Background and Aims Intercropping is an agroecological strategy to optimize resource-use efficiency and crop yield. In recent decades, therefore, intercropping has gained strongly increasing attention as a more sustainable land management alternative to monoculture-oriented intensive agriculture. However, few studies have attempted to perform a comprehensive and systematic review of this subject from a bibliometric perspective.Methods This study carried out a quantitative bibliometric analysis to critically review research on intercropping globally from 1995 to 2021. A total of 7574 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection were analyzed to explore the characteristics of publications, research hotspots, and future frontiers.Results The results showed that the number of publications related to intercropping increased since 2007, with Chinese scholars and research institutes contributing the most. The journal with the most publications was Agroforestry Systems, and Plant and Soil ranked fifth. Research on intercropping has evolved, with the focus shifting from yield and plant interspecific interactions and then to sustainable agriculture. Moreover, keyword burst analysis showed that research frontiers were mainly concentrated on sustainable intensification, microbial community, and climate change adaptation.Conclusions This study provides a better understanding of the progress in research on intercropping that has occurred over the past 27 years, offering ideas and references for future research.

Submerged macrophytes have attracted increasing attention in lake restoration due to the importance of their structuring communities and stabilizing functions in lake ecosystems. However, there is still a lack of systematic reviews on lake restoration with submerged macrophytes. Thus, we performed a systematic review based on a bibliometric analysis via analyzing and visualizing 934 published works from 1996 to 2023 from the Web of Science core collection. Publication characteristics were summarized, and keyword co-occurrence networks, reference co-citation analysis, and keyword burst tests were conducted. Our results suggest that the increasing attention in this field has partly resulted from the many water treatments and scientific schemes in Europe, China, and the USA and extensive international cooperation. The development of this field was divided into three stages based on keyword bursts (e.g., early, turning, and recent stages). Alternative stable states and biomanipulation laid the foundations of this field in the early stage. Progress in the field was discussed based on four aspects, the influence of environmental factors on submerged macrophytes, theory and mechanisms, targets, and evaluation and methods. Therefore, our results provide a new and comprehensive understanding of lake restoration with submerged macrophytes.

“…Bibliometric analysis is a scientific method that explores advances in a specific scientific field by quantitatively analyzing relevant knowledge carriers using modern techniques including computer engineering and statistics [19,20]. This approach identifies areas of research that are rapidly growing or declining in popularity by analyzing patterns of publication and citations [21]. In addition, the bibliometric analysis provides assessments of different journals, institutions, countries, and authors, and enables unbiased and quantitative assessments of research themes and collaboration trends [21,22].…”

Human activities and climate change have increased damage to riparian forest and their functions, stimulating interest in riparian restoration research and resulting in a surge of related publications. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of riparian restoration research has been lacking until recently. To understand trends and hotspots in riparian restoration research, we performed a literature search of riparian restoration publications from 1990 to 2022 based on the Web of Science database. We found 2121 peer-reviewed articles, and then each paper was bibliometrically researched, analyzing authors, institutions, countries, citations, journals, publication years, and keywords. The results showed a growing number of annual articles during 1990–2022, but declining average citations. Environmental science, ecology, biodiversity conservation, engineering, and forestry were popular fields in riparian restoration. Publications on the riparian restoration field were widely dispersed in different journals, but Restoration Ecology and Ecological Engineering have higher influence and more publications and citations than other journals. Lorenz A. W., Nilsson C., and Kondolf G. M. were the most competitive authors because of their high number of publications and citations. The USA had the greatest research output and the most citations. American scientists preferred national collaboration, while Switzerland scientists engaged more in international collaborations. Research focus shifted from ecosystems and rivers before the 21st century to management topics after 2001 and biodiversity and conservation after 2011. This study provides valuable insights into the progress of riparian restoration research globally.
