Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity

Oliver T. Coomes mainly investigates Agroforestry, Agriculture, Land use, Amazon rainforest and Livelihood. His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant ecology, Atmospheric carbon cycle and Deforestation. He has included themes like Secondary forest and Sustainable development in his Agriculture study.

His work in the fields of Land use, such as Land use, land-use change and forestry, overlaps with other areas such as Land area. His Land use, land-use change and forestry research focuses on subjects like Population growth, which are linked to Environmental resource management. As a part of the same scientific study, Oliver T. Coomes usually deals with the Amazon rainforest, concentrating on Socioeconomics and frequently concerns with Economic growth, Global biodiversity, Specialization and Rainforest.

His most cited work include:

  • The causes of land-use and land-cover change: moving beyond the myths (2453 citations)
  • Forest transitions: towards a global understanding of land use change (1014 citations)
  • The role of pasture and soybean in deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon (361 citations)

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

His main research concerns Amazon rainforest, Agroforestry, Agriculture, Peasant and Natural resource economics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Rainforest, Floodplain and Economic growth in addition to Amazon rainforest. His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Indigenous, Deforestation and Shifting cultivation, Land use.

Oliver T. Coomes works mostly in the field of Land use, limiting it down to concerns involving Sustainability and, occasionally, Sustainable development. His studies deal with areas such as Germplasm, Agricultural economics and Total factor productivity growth as well as Agriculture. His Natural resource economics study incorporates themes from Natural resource, Resource, Asset, Livelihood and Environmental protection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Amazon rainforest (45.00%)
  • Agroforestry (36.00%)
  • Agriculture (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Amazon rainforest (45.00%)
  • Agriculture (25.00%)
  • Agroforestry (36.00%)

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

Oliver T. Coomes mostly deals with Amazon rainforest, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Deforestation and Climate change. The various areas that he examines in his Amazon rainforest study include Cultural ecology, Archaeology, Chronology and Wet season. His Agriculture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Floodplain, Environmental resource management, Crop and Total factor productivity growth.

His work on Tree planting as part of general Agroforestry study is frequently linked to Cloud forest, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work carried out in the field of Deforestation brings together such families of science as Natural and Indigenous. His work in Total factor productivity addresses issues such as Sustainability, which are connected to fields such as Land use.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Leveraging total factor productivity growth for sustainable and resilient farming (24 citations)
  • Increasing expansion of large-scale crop production onto deforested land in sub-Andean South America (12 citations)
  • Geospatial Land Price Data: A Public Good for Global Change Science and Policy (9 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity

His primary scientific interests are in Agriculture, Amazon rainforest, Agroforestry, Economic growth and Low density. His Agriculture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Total factor productivity, Total factor productivity growth, Tree planting and Commodity. His work deals with themes such as Pelagic zone, Population study, Surface water and Environmental protection, which intersect with Amazon rainforest.

The Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity hotspot, Biodiversity and Communal land. His research in Economic growth intersects with topics in Amazonian and Socioeconomics.
