2007 - Fellow of the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Soil organic matter, Soil water, Soil carbon, Agronomy and Soil science. His Soil organic matter research incorporates themes from Organic matter, Tillage, Conventional tillage, Soil structure and No-till farming. His No-till farming research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil management and Soil quality.

His studies deal with areas such as Hydrology, Ecosystem, Environmental chemistry and Clay minerals as well as Soil water. His studies in Soil carbon integrate themes in fields like Carbon sequestration and Grazing. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Soil type and Environmental engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • Stabilization mechanisms of soil organic matter: Implications for C-saturation of soils (2503 citations)
  • Soil macroaggregate turnover and microaggregate formation: a mechanism for C sequestration under no-tillage agriculture (1795 citations)
  • Aggregation and soil organic matter accumulation in cultivated and native grassland soils (1152 citations)

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

Keith Paustian mostly deals with Soil carbon, Soil water, Soil organic matter, Greenhouse gas and Agronomy. His Soil carbon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Carbon sequestration, Agroforestry, Climate change and Land use. His research in Soil water focuses on subjects like Tillage, which are connected to Crop rotation.

He combines subjects such as Organic matter, Conventional tillage, Soil structure, Soil management and No-till farming with his study of Soil organic matter. As a member of one scientific family, Keith Paustian mostly works in the field of Greenhouse gas, focusing on Agriculture and, on occasion, Environmental protection. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in DayCent and Biofuel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil carbon (39.09%)
  • Soil water (30.59%)
  • Soil organic matter (28.61%)

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

  • Greenhouse gas (26.35%)
  • Soil carbon (39.09%)
  • Agronomy (22.95%)

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

His primary areas of study are Greenhouse gas, Soil carbon, Agronomy, Soil organic matter and Agriculture. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Greenhouse gas, Carbon sequestration and Crop rotation is strongly linked to Agroforestry. His research on Soil carbon also deals with topics like

  • No-till farming that connect with fields like Soil quality,
  • Soil biodiversity that connect with fields like Soil management.

The various areas that Keith Paustian examines in his Agronomy study include DayCent and Agroecosystem. In his work, Soil texture is strongly intertwined with Organic matter, which is a subfield of Soil organic matter. The Agriculture study combines topics in areas such as Natural resource economics, Soil health, Current and Environmental protection.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate-smart soils (644 citations)
  • Soil carbon 4 per mille (559 citations)
  • Global change pressures on soils from land use and management. (294 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Statistics

Keith Paustian focuses on Soil carbon, Soil organic matter, Agronomy, Land use, land-use change and forestry and Soil water. His research integrates issues of Environmental protection, Agriculture, Soil health, Carbon sequestration and Soil horizon in his study of Soil carbon. His research in Carbon sequestration intersects with topics in Agroforestry and Greenhouse gas.

Keith Paustian has researched Soil organic matter in several fields, including Soil texture, Organic matter and Vegetation. His studies in Land use, land-use change and forestry integrate themes in fields like Biofuel, Bioenergy and Ecosystem services. His Soil water research is within the category of Soil science.
