What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Agriculture

Soil water, Agronomy, Soil contamination, Environmental chemistry and Partition coefficient are his primary areas of study. His Soil water study is associated with Soil science. Neil M.J. Crout has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Sludge and Water content.

His research integrates issues of Phytoremediation and Soil conditioner in his study of Soil contamination. His research investigates the connection between Environmental chemistry and topics such as Organic matter that intersect with problems in Soil organic matter, Agrostis capillaris and Humus. His study in Partition coefficient is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil parameters, Hordeum vulgare, Contamination, Soil characteristics and Soil to plant transfer.

His most cited work include:

  • Assessing potential risk of heavy metal exposure from consumption of home-produced vegetables by urban populations. (259 citations)

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

Neil M.J. Crout focuses on Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Agronomy, Contamination and Ecology. His Soil water study incorporates themes from Organic matter and Pore water pressure. He combines subjects such as Soil fertility and Pollution with his study of Pore water pressure.

The concepts of his Environmental chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Lability, Partition coefficient and Humus. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Canopy. His work on Water potential is typically connected to Tomography as part of general Soil science study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil water (30.56%)
  • Environmental chemistry (20.14%)
  • Agronomy (17.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Soil water (30.56%)
  • Environmental chemistry (20.14%)
  • Bioavailability (6.25%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Bioavailability, Statistics and Phenology. His research in Soil water intersects with topics in Ion exchange and Uranium oxide. Sewage treatment is closely connected to Lability in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Environmental chemistry.

His Statistics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Selection and Global change. His Grazing research is under the purview of Agronomy. His Pollution research includes elements of Contamination and Environmental protection.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Quantification of root water uptake in soil using X‐ray computed tomography and image‐based modelling (19 citations)
  • Changes in CO2 during Ocean Anoxic Event 1d indicate similarities to other carbon cycle perturbations (14 citations)
  • Fit-for-purpose modelling of radiocaesium soil-to-plant transfer for nuclear emergencies: a review. (13 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Statistics, Phenology, Calibration, Climate change and Greenhouse gas. The Statistics study combines topics in areas such as Plant phenology and Crop. The study incorporates disciplines such as Experimental data and Target population in addition to Phenology.

His Calibration study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Extrapolation. His studies deal with areas such as δ13C, Carbon cycle and Atmospheric sciences as well as Climate change. His work carried out in the field of Greenhouse gas brings together such families of science as Peat, Swamp, Tropical peat, Forestry and Wetland.
