Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Biomass, Panicum virgatum, Forage and Grazing. His research integrates issues of Plantago, Nutrient and Filter strip in his study of Agronomy. His Biomass study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Runoff curve number, Poaceae and Tiller.

His studies in Panicum virgatum integrate themes in fields like Productivity, Water use and Leaf area index. His study in Forage is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Perennial plant, Field experiment and Pasture. As part of one scientific family, Matt A. Sanderson deals mainly with the area of Grazing, narrowing it down to issues related to the Red Clover, and often Lolium perenne, Poa pratensis, Trifolium repens, Festuca arundinacea and Dactylis glomerata.

His most cited work include:

  • Biomass Yield and Biofuel Quality of Switchgrass Harvested in Fall or Spring (326 citations)
  • Biomass Production of ‘Alamo’ Switchgrass in Response to Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Row Spacing (241 citations)
  • Perennial Forages as Second Generation Bioenergy Crops (198 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Forage, Grazing, Cultivar and Pasture. His Agronomy study often links to related topics such as Panicum virgatum. His work in the fields of Neutral Detergent Fiber overlaps with other areas such as Composition.

His Grazing research incorporates themes from Agroforestry, Rangeland, Livestock and Vegetation. His study looks at the relationship between Cultivar and topics such as Cichorium, which overlap with Plantago. Matt A. Sanderson focuses mostly in the field of Pasture, narrowing it down to topics relating to Canopy and, in certain cases, Bulk density.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (65.49%)
  • Forage (39.82%)
  • Grazing (29.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Agronomy (65.49%)
  • Agroforestry (17.70%)
  • Forage (39.82%)

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

Matt A. Sanderson spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Agroforestry, Forage, Grazing and Rangeland. Matt A. Sanderson interconnects Ecosystem, Ecosystem services, Cropping, Agriculture and Livestock in the investigation of issues within Agroforestry. Ecology covers Matt A. Sanderson research in Forage.

His research in Grazing intersects with topics in Resource, Vegetation and Environmental resource management. Within one scientific family, Matt A. Sanderson focuses on topics pertaining to Species richness under Dactylis glomerata, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Poa pratensis and Pasture. The study incorporates disciplines such as Perennial plant, Water use, Panicum virgatum and Water-use efficiency in addition to Growing season.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Diversification and ecosystem services for conservation agriculture: Outcomes from pastures and integrated crop-livestock systems (79 citations)
  • Physiology and Developmental Morphology (61 citations)
  • Extent of Kentucky Bluegrass and Its Effect on Native Plant Species Diversity and Ecosystem Services in the Northern Great Plains of the United States (46 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Matt A. Sanderson mainly focuses on Agronomy, Agroforestry, Forage, Legume and Biomass. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Soil water and Panicum virgatum. Matt A. Sanderson has included themes like Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Ecosystem services, Invasive species and Species diversity in his Agroforestry study.

His Forage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Warm season, Habitat, Weed control, Cultural control and Soil conservation. His work deals with themes such as Weed, Red Clover, Festuca pratensis, Crop yield and Trifolium repens, which intersect with Legume. His study in the field of Bioenergy is also linked to topics like Pascopyrum.
