Research Progress of Forest Seedling based on Bibliometric Analysis in China
Abstarct:In order to more fully understand the research status and research hotspots in the field of forest seedling in China,and provide a theoretical basis for future research.Based on the relevant literature on forest seedling in CNKI database,using visual analysis software CiteSpace and VOSviewer,this paper had analyzed 1 051 literatures from 1985 to 2023 from annual number of publications,authors,institutions and keywords,and had drawn a visual knowledge map.The results showed:(1)According to the time distribution of published papers,the research on for-est seedling in China was roughly divided into four stages:the initial stage(1985-1993),the slow development stage(1994-2001),the gold development stage(2002-2019)and the short stagnation stage(2020-2023).(2)This field had a core author group and research institutions.Scholars,such as Wang Yinxiao,Liu Hong and Guo Zhenqi,constituted the backbone of the research in this field.Forestry units and forestry seedling management sta-tions in various provinces and cities were the main force of research institutions.(3)The existing research mainly fo-cused on the industrialization and cultivation technology of forest seedling.In the future,the cultivation technology and the relationship between forest seedling and forestry development may be the frontier hot topics in this field.
