Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Biochar, Soil water, Environmental chemistry and Yield. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil organic matter and Agriculture. As part of the same scientific family, Stephen J. Herbert usually focuses on Soil organic matter, concentrating on Soil management and intersecting with Soil carbon, Crop rotation, No-till farming and Soil fertility.

His work deals with themes such as Denitrification and Nitrous oxide, which intersect with Environmental chemistry. As a part of the same scientific family, Stephen J. Herbert mostly works in the field of Yield, focusing on Leaf area index and, on occasion, Dry matter. His Cultivar research focuses on Crop yield and how it connects with Plant disease resistance, Plant breeding and Dry weight.

His most cited work include:

  • Impacts of adding biochar on nitrogen retention and bioavailability in agricultural soil (232 citations)
  • Sorption of antibiotic sulfamethoxazole varies with biochars produced at different temperatures. (217 citations)
  • Characteristics and nutrient values of biochars produced from giant reed at different temperatures. (191 citations)

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

Stephen J. Herbert mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil water, Cultivar, Cover crop and Point of delivery. His Agronomy study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Mollisol. Many of his studies on Soil water involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Dry matter.

His research investigates the connection with Cultivar and areas like Interception which intersect with concerns in Stage. His Cover crop research includes elements of Weed, Weed control, Leaching and Secale. His Point of delivery study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Canopy and Cotyledon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (70.73%)
  • Soil water (21.95%)
  • Cultivar (17.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (70.73%)
  • Cultivar (17.89%)
  • Soil water (21.95%)

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

Stephen J. Herbert spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Cultivar, Soil water, Soil carbon and Horticulture. His biological study focuses on Fertilizer. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Intraspecific competition, Genetic variation, Co2 concentration, Crop yield and Yield.

His work on Tensiometer and Lysimeter is typically connected to Vacuum level and Suction as part of general Soil water study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Soil carbon research includes themes of Soil type and Soil quality. His work on Point of delivery and Gibberellin as part of general Horticulture study is frequently linked to Potassium and Phosphorus, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of agricultural management on soil organic matter and carbon transformation - a review (167 citations)
  • Soil degradation: a problem threatening the sustainable development of agriculture in Northeast China (138 citations)
  • Soybean yield and yield component distribution across the main axis in response to light enrichment and shading under different densities (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Stephen J. Herbert mainly investigates Agronomy, Cultivar, Horticulture, Soil management and Point of delivery. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil organic matter and Topsoil. His Soil organic matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as No-till farming, Soil fertility, Soil carbon and Crop rotation.

His Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Sugar, Gibberellin and Seedling. His study in Horticulture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Abscisic acid and Sucrose. His Point of delivery research incorporates elements of Dry weight, Canopy, Cotyledon and Interception.
