Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Soil carbon, Agronomy, Carbon sequestration, Soil organic matter and Agroforestry. His Soil carbon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon and Environmental engineering. His specific area of interest is Agronomy, where Ronald F. Follett studies Fertilizer.

The Carbon sequestration study combines topics in areas such as Soil quality, Climate change, Greenhouse effect, Greenhouse gas and Soil management. His Soil organic matter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil test, Land use and Environmental protection. Many of his studies on Agroforestry involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Tillage.

His most cited work include:

  • The Potential of U.S. Cropland to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect (845 citations)
  • Soil management concepts and carbon sequestration in cropland soils (527 citations)
  • Assessment Methods for Soil Carbon (389 citations)

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

Ronald F. Follett mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil organic matter, Soil water and Agroforestry. The study incorporates disciplines such as No-till farming, Crop residue and Water content in addition to Agronomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbon sequestration, Soil chemistry, Environmental chemistry and Crop rotation.

Ronald F. Follett has researched Soil organic matter in several fields, including Humus, Soil test, Soil respiration and Incubation. His research integrates issues of Organic matter, Ecosystem and Irrigation in his study of Soil water. His Agroforestry research incorporates elements of Cropping and Grazing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (46.28%)
  • Soil carbon (34.71%)
  • Soil organic matter (21.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Agronomy (46.28%)
  • Soil carbon (34.71%)
  • Soil water (20.66%)

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

Ronald F. Follett focuses on Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil water, Agroforestry and Greenhouse gas. Ronald F. Follett combines subjects such as No-till farming and Water content with his study of Agronomy. His study in No-till farming is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil management, Corn stover and Soil quality.

The concepts of his Soil carbon study are interwoven with issues in Mixed grass prairie, Residue, Biochemistry, Carbon sequestration and Lignin. Ronald F. Follett has included themes like Ecosystem, Holocene and Climate events in his Soil water study. The various areas that Ronald F. Follett examines in his Greenhouse gas study include Climate change, Bioenergy, Sink and Environmental planning.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Climate change alters stoichiometry of phosphorus and nitrogen in a semiarid grassland (129 citations)
  • Soil Carbon Sequestration by Switchgrass and No-Till Maize Grown for Bioenergy (108 citations)
  • Nitrogen Source Effects on Ammonia Volatilization as Measured with Semi-Static Chambers (75 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Soil water, No-till farming, Soil carbon and Climate change. His Agronomy research includes elements of Carbon sequestration, Soil management, Soil organic matter and Soil structure. His work focuses on many connections between Carbon sequestration and other disciplines, such as Plant ecology, that overlap with his field of interest in Bioenergy.

His Soil water research focuses on subjects like Crop residue, which are linked to Fertilizer. Ronald F. Follett interconnects Agroecosystem, Environmental planning, Grassland, Greenhouse gas and Water content in the investigation of issues within Climate change. His Greenhouse gas study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass and Agriculture.
