Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Nicholas B. Comerford mainly focuses on Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Podzol, Environmental chemistry and Mineralization. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient, Plant nutrition, Slash Pine and Soil horizon. His research in Soil horizon intersects with topics in Organic acid, Humus, Entisol and Bulk soil.

His studies deal with areas such as Soil carbon, Ultisol, Oxisol, Water content and Soil chemistry as well as Soil organic matter. His research on Podzol frequently links to adjacent areas such as Oxalate. His Mineralization study deals with the bigger picture of Soil water.

His most cited work include:

  • Low‐Molecular‐Weight Organic Acids in Selected Forest Soils of the Southeastern USA (354 citations)
  • Phosphorus and Aluminum Release from a Spodic Horizon Mediated by Organic Acids (179 citations)
  • Influence of oxalate and soil organic matter on sorption and desorption of phosphate onto a spodic horizon (127 citations)

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

Nicholas B. Comerford mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil water, Nutrient, Botany and Environmental chemistry. Nicholas B. Comerford has included themes like Soil organic matter, Soil carbon, Soil fertility and Slash Pine in his Agronomy study. In general Soil organic matter study, his work on Bulk soil often relates to the realm of North central, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His study looks at the relationship between Soil water and topics such as Fertilizer, which overlap with Agroforestry, Diameter at breast height and Water potential. His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Productivity, Biomass and Sowing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mineralogy, Phosphate and Oxisol in addition to Environmental chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (42.61%)
  • Soil water (32.17%)
  • Nutrient (22.61%)

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

  • Agronomy (42.61%)
  • Soil water (32.17%)
  • Soil health (4.35%)

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

Nicholas B. Comerford mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Soil health, Soil carbon and Ecosystem services. His research in Agronomy is mostly focused on Litter. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nutrient, Tillage and Extraction methods.

Nicholas B. Comerford combines subjects such as Soil fertility and Slash-and-char with his study of Soil health. His Soil carbon study incorporates themes from Leaching, Carbon sequestration, Soil structure and Forest floor, Ecosystem. His Soil organic matter research integrates issues from Phytic acid, Botany and Soil horizon.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sorption and desorption of phosphate on biochar and biochar–soil mixtures (69 citations)
  • An exploratory analysis of phosphorus transformations in tropical soils using structural equation modeling (45 citations)
  • Grazing depresses soil carbon storage through changing plant biomass and composition in a Tibetan alpine meadow (45 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Environmental chemistry, Phosphate, Biochar and Soil water. His Agronomy research includes themes of Animal activity, Biomass and Solum. Nicholas B. Comerford has researched Environmental chemistry in several fields, including Sawdust and Extraction methods.

His Phosphate research includes elements of Hydroxide and Tropical soils. His research in Biochar intersects with topics in Plant nutrition and Soil fertility. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ecosystem and Recreation.
