Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Andrew N. Sharpley's research focuses on understanding and mitigating nutrient loss, particularly phosphorus, from agricultural systems to protect water quality. His work investigates the effectiveness of various conservation practices and management strategies in reducing phosphorus runoff from fields, pastures, and areas associated with animal feeding operations.

His publications examine factors influencing nutrient loss, including soil properties, manure management, and hydrological processes. Sharpley has studied the limitations of soil tests and rainfall simulators in estimating dissolved phosphorus losses, as well as the hydrogeophysical characteristics of soils amended with swine effluent. He also explores the effects of agricultural practices, such as winter hay feeding and rotational grazing, on soil properties in pasture systems.

Sharpley's scholarship is supported by extensive publication and citation records, with a high h-index of 110 and over 44,537 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Mike Daniels, James Burke, Lawrence G. Berry, and Kristofor R. Brye, on shared publications. He maintains an active laboratory website to disseminate his research findings.
