Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Agriculture
Soil water
Ecology

Malcolm E. Sumner mostly deals with Soil water, Mineralogy, Soil pH, Ultisol and Agronomy. His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Gypsum and Environmental protection. His work carried out in the field of Gypsum brings together such families of science as Soil science, Soil fertility, Soil management, Subsoil and Soil horizon.

His research investigates the connection between Mineralogy and topics such as Topsoil that intersect with problems in Organic matter. His Soil pH research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry and Lime. In general Agronomy, his work in Phytotoxicity is often linked to Toxicity linking many areas of study.

His most cited work include:

Cation exchange capacity and exchange coefficients. (987 citations)
Use of Gypsum on Soils: A Review (364 citations)
Cadmium Sorption and Transport in Variable Charge Soils: A Review (245 citations)

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

His main research concerns Soil water, Agronomy, Environmental chemistry, Mineralogy and Gypsum. His Soil water research entails a greater understanding of Soil science. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Sludge, Nutrient and Horticulture.

His studies deal with areas such as Fly ash, Soil contamination and Nitrification as well as Environmental chemistry. His research in Mineralogy intersects with topics in Soil chemistry and Analytical chemistry. His research investigates the connection with Gypsum and areas like Subsoil which intersect with concerns in Topsoil, Nitrate and Kaolinite.

He most often published in these fields:

Soil water (40.80%)
Agronomy (30.40%)
Environmental chemistry (26.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2018)?

Environmental chemistry (26.40%)
Soil water (40.80%)
Soil science (16.00%)

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

Malcolm E. Sumner mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Soil science, Agronomy and Fly ash. His work deals with themes such as Ultisol, Leaching, Soil organic matter, Nitrogen fixation and Soil pH, which intersect with Environmental chemistry. His Soil pH research incorporates themes from Soil classification and Oxisol.

Soil water is closely attributed to Physical geography in his research. Geotechnical engineering and Topsoil is closely connected to Gypsum in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Soil science. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Nutrient, Soil test and Industrial waste.

Between 2002 and 2018, his most popular works were:

Composition and element solubility of magnetic and non-magnetic fly ash fractions. (157 citations)
Soil acidification: the world story. (92 citations)
FORMULATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND WASTE MIXTURES FOR LAND APPLICATION (22 citations)

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

Agriculture
