Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Quantum mechanics

Cheikh Mbow mostly deals with Land use, Agriculture, Business, Climate change and Ecosystem services. His study in the field of Land use, land-use change and forestry also crosses realms of Natural resource economics. Cheikh Mbow works on Agriculture which deals in particular with Food security.

Cheikh Mbow interconnects Abundance, Biodiversity, Livelihood, Biomass and Ecosystem in the investigation of issues within Climate change. The various areas that Cheikh Mbow examines in his Livelihood study include Agroforestry and Political economy of climate change. His Ecosystem services course of study focuses on Climate change mitigation and Forestry and Land management.

His most cited work include:

  • Farmers’ Perceptions of Climate Change and Agricultural Adaptation Strategies in Rural Sahel (573 citations)
  • Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) (397 citations)
  • Greenness in semi-arid areas across the globe 1981–2007 — an Earth Observing Satellite based analysis of trends and drivers (364 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Mechanics, Agroforestry, Land use, Climate change and Agriculture. His Agroforestry study also includes

  • Land degradation that intertwine with fields like Desertification, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Remote sensing,
  • Vegetation that connect with fields like Albedo, Shrub, Herbaceous plant, Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer and Growing season. He combines subjects such as Forestry, Deforestation, Environmental resource management and Ecosystem services with his study of Land use.

Cheikh Mbow has researched Forestry in several fields, including Biomass and Ecology. His studies examine the connections between Climate change and genetics, as well as such issues in Livelihood, with regards to Livestock. Particularly relevant to Food security is his body of work in Agriculture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (18.38%)
  • Agroforestry (17.65%)
  • Land use (13.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mechanics (18.38%)
  • Climate change (13.24%)
  • Business (10.29%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Mechanics, Climate change, Business, Heat transfer and Agroforestry. He has included themes like Vegetation and Ecosystem ecology in his Climate change study. Natural resource economics, Livelihood, Food security, Forest management and Ecosystem services are fields of study that overlap with his Business research.

In his work, Natural resource, Prosperity and Natural resource management is strongly intertwined with Sustainable development, which is a subfield of Livelihood. His Food security research incorporates elements of Sustainability and Resource management. The study incorporates disciplines such as Deforestation, Spatial heterogeneity and Field in addition to Agroforestry.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate change responses benefit from a global food system approach (32 citations)
  • Changes in rainfall distribution promote woody foliage production in the Sahel. (19 citations)
  • Chapter 5. Food security (6 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Climate change

Climate change, Business, Natural resource economics, Food systems and Food security are his primary areas of study. His Climate change research integrates issues from Agroforestry, Herbaceous plant, Agronomy, Herbivore and Ecosystem ecology. Other disciplines of study, such as Sustainable development and Psychological resilience, are mixed together with his Business studies.

Natural resource economics is intertwined with Consumption, Production, Climate change mitigation and Climate change adaptation in his research. His Food security research includes elements of Sustainability, Resource management and Livelihood.
