Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

S. C. Jarvis focuses on Agronomy, Nitrogen cycle, Grassland, Nitrous oxide and Agriculture. Within one scientific family, S. C. Jarvis focuses on topics pertaining to Soil water under Agronomy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Water content and Botany. S. C. Jarvis combines subjects such as Biogeochemical cycle, Nutrient management, Grazing and Cycling with his study of Nitrogen cycle.

The concepts of his Grassland study are interwoven with issues in Soil science, Compaction, Temperate climate, Pasture and Methane. In his research, Gaseous nitrogen, Interflow and Water quality is intimately related to Environmental chemistry, which falls under the overarching field of Nitrous oxide. S. C. Jarvis has researched Agriculture in several fields, including Air pollution, Livestock, Natural resource economics and Environmental engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • A microplate fluorimetric assay for the study of enzyme diversity in soils (493 citations)
  • Ammonia emission factors for UK agriculture. (289 citations)
  • Seasonal changes in soil microbial communities along a fertility gradient of temperate grasslands (288 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Grassland, Soil water, Environmental chemistry and Agriculture. His study explores the link between Agronomy and topics such as Nitrogen cycle that cross with problems in Ecology. Soil water is a subfield of Soil science that he studies.

His Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Denitrification and Nitrous oxide. His work in Agriculture tackles topics such as Environmental engineering which are related to areas like Air pollution. S. C. Jarvis has included themes like Soil organic matter and Organic matter in his Mineralization study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (32.95%)
  • Grassland (27.59%)
  • Soil water (25.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2018)?

  • Agronomy (32.95%)
  • Agriculture (14.56%)
  • Grassland (27.59%)

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

S. C. Jarvis spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Agriculture, Grassland, Soil water and Leaching. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Larva and Botany. His Grassland research includes themes of Nitrification and Archaeology.

His Soil water research focuses on Loam in particular. His study in Leaching is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrology, Soil type, Fertilizer and Nitrate. His studies deal with areas such as Denitrification, Nitrogen cycle, Manure and Drainage as well as Fertilizer.

Between 2002 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Exploring the enzymatic landscape: distribution and kinetics of hydrolytic enzymes in soil particle-size fractions (198 citations)
  • Optimizing nutrient management for farm systems (174 citations)
  • Progress in studies of nitrate leaching from grassland soils. (76 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Fertilizer, Leaching, Agriculture and Soil water. His research in Agronomy focuses on subjects like Nitrate, which are connected to Subsoil and Topsoil. His work carried out in the field of Fertilizer brings together such families of science as Denitrification, Manure and Drainage.

His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental impact assessment, Sustainability, Nitrogen cycle and Ecosystem. S. C. Jarvis frequently studies issues relating to Grassland and Nitrogen cycle. His research in Soil water is mostly concerned with Loam.
