  • 2005 - Leo M. Walsh Soil Fertility Distinguished Lectureship, American Society of Agronomy

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Statistics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Soil organic matter and Nitrogen cycle. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Nutrient cycle and Agriculture, Agricultural land, Arable land. His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Animal waste and Drainage.

The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Nutrient, Ecosystem and Soil chemistry. His study in Soil organic matter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Organic matter, Soil carbon, Mineralization, Manure and Loam. His Nitrogen cycle study is concerned with Nitrogen in general.

His most cited work include:

  • Significant Acidification in Major Chinese Croplands (1753 citations)
  • Enhanced nitrogen deposition over China (1269 citations)
  • Phosphorus Leaching from Soils Containing Different Phosphorus Concentrations in the Broadbalk Experiment (668 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Nitrogen and Agriculture. Keith Goulding interconnects Soil organic matter, Nitrate, Leaching and Arable land in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. Keith Goulding has included themes like Organic matter, Potassium and Grassland in his Soil water study.

His Environmental chemistry research incorporates themes from Ecology, Ecosystem, Soil pH and Nitrogen cycle. Nitrogen is closely attributed to Environmental engineering in his work. His studies deal with areas such as Agroforestry, Nitrous oxide, Natural resource economics, Greenhouse gas and Sustainability as well as Agriculture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (30.23%)
  • Soil water (26.84%)
  • Environmental chemistry (22.32%)

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

  • Agronomy (30.23%)
  • Environmental chemistry (22.32%)
  • Nitrogen (18.64%)

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

Keith Goulding focuses on Agronomy, Environmental chemistry, Nitrogen, Ecosystem and Agriculture. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Soil classification, Soil water and Soil pH. His research in Soil water is mostly focused on Soil organic matter.

His Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Soil acidification, Soil respiration and Precipitation. Nitrogen cycle is the focus of his Nitrogen research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agroforestry, Nutrient, Surface runoff and Greenhouse gas in addition to Agriculture.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Soil acidification and the importance of liming agricultural soils with particular reference to the United Kingdom. (208 citations)
  • Quantifying atmospheric nitrogen deposition through a nationwide monitoring network across China (201 citations)
  • Stabilization of atmospheric nitrogen deposition in China over the past decade (116 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Statistics

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Deposition, Nitrogen and Environmental chemistry. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil water, Soil pH, Soil classification and Arable land. His work in the fields of Soil organic matter, such as Soil biodiversity, overlaps with other areas such as Extracellular polymeric substance.

As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Deposition, concentrating on Nitrogen deposition and frequently concerns with Climate change, Hydrology and Precipitation. His Nitrogen research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Animal science, Urease and Growing season. While the research belongs to areas of Environmental chemistry, Keith Goulding spends his time largely on the problem of Particulates, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Aquatic ecosystem, Reactive nitrogen and Sichuan basin.
