John Clifton-Brown

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Botany

John Clifton-Brown mainly investigates Miscanthus, Agronomy, Miscanthus giganteus, Biomass and Energy crop. His Miscanthus study typically links adjacent topics like Carbon sequestration. John Clifton-Brown works mostly in the field of Agronomy, limiting it down to topics relating to Miscanthus sinensis and, in certain cases, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Dry matter, Hybrid and Perennial plant, as a part of the same area of interest.

John Clifton-Brown performs integrative Biomass and Energy source research in his work. His Energy crop research incorporates themes from Agroforestry and Crop yield. His study in Crop yield is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Carbon mitigation and Global Change Biology.

His most cited work include:

• Miscanthus : European experience with a novel energy crop (789 citations)
• Full accounting of the greenhouse gas (CO2, N2O, CH4) budget of nine European grassland sites (372 citations)
• Costs of producing miscanthus and switchgrass for bioenergy in Illinois (355 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Miscanthus, Agronomy, Biomass, Bioenergy and Energy crop. The study incorporates disciplines such as Perennial plant, Botany and Agroforestry in addition to Miscanthus. His research on Agronomy frequently links to adjacent areas such as Miscanthus sacchariflorus.

His work in Biomass covers topics such as Water-use efficiency which are related to areas like Transpiration. His Energy crop study incorporates themes from Environmental protection, Panicum virgatum, Carbon sequestration, Crop yield and Interception. His Carbon sequestration course of study focuses on Soil carbon and Grassland.

He most often published in these fields:

• Miscanthus (86.26%)
• Agronomy (64.12%)
• Biomass (43.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

• Miscanthus (86.26%)
• Agronomy (64.12%)
• Bioenergy (34.35%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Miscanthus, Agronomy, Bioenergy, Biomass and Perennial plant. He is involved in the study of Miscanthus that focuses on Miscanthus giganteus in particular. His work on Water-use efficiency as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Energy source, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Bioenergy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Willow and Cultivar. John Clifton-Brown interconnects Hectare, Methane yield, Methane, Anaerobic digestion and Fibre content in the investigation of issues within Biomass. His studies in Perennial plant integrate themes in fields like Biomass and Hybrid.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Breeding progress and preparedness for mass‐scale deployment of perennial lignocellulosic biomass crops switchgrass, miscanthus, willow and poplar (48 citations)
• Pilot-scale production of xylo-oligosaccharides and fermentable sugars from Miscanthus using steam explosion pretreatment (18 citations)
• Harvest date and leaf:stem ratio determine methane hectare yield of miscanthus biomass (18 citations)

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

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Botany

John Clifton-Brown mainly focuses on Miscanthus, Biomass, Agroforestry, Agronomy and Bioenergy. John Clifton-Brown connects Miscanthus with Enzymatic hydrolysis in his study. His Bioenergy study frequently involves adjacent topics like Germplasm.

His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Willow and Panicum virgatum. His work carried out in the field of Perennial plant brings together such families of science as Hybrid and Abiotic component. His work deals with themes such as Water quality, Biogas and Agricultural land, which intersect with Gross margin.
