Kevin R. Tate

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Carbon dioxide

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Pasture, Ecology and Organic matter. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shrubland, Soil fertility, Botany, Forest floor and Afforestation. His Soil water study typically links adjacent topics like Ecosystem.

His Pasture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil carbon, Greenhouse gas and Water content. His Water content study incorporates themes from Soil texture and Grazing. His Organic matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass, Mineralogy and Environmental chemistry.

His most cited work include:

• Soil surface CO2 flux as an index of soil respiration in situ: a comparison of two chamber methods. (170 citations)
• Modelling nitrous oxide emissions from dairy-grazed pastures (168 citations)
• Effects of Plant Species Diversity and Composition on Nitrogen Cycling and the Trace Gas Balance of Soils (111 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Soil water, Agronomy, Pasture, Soil organic matter and Soil carbon. His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Botany, Pinus radiata and Water content. He has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Soil biology, Loam and Soil fertility.

Kevin R. Tate interconnects Ecosystem, Nitrogen cycle, Afforestation, Nutrient and Grazing in the investigation of issues within Pasture. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil horizon, Organic matter, Mineralization and Gleysol in addition to Soil organic matter. The concepts of his Soil carbon study are interwoven with issues in Land use, land-use change and forestry, Hydrology, Forestry, Grassland and Vegetation.

He most often published in these fields:

• Soil water (46.51%)
• Agronomy (31.40%)
• Pasture (26.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

• Methane (12.79%)
• Environmental chemistry (18.60%)
• Biofilter (6.98%)

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

Kevin R. Tate mostly deals with Methane, Environmental chemistry, Biofilter, Soil water and Greenhouse gas. His Methane research includes elements of Biogas and Environmental engineering. His work deals with themes such as Urea and Agronomy, which intersect with Biogas.

Soil water is the subject of his research, which falls under Ecology. Kevin R. Tate works mostly in the field of Greenhouse gas, limiting it down to topics relating to Land use, land-use change and forestry and, in certain cases, Biomass, Soil management, Soil organic matter and Environmental protection, as a part of the same area of interest. His Pasture research includes themes of Aeration and Pine forest.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Soil methane oxidation and land-use change – from process to mitigation (107 citations)
• Response of methanotrophic communities to afforestation and reforestation in New Zealand (43 citations)
• Quantifying the climate-change consequences of shifting land use between forest and agriculture (33 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Carbon dioxide

Kevin R. Tate mainly focuses on Greenhouse gas, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Temperate forest, Agroforestry and Soil carbon. In his research on the topic of Greenhouse gas, Carbon sequestration, Nitrogen cycle and Hydrology is strongly related with Climate change. His Land use, land-use change and forestry research incorporates elements of Biomass, Soil management, Soil organic matter and Environmental protection.

His Temperate forest study deals with Shrubland intersecting with Soil water. His Soil carbon study combines topics in areas such as Grassland, Agronomy, Mineralization, Nitrogen and Grazed pasture. He combines subjects such as Moisture, Soil properties, Animal science and Water content with his study of Grassland.
