Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Ecology
Agriculture
Agronomy

Sharon A. Clay mostly deals with Agronomy, Loam, Desorption, Atrazine and Soil water. Her study in Tillage, Crop yield, Fertilizer, Weed control and Weed falls under the purview of Agronomy. Her Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Precision agriculture, Water-use efficiency, Irrigation, Evapotranspiration and Nutrient.

Her Soil water research focuses on Soil test in particular. Her work focuses on many connections between Soil science and other disciplines, such as Calcareous, that overlap with her field of interest in Spatial variability. Her Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vadose zone, Leaching and Subsoil.

Her most cited work include:

Phosphorus Sorption and Availability from Biochars and Soil/Biochar Mixtures (169 citations)
STABILITY OF CORN (ZEA MAYS)-VELVETLEAF (ABUTILON THEOPHRASTI) INTERFERENCE RELATIONSHIPS (122 citations)
Weed seed bank emergence across the Corn Belt (113 citations)

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

Sharon A. Clay mainly focuses on Agronomy, Weed, Soil water, Weed control and Agroforestry. As part of her studies on Agronomy, she frequently links adjacent subjects like Biomass. Sharon A. Clay combines subjects such as Yield and Competition with her study of Weed.

The concepts of her Soil water study are interwoven with issues in Crop yield and Manure. While working on this project, Sharon A. Clay studies both Weed control and Abrasive. In her work, Leaching is strongly intertwined with Environmental chemistry, which is a subfield of Atrazine.

She most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (49.81%)
Weed (15.85%)
Soil water (15.09%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

Agronomy (49.81%)
Weed (15.85%)
Weed control (10.94%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Agricultural engineering and Abrasive. Her Agronomy study incorporates themes from Biomass, Soil health and Competition. Her studies examine the connections between Biomass and genetics, as well as such issues in Soil water, with regards to Atrazine degradation and Denitrification.

Sharon A. Clay has included themes like Photosynthesis and Jasmonic acid, Gene, Soybean cyst nematode in her Weed study. Her Weed control research incorporates elements of Agroforestry, Data collection and Crop. Her Agricultural engineering research integrates issues from Precision agriculture, Crop yield and Plastic mulch.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

Crop Residue Management Challenges: A Special Issue Overview (90 citations)
Does the U.S. Cropland Data Layer Provide an Accurate Benchmark for Land‐Use Change Estimates? (28 citations)
Land-Use Change Impact on Soil Sustainability in a Climate and Vegetation Transition Zone (28 citations)

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

Ecology
Agriculture
Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Soil health, Weed, Environmental chemistry and Sampling. Sharon A. Clay incorporates Agronomy and Residue in her studies. Sharon A. Clay usually deals with Weed and limits it to topics linked to Yield and Glufosinate, Glyphosate and Volunteer.

Her Environmental chemistry research includes themes of Atrazine degradation and Carbon dioxide. Her work carried out in the field of Sampling brings together such families of science as Fertilizer, Crop yield, Climatic variability and Agricultural science. Her research integrates issues of Soil classification, Soil water, Stover and Atrazine in her study of Biochar.
