Overview

Frank Ewert is affiliated with the University of Bonn in Germany and has made substantial contributions to the field of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a focus on Plant Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Agronomy and Crop Science, Global and Planetary Change, and Soil Science. Their research addresses key topics related to climate change impacts on agriculture, crop yield and soil fertility, plant responses to elevated CO2 levels, soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, greenhouse technology and climate control, wheat and barley genetics and pathology, and plant water relations and carbon dynamics.

Ewert's recent publications reflect a strong emphasis on crop modeling, climate adaptation, and nutrient dynamics in agricultural systems. Notable works include:

  • "Climate change impacts on crop yields" (2023) published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
  • "Towards a multiscale crop modelling framework for climate change adaptation assessment" (2020) in Nature Plants
  • "Diverse approaches to crop diversification in agricultural research. A review" (2020) in Agronomy for Sustainable Development
  • "Nutrient deficiency effects on root architecture and root-to-shoot ratio in arable crops" (2023) in Frontiers in Plant Science
  • "Winter wheat yield prediction using convolutional neural networks from environmental and phenological data" (2022) in Scientific Reports

The scientist frequently collaborates with several researchers, among the most frequent co-authors are:

  • Thomas Gaiser
  • Heidi Webber
  • Senthold Asseng
  • Amit Kumar Srivastava
  • Ehsan Eyshi Rezaei

Frank Ewert's work has been published repeatedly in specialized venues such as Scientific Reports, Open Data Journal for Agricultural Research, Environmental Research Letters, European Journal of Agronomy, and Field Crops Research. These platforms suggest a focus on disseminating research concerning agricultural data, environmental impacts, and crop science innovations.

The body of research addresses both theoretical and practical issues surrounding adaptation of crop production systems to climate variability, nutrient management in arable crops, ecological diversification of farming systems, and the integration of advanced technological approaches such as convolutional neural networks in yield prediction.
