Overview

David Makowski is affiliated with the University of Paris-Saclay in France. Their research primarily lies within the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science, focusing on diverse subfields such as Plant Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Insect Science, Global and Planetary Change, and Agronomy and Crop Science.

Their research topics cover a range of agricultural and environmental concerns, including:

  • Climate change impacts on agriculture
  • Insect-Plant Interactions and Control
  • Research on scale insects
  • Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics
  • Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics
  • Crop Yield and Soil Fertility
  • Agronomic Practices and Intercropping Systems

Makowski's publication record includes numerous recent papers that address important ecological and agricultural issues. Selected notable works are:

  • "Positive but variable effects of crop diversification on biodiversity and ecosystem services," 2021, Global Change Biology
  • "Impact of extreme weather conditions on European crop production in 2018," 2020, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • "Atmospheric dryness reduces photosynthesis along a large range of soil water deficits," 2022, Nature Communications
  • "The productive performance of intercropping," 2023, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • "Global irrigation contribution to wheat and maize yield," 2021, Nature Communications

Frequent collaborators in their research include Philippe Ciais, Paula Baptista, Elisavet Chatzivassiliou, Roel Potting, and Nicolas Desneux.

Makowski has published extensively in several scientific journals, with high volumes in:

  • EFSA Journal
  • European Journal of Agronomy
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
