Naeem is the author of a Sustainable Food Production: A primer for the 21st Century and Biodiversity, Ecosystem Functioning, and Human Well-Being, and has published over 100 scientific articles. Ecosystem Functioning, and Human Well-Being complies and summarizes over 900 scientific studies on how biodiversity loss impacts the environment and human society.
Naeem's research has shifted the traditional view of conservation biology, towards looking at conservation as a means of ecosystem restoration and stability. Naeem's work on conservation biology extended beyond needing to save an isolated species, and focused on how those species exist in their ecosystem and how they are necessary for ecosystem function. Naeem has contributed to advancing scientific knowledge and literature including but not limited to the fields of ecology, ecosystem ecology, community ecology, biodiversity conservation, and evolutionary biology. He has been awarded with the ISI Highly Cited Author in 2003, 2014, 2015, 2016.
