Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Carbon dioxide

Tom Misselbrook focuses on Agronomy, Manure, Slurry, Environmental engineering and Livestock. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Denitrification, Nitrate, Animal science and Nitrous oxide. His Manure study combines topics in areas such as Environmental impact assessment, Straw and Pollution.

His Slurry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil science, Dry matter and Diffusion. His Environmental engineering research incorporates themes from Air pollution, Ammonia emission, Relative humidity and Arable land. His studies examine the connections between Livestock and genetics, as well as such issues in Agriculture, with regards to Environmental protection, Grazing and Ammoniacal nitrogen.

His most cited work include:

  • Manure management: implications for greenhouse gas emissions (341 citations)
  • Ammonia emission factors for UK agriculture. (289 citations)
  • Towards a climate-dependent paradigm of ammonia emission and deposition (185 citations)

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

Tom Misselbrook mostly deals with Agronomy, Slurry, Agriculture, Environmental engineering and Environmental chemistry. Tom Misselbrook combines subjects such as Livestock and Soil water with his study of Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Dry matter, Animal science, Arable land, Ammonia volatilization from urea and Pulp and paper industry, which intersect with Slurry.

His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Natural resource economics, Greenhouse gas and Environmental protection. He interconnects Air pollution and Ammonia emission in the investigation of issues within Environmental engineering. His biological study deals with issues like Nitrous oxide, which deal with fields such as Methane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (23.42%)
  • Slurry (22.59%)
  • Agriculture (17.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Agronomy (23.42%)
  • Animal science (13.77%)
  • Soil water (8.26%)

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

Tom Misselbrook spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Animal science, Soil water, Greenhouse gas and Fertilizer. His research integrates issues of Nitrification and Ecosystem in his study of Agronomy. Tom Misselbrook studied Animal science and Feces that intersect with Hay.

His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental chemistry, Denitrification and Mulch. His Greenhouse gas research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agriculture, Environmental engineering, Environmental protection and Nitrous oxide. His Environmental engineering research integrates issues from Air pollution, Air pollutants, Mediterranean climate and Air quality index.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The environmental costs and benefits of high-yield farming (84 citations)
  • Impacts of plastic film mulching on crop yields, soil water, nitrate, and organic carbon in Northwestern China: A meta-analysis. (52 citations)
  • The contribution of cattle urine and dung to nitrous oxide emissions: Quantification of country specific emission factors and implications for national inventories. (49 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Carbon dioxide

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nitrification, Agronomy, Nitrous oxide, Ammonium nitrate and Animal science. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Soil water and Agronomy. His Nitrous oxide study incorporates themes from Grassland, Pasture and Greenhouse gas.

Tom Misselbrook usually deals with Greenhouse gas and limits it to topics linked to Environmental chemistry and Soil properties, Organic fertilizer and Methane. His Animal science course of study focuses on Livestock and Agriculture, Nutrient, Agricultural engineering, Manure and Nutrient pollution. The concepts of his Agriculture study are interwoven with issues in Cost–benefit analysis and Externality.
