Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Organic chemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Denitrification, Agronomy, Soil water, Environmental chemistry and Groundwater. His Denitrification research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nitrate and Biogeochemical cycle. His Nitrate research focuses on subjects like Hydrology, which are linked to Phosphorus.

His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nitrous oxide, Ammonia and Temperate climate. His Soil water research includes elements of Pasture and Water content. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbon dioxide and Nitrogen.

His most cited work include:

  • Management, regulation and environmental impacts of nitrogen fertilization in northwestern Europe under the Nitrates Directive; a benchmark study (116 citations)
  • Modelling soil phosphorus decline: Expectations of Water Framework Directive policies (98 citations)
  • Denitrification potential in subsoils: A mechanism to reduce nitrate leaching to groundwater (97 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Soil water, Denitrification, Environmental chemistry and Groundwater. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Slurry and Nitrification, Leaching, Nitrogen. As part of one scientific family, Karl G. Richards deals mainly with the area of Soil water, narrowing it down to issues related to the Water content, and often Infiltration.

His Denitrification research incorporates elements of Soil science, Soil pH and Dissolved organic carbon. His study in Environmental chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Organic matter, Phosphorus and Ammonium. His Groundwater research includes themes of Nitrate, Biogeochemical cycle and Subsoil.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (28.85%)
  • Soil water (25.96%)
  • Denitrification (22.12%)

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

  • Environmental chemistry (21.15%)
  • Nitrogen (18.75%)
  • Soil water (25.96%)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Nitrogen, Soil water, Phosphorus and Nitrification. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Leaching and Ammonium. The concepts of his Nitrogen study are interwoven with issues in Urea, Nitrous oxide, Grazing and Animal science.

His studies deal with areas such as Denitrification, Pasture and Water content as well as Soil water. His research in Denitrification intersects with topics in Soil pH and Nitrogen cycle. While the research belongs to areas of Nitrification, Karl G. Richards spends his time largely on the problem of Lolium perenne, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cycling.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Anaerobic digestion of agricultural manure and biomass – Critical indicators of risk and knowledge gaps (24 citations)
  • Microbial Contamination of Fresh Produce: What, Where, and How? (23 citations)
  • Exploring nitrogen indicators of farm performance among farm types across several European case studies (22 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Organic chemistry

Karl G. Richards mainly focuses on Manure, Nitrous oxide, Nitrogen, Agriculture and Grazing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Common Agricultural Policy, Arable land, Livestock, Coccidiosis and Sustainability in addition to Manure. His Nitrous oxide research incorporates themes from Calcium ammonium nitrate, Soil phosphorus, Grassland, Carbon and Animal science.

His research integrates issues of Yield, Urease Inhibitors, Pollutant and Ammonia in his study of Calcium ammonium nitrate. His Agriculture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass and Municipal solid waste. He has researched Grazing in several fields, including Dairy cattle, Urine deposit and Nitrification inhibitors.
