摘要
世界范围内关于兰科种类繁多的科学出版物非常全面,但非洲对这种分类群的狂热只是在几十年前才感受到。这一最大的濒危开花植物科广泛分布于热带地区,因其环境、观赏和药用价值而得到几位作者的认可。本文旨在利用共被引分析和文献计量信息可视化技术,确定非洲兰花的研究模式。对1968年至2020年5月在Scopus数据库中收录的386篇有关非洲兰花的出版物进行了记录和回顾。兰花新分类群的描述、兰花对各种传粉媒介的适应和系统发育成为讨论最多的方面。总共有889位作者投资于非洲的兰花研究。最具影响力的作者是约翰逊·史蒂文·d, h指数为37。有趣的是,有几个机构参与了这些研究,其中以南非的夸祖鲁-纳塔尔大学(University of KwaZulu-Natal)占主导地位。今后的研究应以兰花新种的鉴定为目标,重视兰花的分布、生态和物种威胁。他们还应该注重制定有效的兰花品种管理和驯化策略,以减少对该科的威胁。退化兰花生境的恢复和保护规划是未来研究的另一个途径。
Research trends and perspectives on African orchids: a bibliometric overview
Worldwide scientific publications on the remarkably diverse Orchidaceae family are comprehensive, but Africa's craze for the taxon was only felt a few decades ago. This largest and threatened family of flowering plants is widely distributed in tropical areas and recognized by several authors for its environmental, ornamental, and medicinal importance. This review aims to identify research patterns on African orchids using co-citation analysis and bibliometric information visualization. 386 publications concerning African orchids listed in the Scopus database from 1968 to May 2020 were recorded and reviewed. The description of new orchid taxa, the adaptation of orchids to various pollinators and phylogeny emerged as the most discussed aspects. In total, 889 authors have invested in research on orchids in Africa. Johnson Steven D. was the most impactful author with h-index 37. Interestingly, several institutions were involved in these studies with a large dominance of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, a South African University. Future research efforts should target the identification of new orchid species and emphasize on orchid distribution, ecology, and species’ threats. They should also focus on developing efficient management and domestication strategies for orchid species to reduce threats to this family. The restoration and conservation planning of degraded orchid habitats are additional avenues to be explored by future research.
