Overview

David E. Crowley is affiliated with the University of California, Riverside in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, with significant contributions to subfields such as soil science, ecology, environmental chemistry, plant science, and health, toxicology, and mutagenesis.

The topics central to their work include soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, turfgrass adaptation and management, soil and water nutrient dynamics, microbial community ecology and physiology, mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions, rangeland and wildlife management, and irrigation practices and water management.

Their recent publications demonstrate an emphasis on soil health and sustainable agricultural practices. Notable papers include:

  • "Biochar and compost effects on soil microbial communities and nitrogen induced respiration in turfgrass soils," 2020, PLoS ONE
  • "Crop types have stronger effects on soil microbial communities and functionalities than biochar or fertilizer during two cycles of legume-cereal rotations of dry land," 2020, The Science of The Total Environment
  • "Influence of compost and biochar on soil biological properties under turfgrass supplied deficit irrigation," 2021, Applied Soil Ecology
  • "Dealing with Water Scarcity and Salinity: Adoption of Water Efficient Technologies and Management Practices by California Avocado Growers," 2020, Sustainability
  • "Acute toxicity of the insecticide cypermethrin to three common European mayfly and stonefly nymphs," 2021, Limnologica

Frequent collaborators in their research include Muhammad Azeem, Lauren Hale, Jonathan Montgomery, Milton E. McGiffen, and Erin D. Lewis.

Their work appears in a diverse array of publication venues, notably:

  • PLoS ONE
  • The Science of The Total Environment
  • Applied Soil Ecology
  • Sustainability
  • Limnologica
