogeochemistry, Soil pH, Biogeochemical cycle and Biophysics. Iain M. Young combines subjects such as Soil ecology and Soil horizon with his study of Soil biology. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Small number and Loam.

His most cited work include:

  • Rhizosphere: biophysics, biogeochemistry and ecological relevance (670 citations)
  • Interactions and self-organization in the soil-microbe complex. (583 citations)
  • Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives (313 citations)

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

Soil water, Soil structure, Soil science, Agronomy and Ecology are his primary areas of study. Iain M. Young has researched Soil water in several fields, including Porosity, Mineralogy, Botany and Water content. Iain M. Young interconnects Rhizosphere and Bulk density in the investigation of issues within Water content.

His research on Soil structure also deals with topics like

  • Soil ecology most often made with reference to Soil biology,
  • Loam which intersects with area such as Compaction. Many of his research projects under Soil science are closely connected to Macropore with Macropore, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work on Root system and Hordeum vulgare as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Phosphorus and Glomalin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (36.02%)
  • Soil structure (30.43%)
  • Soil science (20.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Soil water (36.02%)
  • Agronomy (21.74%)
  • Porosity (11.18%)

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

Iain M. Young mainly investigates Soil water, Agronomy, Porosity, Soil science and Soil carbon. His Soil water research incorporates themes from Food processing, Environmental quality and Environmental protection. His work on Cultivar, Root system and Drought tolerance as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Segmentation and Image processing, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Porosity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Decomposition and Bulk soil. His work on Hydraulic conductivity as part of general Soil science study is frequently connected to Macropore, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. He has researched Nutrient in several fields, including Soil structure, Sorptivity and Mucilage.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives (313 citations)
  • Physical soil architectural traits are functionally linked to carbon decomposition and bacterial diversity. (47 citations)
  • Visualization of xylem embolism by X-ray microtomography: a direct test against hydraulic measurements. (40 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Soil science, Porosity, Soil water, Total organic carbon and Soil carbon. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Infiltration and Tortuosity. His Porosity study incorporates themes from Nutrient and Bulk soil.

The concepts of his Bulk soil study are interwoven with issues in Soil structure, Sorptivity and Mucilage. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecology, Environmental resource management and Ecosystem services. His Soil carbon research includes elements of Mineralogy, Pasture and Oxisol.
