Advances in the study of Ormosia based on CiteSpace bibliometric analysis
In view of the importance of Ormosia in ecological protection,ecological services,and resource development and utilisation,the research literature on Ormosia has been sorted and analyzed in order to reveal the progress of research on Ormosia and its trends as well as the current status of cross-fertilisation among the key disciplines.Literature on the Ormosia from CNKI databases was collected,and metrological analyzed,visualisation and keyword clustering were carried out with the help of CiteSpace,Excel and other software.From 2005 to 2021,the annual publication volume fluctuated and increased,with the highest number of publications in 2021,showing a breakthrough growth.Wei Xiaoli had published a large number of articles(29)and had several large author groups,forming the basic framework of a medium to large collaborative network.However,there was still room for further deepening of cooperation among author groups.A research pattern that emphasized both universities and research institutes had been formed,and the research results published by the School of Forestry at Guizhou University and the Institute of Subtropical Forestry at the Chinese Academy of Forestry in this field had a high level of influence.Research institutions had formed a cluster phenomenon,and there was still room for improvement in cooperation and communication between institutions and groups in this field.Related research focused on the seedling cultivation and afforestation of species in the Ormosia genus,with keyword mainly including exploration of artificial forests,analysis and protection of wild community characteristics,and exploration of plant resource utilization.Scholars were paying more attention to the wood utilization and wild population rejuvenation of plants in Ormosia.The endangered protection,ecological restoration,and environmental adaptability of multiple species in Ormosia had became new research focuses.Based on the current research status and trends,it was recommended to strengthen basic research and interdisciplinary integration,promote academic exchanges and resource sharing,and strengthen the conservation and utilisation of germplasm resources.
