Abstract

This article seeks to evaluate the scientific landscape of the phytoremediation of mine tailings through a series of bibliometric and scientometric techniques. Phytoremediation has emerged as a sustainable approach to remediate metal-contaminated mine waste areas. A scientometric analysis of 913 publications indexed in Web of Science from 1999 to 2023 was conducted using CiteSpace. The results reveal an expanding, interdisciplinary field with environmental sciences as the core category. Keyword analysis of 561 nodes and 2,825 links shows a focus on plant-metal interactions, microbial partnerships, bioavailability, and field validation. Co-citation analysis of 1,032 nodes and 2,944 links identifies seminal works on native species, plant-microbe interactions, and amendments. Temporal mapping of 15 co-citation clusters indicates a progression from early risk assessments and native plant inquiries to integrated biological systems, economic feasibility, and sustainability considerations. Recent trends emphasize multidimensional factors influencing adoption, such as plant-soil-microbe interactions, organic amendments, and field-scale performance evaluation. The findings demonstrate an intensifying translation of phytoremediation from scientific novelty to engineering practice. This quantitative and qualitative analysis of research trends aids in understanding the development of phytoremediation for mine tailings. The results provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in this evolving field.

尾矿植物修复的科学前景：文献计量学和科学计量学分析。

本文旨在通过一系列文献计量学和科学计量学技术，评估矿山尾矿植物修复的科学前景。植物修复已成为修复受金属污染的矿山废料区的一种可持续方法。我们利用 CiteSpace 对 1999 年至 2023 年期间被 Web of Science 索引的 913 篇出版物进行了科学计量分析。结果显示，以环境科学为核心类别的跨学科领域正在不断扩大。对 561 个节点和 2,825 个链接进行的关键词分析表明，该领域的重点是植物与金属的相互作用、微生物伙伴关系、生物利用率和实地验证。通过对 1,032 个节点和 2,944 个链接进行共引分析，发现了有关本地物种、植物与微生物相互作用以及改良剂的重要著作。15 个共同引用集群的时间映射表明，从早期的风险评估和本地植物调查到综合生物系统、经济可行性和可持续性考虑，都在不断进步。最近的趋势强调了影响采用的多维因素，如植物-土壤-微生物相互作用、有机添加剂和田间规模的性能评估。研究结果表明，植物修复技术正在从科学新知向工程实践转化。对研究趋势的定量和定性分析有助于了解矿山尾矿植物修复技术的发展。研究结果为这一不断发展的领域的研究人员和从业人员提供了宝贵的见解。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Phytoremediation (IJP) is the first journal devoted to the publication of laboratory and field research describing the use of plant systems to solve environmental problems by enabling the remediation of soil, water, and air quality and by restoring ecosystem services in managed landscapes. Traditional phytoremediation has largely focused on soil and groundwater clean-up of hazardous contaminants. Phytotechnology expands this umbrella to include many of the natural resource management challenges we face in cities, on farms, and other landscapes more integrated with daily public activities. Wetlands that treat wastewater, rain gardens that treat stormwater, poplar tree plantings that contain pollutants, urban tree canopies that treat air pollution, and specialized plants that treat decommissioned mine sites are just a few examples of phytotechnologies.
