“…Addressing these questions is important for advancing research on seed dispersal; the answers will provide comprehensive insight into existing seed dispersal research and help scholars discover important unsolved scientific problems and determine which problems they should focus their research on. Although many scholars have published empirical and qualitative articles in the field of seed dispersal, these scope of these articles is still somewhat limited, for example, by subject category or region (Fuzessya et al 2018, Camargo et al 2019, Li et al 2021. Although many reviews have shown development trends in specific aspects of seed dispersal-related research fields, they have not provided a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the current status of seed dispersal-related research and emerging fields.…”

In this study, data were sampled from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) databases of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). With the help of CiteSpace visualization software, a systematic analysis was carried out on 1,939 publications from various countries in the field of seed dispersal. The activity index (AI) and attractive index (AAI) were used to evaluate the research effort and academic impact of different countries/territories in this field, and the global research progress and dynamic changes in research on seed dispersal were discussed. The results showed that (1) the number of publications on seed dispersal has increased rapidly, and research on seed dispersal is in a growth stage and has great potential. Ecology was the journal with the highest impact in this field, and ecology was the most popular subject category among the studies analysed. (2) The most productive authors in the field of seed dispersal are from Spain, and the most productive institution is in the USA. The research effort and academic impact of the USA were higher than the global average level in most years; the research effort and academic impact of Brazil, China and Japan were lower than the global average level in most years, but in recent years, the academic impact of these countries has been continuously increasing. (3) Keyword burst analysis showed that the new research hotspots or frontiers were mainly concentrated on seed conservation and the spatial patterns of seed dispersal. In-depth analysis of seed dispersal research indicated that the increasing development of mathematical models related to seed dispersal creates an opportunity to study the processes of seed dispersal and their consequences.

“…The poisonous weeds are mainly distributed in the grasslands of Xinjiang, Tibet, Gansu, Sichuan, Qinghai, Ningxia, Yunnan, and other provinces and regions in China, posing a threat to an area of approximately 33 million hectares. Among them, the poisonous weeds known as Oxytropis DC and Stellera L. have the greatest impact, accounting for over 90% of the total area affected by poisonous weeds [12][13][14][15]. In Xinjiang, the diversity of poisonous weed species is high, and the damage caused by them is severe.…”

The frequent occurrence of poisonous grassland weed disasters has weakened the stability of the grassland ecosystem in the Ili region of Xinjiang, and its spread has seriously affected the development of grassland animal husbandry. However, there is no relevant literature to report the species and distribution of poisonous grassland weeds in the Ili region. In this study, investigation was carried out using methods such as personal inspection and sampling methods, and importance-value and diversity analyses were conducted. The results showed that there were 126 species of poisonous weeds in the Ili region, belonging to 91 genera and 28 families. The poisonous weeds of Compositae and Leguminosae accounted for 33.3%. The Shannon–Wiener diversity index of the poisonous weed population was 3.99, the richness of the poisonous weed population was high, and the distribution range was uniform. The Simpson diversity index of poisonous weeds population was 0.97, and the highest importance value of poisonous weeds was Urtica cannabina L., with an importance value of 11.50. The evenness index of the poisonous weed population was 0.83; the spatial distribution pattern of the poisonous weed population tended to aggregate distribution. This study lays a foundation for the control of poisonous weeds and the sustainable development of grasslands in the Ili region of Xinjiang.

To understand the research trends and areas of focus of seed dispersal, a bibliometric study based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) databases of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was performed. With the help of CiteSpace visualization software, a systematic analysis was carried out on 2911 publications from various countries in the field of seed dispersal. The activity index (AI) and attraction index (AAI) were used to evaluate the research effort and academic impact of different countries/territories in this field, and the global research progress and dynamic changes in research on seed dispersal were discussed. The number of publications on seed dispersal has increased rapidly since 1990, and research on seed dispersal is in the growth stage and has great potential. Ecology was the journal with the highest impact in this field, and ecology was the most popular subject category among the studies analyzed. The most productive authors in the field of seed dispersal are from Spain, and the most productive institution is in the USA. A keyword burst analysis showed that the new research frontiers were mainly concentrated on seed body size and the ecological network of seed dispersal. An in-depth analysis of seed dispersal research indicated that the increasing development of mathematical models related to seed dispersal creates an opportunity to study the processes of seed dispersal and their consequences.
