Robert P. Zentner

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agriculture
• Agronomy
• Ecology

Robert P. Zentner mostly deals with Agronomy, Crop rotation, Chernozem, Soil organic matter and Soil water. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Crop residue and Mineralization. His Crop rotation research incorporates themes from Cropping, Sativum and Soil horizon.

The Soil organic matter study combines topics in areas such as Organic matter, Soil fertility and Green manure. His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Canola, Crop and Summer fallow. The study incorporates disciplines such as No-till farming, Soil carbon and Agroforestry in addition to Tillage.

His most cited work include:

• Management effects on soil C storage on the Canadian prairies (354 citations)
• Effect of crop rotations and cultural practices on soil organic matter, microbial biomass and respiration in a thin Black Chernozem (227 citations)
• Labile soil organic matter as influenced by cropping practices in an arid environment. (219 citations)

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

Robert P. Zentner mainly investigates Agronomy, Crop rotation, Tillage, Chernozem and Fertilizer. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Cropping and Soil water, Loam. His work carried out in the field of Crop rotation brings together such families of science as Soil organic matter, Monoculture, Cropping system and Hay.

His Tillage study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crop yield, No-till farming and Soil quality. His Chernozem study incorporates themes from Field experiment, Mineralization, Soil classification, Carbon sequestration and Soil horizon. His Fertilizer course of study focuses on Bromus inermis and Ammonium nitrate.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (91.14%)
• Crop rotation (44.94%)
• Tillage (29.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

• Agronomy (91.14%)
• Tillage (29.75%)
• Crop rotation (44.94%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Tillage, Crop rotation, Crop yield and Green manure. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Cropping and Soil water, Chernozem. His Tillage study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cropping system and Weed control.

His Crop rotation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crop insurance and Organic farming. His Crop yield study also includes fields such as

• Greenhouse gas which connect with Carbon dioxide, Agriculture, Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage, Soil carbon and Crop,
• Carbon footprint that intertwine with fields like Carbon. His work in Green manure addresses issues such as Sativum, which are connected to fields such as Water content, Silage, Lathyrus and Grain quality.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Improving farming practices reduces the carbon footprint of spring wheat production (136 citations)
• Diversifying crop rotations with pulses enhances system productivity. (100 citations)
• Carbon footprint of spring wheat in response to fallow frequency and soil carbon changes over 25 years on the semiarid Canadian prairie (72 citations)

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

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Agronomy

Robert P. Zentner focuses on Agronomy, Crop yield, Tillage, Soil classification and Chernozem. His Agronomy research includes elements of Soil water, Soil quality and Greenhouse gas. The Soil quality study combines topics in areas such as Soil fertility, Bulk soil, Soil test, Soil pH and Green manure.

As part of his studies on Tillage, Robert P. Zentner often connects relevant areas like Soil horizon. His studies deal with areas such as Cropping, Rainwater harvesting, Growing season and Mineralization as well as Crop rotation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Loam, Cropping system and Field pea in addition to Fertilizer.
