Monitoring and evaluating desertification using remote sensing technology allows for timely and accu-rate grasping of the growth and decline of desertification land,providing a scientific basis for relevant depart-ments to formulate desertification control methods and strategies in a timely manner.This article utilizes the bib-liometric analysis package Bibliometrix in R language,as well as the visualization analysis software VOSviewer and CiteSpace,to analyze the international research trends in the application field of remote sensing technology for desertification monitoring and assessment.The results show that:①The number of publications in the field of desertification monitoring and assessment using remote sensing technology has increased dramatically since 2016,indicating that the field is in a stage of rapid development.② This field is an interdisciplinary subject in-volving multiple disciplines.In recent years,scholars have continuously introduced emerging technologies.③ China has strong research strength and talent base in this field,but there is still room for improvement in in-ternational academic influence and international cooperation.④ Both domestic and international research in this field have formed a certain scale of cooperation,but there is still great potential for cross-institutional and cross-national collaboration.In the analysis of research themes,it is found that articles in recent years can be roughly divided into four aspects:the research subjects and their land status of desertification;the causes of desertifica-tion,desertification restoration;analysis methods of remote sensing data,and satellites or data platforms relat-ed to remote sensing.Based on the above analysis results,this article puts forward relevant suggestions for the future development of remote sensing technology in the field of desertification monitoring and assessment.
