Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Agriculture

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Soil contamination, Bioavailability, Soil water and Biodegradation. His studies deal with areas such as Contamination, Bioremediation, Environmental remediation, Pollutant and Pyrene as well as Environmental chemistry. His work deals with themes such as Soil biology, Pesticide, Earthworm and Phenanthrene, which intersect with Soil contamination.

His research integrates issues of Environmental engineering, Environmental protection and Contaminated land in his study of Bioavailability. His Soil water research includes elements of Organic matter and Biota. His research in Biodegradation intersects with topics in Mineralization, Metabolic pathway, Metabolism, Phenol and Microbial biodegradation.

His most cited work include:

  • Defining bioavailability and bioaccessibility of contaminated soil and sediment is complicated. (500 citations)
  • Bound pesticide residues in soils: a review. (496 citations)
  • Bioavailability of persistent organic pollutants in soils and sediments--a perspective on mechanisms, consequences and assessment. (471 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Biodegradation, Soil contamination and Phenanthrene. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates themes from Extraction, Mineralization, Pyrene, Contamination and Bioavailability. His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Organic matter and Incubation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Microbial biodegradation and Naphthalene. His Soil contamination study also includes fields such as

  • Environmental remediation most often made with reference to Bioremediation,
  • Lumbricus rubellus that connect with fields like Arsenic. The various areas that Kirk T. Semple examines in his Phenanthrene study include Desorption, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and Hydrocarbon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (61.41%)
  • Soil water (41.95%)
  • Biodegradation (24.83%)

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

  • Environmental chemistry (61.41%)
  • Soil water (41.95%)
  • Digestate (5.70%)

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

Kirk T. Semple mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Digestate, Biodegradation and Bioavailability. Kirk T. Semple combines subjects such as Estuary and Contamination, Environmental remediation with his study of Environmental chemistry. His Soil water research incorporates elements of Biomass, Microbial population biology, Grassland and Dichloromethane.

His study explores the link between Biodegradation and topics such as Microbial biodegradation that cross with problems in Legume. Kirk T. Semple focuses mostly in the field of Bioavailability, narrowing it down to topics relating to Desorption and, in certain cases, Malic acid, Rhizosphere, Pollutant and Contaminated land. His Phenanthrene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil contamination and Mineralization.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Beyond the obvious: Environmental health implications of polar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (68 citations)
  • Soil contamination in China:Current priorities, defining background levels and standards for heavy metals (24 citations)
  • The effect of acidogenic and methanogenic conditions on the availability and stability of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in a digestate (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental chemistry, Environmental remediation, Soil water, Estuary and Environmental planning. His Environmental chemistry study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Pyrene. Kirk T. Semple has researched Environmental remediation in several fields, including International agency and Carcinogen.

His study in the field of Contaminated soils also crosses realms of Positive correlation, Abstract knowledge and Polar. His Environmental planning study combines topics in areas such as Circular economy and Contaminated land. Food security, Soil quality, Soil contamination and Soil biology is closely connected to Land use in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Contaminated land.
