Overview

Philip M. Haygarth is affiliated with Lancaster University in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a significant focus on Environmental Chemistry, Soil Science, and Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering subfields.

The scientist's work is centered on several main topics including:

  • Soil and Water Nutrient Dynamics
  • Phosphorus and nutrient management
  • Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics
  • Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism
  • Parathyroid Disorders and Treatments
  • Hydrology and Watershed Management Studies
  • Soil erosion and sediment transport

Haygarth has published extensively, contributing notably to venues such as the European Journal of Soil Science, Nature Food, Journal of Environmental Quality, Soil Biology and Biochemistry, and Applied Soil Ecology.

Selected recent publications include:

  • "A meta-analysis of phosphatase activity in agricultural settings in response to phosphorus deficiency", 2021, Soil Biology and Biochemistry
  • "A Global Database of Soil Plant Available Phosphorus", 2023, Scientific Data
  • "Phosphorus applications adjusted to optimal crop yields can help sustain global phosphorus reserves", 2024, Nature Food
  • "Cycling of reduced phosphorus compounds in soil and potential impacts of climate change", 2021, European Journal of Soil Science
  • "Towards circular phosphorus: The need of inter- and transdisciplinary research to close the broken cycle", 2021, AMBIO

Throughout their career, Haygarth has frequently collaborated with researchers including R. W. McDowell, M. S. A. Blackwell, Malika M. Mezeli, Marc Stutter, and Peter J. A. Kleinman.
