Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Surface runoff

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, Soil water, Surface runoff, Tillage and No-till farming. His Hydrology research includes themes of Total organic carbon and Lumbricus terrestris. Lloyd B. Owens studies Soil carbon which is a part of Soil water.

His Tillage study is focused on Agronomy in general. He focuses mostly in the field of No-till farming, narrowing it down to matters related to Earthworm and, in some cases, Growing season. His Manure study combines topics in areas such as Soil type, Plough, Pasture and Cambisol.

His most cited work include:

  • Distribution of light and heavy fractions of soil organic carbon as related to land use and tillage practice (176 citations)
  • Transport of labile carbon in runoff as affected by land use and rainfall characteristics (156 citations)
  • Initial Storm Effects on Macropore Transport of Surface-Applied Chemicals in No-Till Soil (149 citations)

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

Lloyd B. Owens mostly deals with Hydrology, Surface runoff, Agronomy, Soil water and Tillage. His Hydrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pasture and Animal science. His Surface runoff research focuses on Alachlor and how it connects with Glyphosate.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Nitrate, Nutrient and Leaching in addition to Agronomy. His work in Soil water addresses issues such as Water content, which are connected to fields such as Ultisol. The Tillage study combines topics in areas such as Carbon sequestration, Soil type and Atrazine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (52.33%)
  • Surface runoff (46.51%)
  • Agronomy (38.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2018)?

  • Surface runoff (46.51%)
  • Agronomy (38.37%)
  • Hydrology (52.33%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Surface runoff, Agronomy, Hydrology, Watershed and Nutrient. His Surface runoff research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Grazed pasture, Soil water, Pasture and Total organic carbon. He interconnects Compost and Growing season in the investigation of issues within Hydrology.

His work deals with themes such as Soil science, Grazing and Animal science, which intersect with Watershed. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including No-till farming, Feces and Litter. His studies deal with areas such as Soil organic matter, Soil carbon and Fertilizer as well as Tillage.

Between 2008 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Effect of No‐Till and Extended Rotation on Nutrient Losses in Surface Runoff (39 citations)
  • Prescribed Grazing on Pasturelands (34 citations)
  • Standardized research protocols enable transdisciplinary research of climate variation impacts in corn production systems (27 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Agronomy, Surface runoff, Nutrient, Manure and Watershed. His research in Agronomy is mostly concerned with Grazing. His Surface runoff study incorporates themes from Growing season, Overwintering, Beef cattle and Plant cover, Vegetation.

Lloyd B. Owens has researched Manure in several fields, including Fertilizer, Crop, Sowing, Slurry and Litter. His Watershed study results in a more complete grasp of Hydrology. Soil carbon, Cover crop and No-till farming is closely connected to Tillage in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Soil organic matter.
