Overview

David Rowlings is affiliated with the Queensland University of Technology in Australia. Their research primarily focuses on the domains of Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Environmental Science, reflecting a broad engagement with topics that intersect soil, plant, and environmental studies.

Their work extensively covers subfields such as Soil Science, Plant Science, Environmental Chemistry, Global and Planetary Change, and Environmental Engineering. This range indicates a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding ecological and agricultural systems.

Key topics in their research include Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics, Soil and Water Nutrient Dynamics, Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism, Sugarcane Cultivation and Processing, Soil and Unsaturated Flow, Rice Cultivation and Yield Improvement, and Phosphorus and nutrient management.

Frequent co-authors collaborating with David Rowlings include Peter Grace, Clemens Scheer, Johannes Friedl, Daniele De Rosa, and Naoya Takeda.

They have been published regularly in a variety of journals, with repeated contributions to Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, Global Change Biology, Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, Soil Research, and SSRN Electronic Journal.
