Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Bacteria

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Paddy field, Methane, Greenhouse gas and Rhizosphere. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water and Total organic carbon. His Paddy field research includes elements of Oryza sativa and Rainfed agriculture, Irrigation.

Tapan Kumar Adhya has researched Methane in several fields, including Nitrous oxide, Environmental engineering and Biogeochemical cycle. Tapan Kumar Adhya is studying Rhizobacteria, which is a component of Rhizosphere. His research in Rhizobacteria intersects with topics in Botany, Herbaceous plant, Germination, Plant physiology and Seedling.

His most cited work include:

  • Global change pressures on soils from land use and management. (294 citations)
  • Biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity as key drivers of ecosystem services provided by soils (192 citations)
  • Isolation of ACC deaminase producing PGPR from rice rhizosphere and evaluating their plant growth promoting activity under salt stress (162 citations)

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

Tapan Kumar Adhya mostly deals with Agronomy, Paddy field, Soil water, Methane and Rhizosphere. Tapan Kumar Adhya has included themes like Nitrogen fixation, Oryza sativa and Nitrification in his Agronomy study. His work in Paddy field tackles topics such as Wet season which are related to areas like Tropics.

His study in Soil water is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental chemistry, Methanogenesis and Water content. His research investigates the connection between Methane and topics such as Nitrous oxide that intersect with problems in Denitrification. His Rhizosphere research integrates issues from Soil biology and Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (46.51%)
  • Paddy field (31.01%)
  • Soil water (22.48%)

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

  • Agriculture (7.75%)
  • Reactive nitrogen (6.20%)
  • Natural resource economics (3.10%)

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

Tapan Kumar Adhya focuses on Agriculture, Reactive nitrogen, Natural resource economics, Ecology and Greenhouse gas. His work deals with themes such as Agroforestry, Fertilizer, Surface water and Water resources, which intersect with Agriculture. His research on Surface water frequently links to adjacent areas such as Agronomy.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cropping, Nitrogen fixation, Crop residue and Nutrient management. Paddy field, Archaea and Ecology is closely connected to Methane in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Greenhouse gas. As a part of the same scientific family, Tapan Kumar Adhya mostly works in the field of Sustainable agriculture, focusing on Soil microbiology and, on occasion, Rhizosphere.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Salinity and macrophyte drive the biogeography of the sedimentary bacterial communities in a brackish water tropical coastal lagoon. (24 citations)
  • “More crop per drop”: Exploring India's cereal water use since 2005 (19 citations)
  • Molecular ecological perspective of methanogenic archaeal community in rice agroecosystem. (16 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Bacteria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nutrient cycle, Ecology, Community structure, Agriculture and Nitrogen cycle. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil biology, Agroecosystem and Rhizosphere in addition to Nutrient cycle. His Salinity, Biogeochemical cycle, Brackish water and Biotic component study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Environmental gradient.

His Biogeochemical cycle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecology, Archaea, Methane, Paddy field and Biogeochemistry. His Community structure research incorporates elements of Community, Abiotic component and Botany. His work carried out in the field of Agriculture brings together such families of science as Water use, Agronomy, Irrigation, Surface water and Evapotranspiration.
