Mapping the Link between Climate Change and Mangrove Forest: A Global Overview of the Literature

Abstract

Mangroves play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of coastal regions, particularly in the face of climate change. To gain insight into associations between climate change and mangroves, we conducted bibliometric research on the global indexed database of the Web of Knowledge, Core Collection. A total of 4458 literature were analyzed based on bibliometric information and article metadata through a scientometric analysis of citation analysis as well as a cluster analysis. Results suggest that coastal countries such as the USA, Australia, China, India, and Brazil are showing the recent influential mangrove-related keywords such as blue carbon and carbon stock. Interestingly, the “carbon stock”, “Saudi Arabia”, “range expansion” and “nature-based flood risk mitigation” is among the top cluster networks in the field of climate change and mangrove forest. The present research is expected to attract potential leaders in research, government, civil society, and business to advance progress towards mangrove sustainability in the changing climate meaningfully.

A Systematic Review and Global Trends on Blue Carbon and Sustainable Development: A Bibliometric Study from 2012 to 2023

“…Firstly, we selected the WoS as our data source since it is widely used [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. To obtain scholarly publications related to blue carbon and sustainable development, detailed search strings based on the specific objectives and content of this study have been developed and applied to the selected databases.…”

“…The time period was set to 2012.01-2023.12 (Years Per Slice = 1), and other factors were maintained at their default settings. CiteSpace uses visualization tools such as network diagrams, timelines, and keyword co-occurrence analysis to provide researchers with insights into citation relationships between scientific literature, topic evolution, and hotspots of research [55,61]. Thirdly, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the literature related to blue carbon and sustainable development and generated visualization charts and results.…”

“…Topic I: Blue carbon plays a prominent role in ocean and climate change issues Inextricably linked to climate, the oceans play a key role in climate change mitigation and adaptation [135][136][137][138][139][140], and blue carbon plays a potential contributing or even the predominant role [11,55,[140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151]. As part of the ongoing discussions regarding the oceanclimate nexus and blue carbon, more attention is being paid to carbon cycling and storage processes in the open ocean as a potential solution to climate change [107].…”

Landsat 9 Imagery Based Mangrove Forest Mapping Using Maximum Likelihood Classifier and Support Vector Machine Algorithm

“…Informasi terkait tutupan mangrove memiliki peran krusial dalam upaya konservasi ekosistem pesisir. Salah satu langkah penting dalam menjaga keberlanjutan ekosistem mangrove adalah dengan melakukan ekstraksi informasi terkait sebaran, luas dan kondisi mangrove melalui pemetaan (Purwanto et al, 2023;Segaran et al, 2023). Pemetaan ini memberikan gambaran detail tentang ekosistem tersebut, memungkinkan peneliti untuk mengidentifikasi area-area yang memerlukan perhatian khusus.…”

Text Mining of Wood Science Research Published in Korean and Japanese Journals

“…Forest expansion is a valuable way to achieve carbon neutrality. As trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and capture and store the carbon in their internal fibrous structures (Jang, 2022b;Segaran et al, 2023). Wood also requires considerably less energy to produce and process than concrete or steel.…”
