Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

Her primary areas of study are Soil organic matter, Soil water, Soil carbon, Ecology and Environmental chemistry. The Soil organic matter study combines topics in areas such as Soil biology, Organic matter, Soil fertility, Biogeochemical cycle and Plant litter. Her work in Plant litter addresses subjects such as Botany, which are connected to disciplines such as Isotopes of carbon.

Her research integrates issues of Hydrology and Drainage basin in her study of Soil water. As part of the same scientific family, Kate Lajtha usually focuses on Soil carbon, concentrating on Agronomy and intersecting with Soil respiration, Nutrient, Photosynthesis and Shrub. Many of her studies on Ecology apply to Bay as well.

Her most cited work include:

  • Stable isotopes in ecology and environmental science (1622 citations)
  • Regional nitrogen budgets and riverine N & P fluxes for the drainages to the North Atlantic Ocean: Natural and human influences (1383 citations)
  • Couplings of watersheds and coastal waters: sources and consequences of nutrient enrichment in Waquoit Bay, Massachusetts (495 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Soil water, Soil organic matter, Environmental chemistry, Ecology and Soil carbon. Her Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fractionation, Ecosystem and Botany. Her studies in Ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Drainage basin, Juniper, Canopy and Nitrogen cycle.

Her Soil organic matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil fertility, Organic matter, Agronomy and Plant litter. Her Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomass and Bulk density. Her Dissolved organic carbon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydrology and Experimental forest.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (33.99%)
  • Soil organic matter (28.57%)
  • Environmental chemistry (25.62%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Soil water (33.99%)
  • Soil carbon (21.67%)
  • Soil organic matter (28.57%)

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

Kate Lajtha mainly focuses on Soil water, Soil carbon, Soil organic matter, Environmental chemistry and Ecosystem. Her Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Environmental engineering, Deciduous, Temperate forest, Carbon cycle and Litter. Her Soil carbon research integrates issues from Global change, Agronomy and Environmental resource management.

Her Soil organic matter research includes elements of Soil fertility, Organic matter, Soil respiration and Plant litter. Her Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Biomass and Priming. Ecosystem is the subject of her research, which falls under Ecology.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls (206 citations)
  • Early stage litter decomposition across biomes (83 citations)
  • The detrital input and removal treatment (DIRT) network: Insights into soil carbon stabilization. (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

Kate Lajtha mostly deals with Soil organic matter, Soil carbon, Environmental chemistry, Soil water and Litter. The concepts of her Soil organic matter study are interwoven with issues in Organic matter, Soil chemistry and Cycling. Her work deals with themes such as Biomass, Agronomy, Soil respiration and Plant litter, which intersect with Soil carbon.

Her studies deal with areas such as Ecology and Soil fertility as well as Agronomy. Her Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Temperate forest and Ecosystem. Her study focuses on the intersection of Ecosystem and fields such as Biogeochemical cycle with connections in the field of Reactive nitrogen, Biogeochemistry, Nutrient, Ecological succession and Soil health.
