Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Niall P. McNamara mainly investigates Agronomy, Ecology, Soil carbon, Soil organic matter and Peat. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Miscanthus, Bioenergy and Slash-and-char. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Biomass, Ecosystem services and Range is frequently linked to work in Context and Balance, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His Soil carbon study incorporates themes from Soil structure, Greenhouse gas and Environmental resource management. He combines subjects such as Soil fertility and Soil respiration with his study of Soil organic matter. His Peat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecosystem, Physical geography and Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of acute gamma irradiation on chemical, physical and biological properties of soils (282 citations)
  • The effect of biochar addition on N2O and CO2 emissions from a sandy loam soil – The role of soil aeration (277 citations)
  • Integrating plant-soil interactions into global carbon cycle models (194 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil carbon, Bioenergy, Greenhouse gas and Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Miscanthus, Soil respiration, Ecosystem respiration, Short rotation coppice and Nutrient, which intersect with Agronomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil organic matter, Environmental chemistry and Carbon sequestration in addition to Soil carbon.

His research integrates issues of Agroforestry, Natural resource economics, Land use, land-use change and forestry and Arable land in his study of Bioenergy. The various areas that Niall P. McNamara examines in his Greenhouse gas study include Climate change and Environmental resource management. In his work, Methanotroph is strongly intertwined with Botany, which is a subfield of Soil water.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (30.46%)
  • Soil carbon (29.14%)
  • Bioenergy (23.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (30.46%)
  • Soil water (19.21%)
  • Soil carbon (29.14%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Soil carbon, Environmental chemistry and Miscanthus. His Agronomy research includes elements of Short rotation coppice and Greenhouse gas. His Soil water study is focused on Ecology in general.

His Soil carbon study combines topics in areas such as Carbon sequestration, Soil organic matter, Carbon cycle and Land use, land-use change and forestry. His study on Environmental chemistry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Methane which is related to area like Peat and Remote sensing,
  • Nitrous oxide together with Carbon dioxide and Crop residue. Miscanthus is the subject of his research, which falls under Bioenergy.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Changes in soil organic carbon under perennial crops. (16 citations)
  • Microbial responses to warming enhance soil carbon loss following translocation across a tropical forest elevation gradient (8 citations)
  • Sticky Dead Microbes:rapid abiotic retention of microbial necromass in soil (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil organic matter, Miscanthus and Bioenergy. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Short rotation coppice, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Greenhouse gas and Soil horizon. He has researched Greenhouse gas in several fields, including Soil water and Ecosystem.

Soil carbon is a subfield of Ecology that Niall P. McNamara explores. The Soil organic matter study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry, Plant cover and Abiotic component. His Miscanthus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Carbon sequestration, Energy crop and Bulk soil.
