Abstract

Reef restoration has gained attention as it has strategic actions and powerful means in sustaining and maintaining coastal ecosystem services. This scientometric study systematically analyzes the current trends and research hotspot in coral restoration across the last five decades (1971–2022). The metadata (12,667 articles with 652,860 cited references) were obtained from the Clarivate Web of Science platform through the Core Collection database, associated with the CiteSpace and R‐software for further analysis. The results indicated that the trend of coral restoration is increasing in paper/year, with the United States, Australia, and China as major contributors to the related research. Furthermore, James Cook University, Australia had the largest number of articles, and the Consortium of Research Libraries of the United Kingdom was the most influential institution on coral restoration. The highly cited keywords are “Great Barrier Reef,” “climate change,” and “coral reef,” while the most influential keywords are “coral,” “model,” and “Atlantic.” A total of 23 clusters in the field with “coral reef,” “phase shift,” “bacterial communities,” “coral restoration,” “symbiotic dinoflagellate,” “stony coral tissue loss disease,” “bleaching event,” “ocean acidification,” “oyster reef,” and “quantitative reconstruction” are among the top cluster size labeled. Early‐stage researcher may use both keywords and cluster analysis to find topics attractive to their future research projects. In addition, this study contributes toward evaluating recent scientific productivity about coral restoration as well as informing researchers and policymakers regarding funding, future strategic planning, and potential collaboration opportunities.
珊瑚恢复:通过科学计量分析进行绘图审查
珊瑚礁修复是维持和维护沿海生态系统服务的战略行动和有力手段,因而备受关注。本科学计量学研究系统分析了过去五十年(1971-2022 年)珊瑚礁恢复的当前趋势和研究热点。元数据(12,667 篇文章,652,860 条引用参考文献)来自 Clarivate Web of Science 平台的 Core Collection 数据库,与 CiteSpace 和 R 软件相关联,用于进一步分析。结果表明,珊瑚修复的论文呈逐年递增趋势,美国、澳大利亚和中国是相关研究的主要贡献者。此外,澳大利亚詹姆斯-库克大学的论文数量最多,英国研究图书馆联盟是在珊瑚修复方面最有影响力的机构。高被引关键词是 "大堡礁"、"气候变化 "和 "珊瑚礁",而最有影响力的关键词是 "珊瑚"、"模型 "和 "大西洋"。该领域共有 23 个聚类,其中 "珊瑚礁"、"相变"、"细菌群落"、"珊瑚修复"、"共生甲藻"、"石珊瑚组织缺失症"、"白化事件"、"海洋酸化"、"牡蛎礁 "和 "定量重建 "都是标注聚类规模最大的关键词。早期研究人员可以利用关键词和聚类分析来寻找对其未来研究项目有吸引力的主题。此外,本研究还有助于评估近期有关珊瑚礁恢复的科学生产力,并为研究人员和决策者提供有关资金、未来战略规划和潜在合作机会的信息。

期刊介绍: Restoration Ecology fosters the exchange of ideas among the many disciplines involved with ecological restoration. Addressing global concerns and communicating them to the international research community and restoration practitioners, the journal is at the forefront of a vital new direction in science, ecology, and policy. Original papers describe experimental, observational, and theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine, and freshwater systems, and are considered without taxonomic bias. Contributions span the natural sciences, including ecological and biological aspects, as well as the restoration of soil, air and water when set in an ecological context; and the social sciences, including cultural, philosophical, political, educational, economic and historical aspects. Edited by a distinguished panel, the journal continues to be a major conduit for researchers to publish their findings in the fight to not only halt ecological damage, but also to ultimately reverse it.
