Analysis of the Current Status,Hotspots,and Trends of Mangrove Research in China Based on Bibliometrics
Using bibliometric analysis methods,this paper systematically sorts out and analyzes the relevant litera-ture on mangrove research published in the China National Knowledge Internet(CNKI)core journal database from 2000 to 2023.With the aid of visualization software such as CiteSpace and VOSviewer,the paper delves into the current research status,hotspots,and frontier trends of mangrove research from six aspects:annual publication trends,discipline distribution,journal distribution,authors,institutional cooperation,and keywords,providing sci-entific evidence and directional references for further research in this field.The research results indicate that the number of publications related to mangrove research has gradually increased,with research institutions primarily consisting of universities and scientific research units.Scholars have close collaborations among themselves.Re-cent mangrove research has primarily focused on ecological restoration and reconstruction,biodiversity conserva-tion and utilization,carbon cycling and carbon sink functions of mangrove ecosystems,among others.The appli-cation of new technologies and methods,interdisciplinary research,and mangrove conservation and sustainable u-tilization remain the persistent concerns in this field.
