Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Peter Sale mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Soil pH, Soil organic matter and Subsoil. He has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Plant nutrition and Plant physiology. His Soil water study incorporates themes from Tropics and Shoot.

His Soil pH study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ultisol, Soil chemistry and Bulk soil. Soil health is the focus of his Soil organic matter research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Grain yield, Yield, Plant growth and Soil properties in addition to Subsoil.

His most cited work include:

  • Changes in chemical and biological properties of a sodic clay subsoil with addition of organic amendments (98 citations)
  • A discussion of the methods for comparing the relative effectiveness of phosphate fertilizers varying in solubility. (74 citations)
  • Changes in soil physical properties and crop root growth in dense sodic subsoil following incorporation of organic amendments (73 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil water, Pasture, Subsoil and Phosphorite. The Agronomy study which covers Nutrient that intersects with Plant physiology. In general Soil water, his work in Soil organic matter and Soil pH is often linked to Lime linking many areas of study.

His Pasture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Environmental management system, Soil classification, Stocking, Stolon and Grazing. His work in Subsoil tackles topics such as Topsoil which are related to areas like Soil horizon. His Phosphorite research includes themes of Hydrology, Salinity and Leaching.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (65.10%)
  • Soil water (34.23%)
  • Pasture (20.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Agronomy (65.10%)
  • Subsoil (16.78%)
  • Soil water (34.23%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Subsoil, Soil water, Nutrient and Soil pH. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant physiology, Topsoil and Soil horizon. His Subsoil research incorporates elements of Organic matter, Agroforestry, Cropping, Crop yield and Poultry litter.

He interconnects Perennial plant, Field pea, Pasture and Summer fallow in the investigation of issues within Soil water. His research in Pasture intersects with topics in Grazing and Lolium perenne. His Soil pH research includes elements of Environmental chemistry, Soil organic matter and Crop residue.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phosphorus supply enhances the response of legumes to elevated CO 2 (FACE) in a phosphorus-deficient vertisol (56 citations)
  • The impact of elevated carbon dioxide on the phosphorus nutrition of plants: a review (51 citations)
  • Cadmium accumulation is enhanced by ammonium compared to nitrate in two hyperaccumulators, without affecting speciation (49 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Peter Sale focuses on Agronomy, Shoot, Soil water, Vertisol and Botany. Peter Sale is involved in the study of Agronomy that focuses on Manure in particular. The Manure study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Subsoil, Summer fallow and Crop production.

His Vertisol research integrates issues from Root system and Respiration. His Aizoaceae study, which is part of a larger body of work in Botany, is frequently linked to Cadmium, bridging the gap between disciplines. As a part of the same scientific study, Peter Sale usually deals with the Soil organic matter, concentrating on Soil horizon and frequently concerns with Topsoil and Soil pH.
