Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Nitrogen fixation, Agriculture, Legume and Crop. Mark B. Peoples interconnects Agroforestry, Soil fertility and Rhizobia in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Perennial plant, Cropping system, Plant nutrition and Crop rotation.

His Nitrogen fixation research incorporates elements of Cultivar, Dry matter, Ecosystem and Rhizobium. His studies deal with areas such as Enzyme assay and Enzyme as well as Agriculture. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Crop, narrowing it down to issues related to the Sativum, and often Lablab purpureus and Weed control.

His most cited work include:

  • Global inputs of biological nitrogen fixation in agricultural systems (886 citations)
  • Biological nitrogen fixation: An efficient source of nitrogen for sustainable agricultural production? (626 citations)
  • Legume versus fertilizer sources of nitrogen: ecological tradeoffs and human needs (424 citations)

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

Mark B. Peoples mostly deals with Agronomy, Nitrogen fixation, Legume, Pasture and Crop. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Rhizobia and Plant nutrition. His Nitrogen fixation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dry matter, Botany, Agriculture, Rhizobium and Nitrate.

Mark B. Peoples has included themes like Petiole, Fertilizer, Crop rotation, Forage and Green manure in his Legume study. His Pasture research integrates issues from Cover crop, Agroforestry, Grazing and Irrigation. His research in Crop intersects with topics in Yield, Crop yield, Soil fertility and Canola.

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Agronomy (77.27%)
  • Legume (28.98%)
  • Sowing (18.18%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Legume, Sowing, Crop and Pasture. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rhizobia and Soil water. In his study, Nitrogen fixation, Rhizobium, Plant physiology and Lupinus angustifolius is strongly linked to Microbial inoculant, which falls under the umbrella field of Rhizobia.

His work carried out in the field of Legume brings together such families of science as Medicago sativa, Forage and Ecosystem. Mark B. Peoples works mostly in the field of Sowing, limiting it down to topics relating to Trifolium subterraneum and, in certain cases, Soil fertility. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nutrient and Mixed farming.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Break crops and rotations for wheat (139 citations)
  • Going where no grains have gone before: From early to mid-succession (60 citations)
  • Methodologies for estimating nitrogen transfer between legumes and companion species in agro-ecosystems: A review of 15N-enriched techniques (56 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Mark B. Peoples mainly focuses on Agronomy, Legume, Nitrogen fixation, Ecosystem and Ecology. Mark B. Peoples studies Crop, a branch of Agronomy. He works mostly in the field of Legume, limiting it down to topics relating to Canola and, in certain cases, Crop yield, Water use, Pasture, Horticulture and Yield, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Nitrogen fixation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vicia faba, Soil nitrogen and Microbial inoculant. Mark B. Peoples combines subjects such as Abundance, Forage and Soil retrogression and degradation with his study of Ecosystem. His Ecology research incorporates themes from Agroforestry, 15n isotope and Pruning.
