Research.com Recognitions

  • 2022 - Research.com Plant Science and Agronomy in Mexico Leader Award

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Statistics

Marc Corbeels focuses on Conservation agriculture, Agriculture, Agronomy, Crop rotation and Business. The various areas that he examines in his Conservation agriculture study include No-till farming and Agricultural economics. His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroforestry and Environmental resource management.

The Agronomy study which covers Soil fertility that intersects with Waterlogging, Rainfed agriculture and Conventional tillage. His work carried out in the field of Crop rotation brings together such families of science as Crop yield and Tillage. Marc Corbeels interconnects Productivity and Soil retrogression and degradation in the investigation of issues within Agricultural productivity.

His most cited work include:

  • Conservation agriculture and smallholder farming in Africa: The heretics' view (942 citations)
  • Conservation agriculture and smallholder farming in Africa: The heretics' view (942 citations)
  • How Do Various Maize Crop Models Vary in Their Responses to Climate Change Factors (366 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Agriculture, Conservation agriculture, Agroforestry and Soil fertility. His research combines Soil water and Agronomy. In the subject of general Agriculture, his work in Cropping and Soil conservation is often linked to Business, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

He combines subjects such as Agricultural economics, Agricultural productivity, Environmental resource management, Livestock and Sustainable agriculture with his study of Conservation agriculture. His Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Land use, land-use change and forestry, Crop residue, Soil retrogression and degradation, Productivity and Soil management. His Soil fertility research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nutrient management, Nutrient, Yield gap and Manure.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (62.99%)
  • Agriculture (44.88%)
  • Conservation agriculture (35.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Agroforestry (37.80%)
  • Agriculture (44.88%)
  • Agronomy (62.99%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agroforestry, Agriculture, Agronomy, Soil fertility and Crop yield. His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agricultural intensification, Soil carbon, Gross margin, Agricultural productivity and Conservation agriculture. His Agriculture research incorporates elements of Land use, Greenhouse gas and Agricultural science.

His work focuses on many connections between Agronomy and other disciplines, such as Soil water, that overlap with his field of interest in Nutrient and Yield. His Soil fertility study incorporates themes from Biomass, Crop residue and Manure. Marc Corbeels focuses mostly in the field of Crop yield, narrowing it down to topics relating to Crop rotation and, in certain cases, Soil conservation and Agrochemical.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Beyond conservation agriculture (166 citations)
  • Land use change and ecosystem service provision in Pampas and Campos grasslands of southern South America (67 citations)
  • Evidence of limited carbon sequestration in soils under no-tillage systems in the Cerrado of Brazil. (42 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Statistics

Marc Corbeels mainly investigates Livestock, Soil fertility, Agronomy, Crop yield and Agriculture. His Soil fertility research focuses on Fertilizer and how it relates to Soil organic matter and Mulch. Marc Corbeels has included themes like Ecology and Chronosequence in his Agronomy study.

His study looks at the intersection of Crop yield and topics like Crop rotation with Soil conservation and Agrochemical. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Grassland and Scale. Agroforestry connects with themes related to Soil carbon in his study.
