Abstract:

To understand the development history, current situation and research frontier of forest soil microorganisms, this paper used Citespace to analyze the development, research hotspots and related contents of forest soil microorganisms from 1990 to 2022 based on WOS core database. The results showed that forest microbial research had been led by the United States since 1990, and had been gradually overtaken by China since 2018. The Chinese Academy of Sciences, as the institution with the largest number of papers published in the world, had been cited with a frequency of 22.45. Keyword analysis found that the research of forest soil microorganisms was related to nitrogen, and the heat kept from 1990 to 2007. At the same time, the research on coniferous forests broke out after 1992, and with the passage of time and the progress of molecular biology and genetics, after 2013, the research gradually began to be linked to software analysis and computer prediction, and the morphological characteristics, diversity and function of microbial communities were deeply dissected and made results more accurate and convincing. The top five in the co-citation analysis were ectomycorrhizal fungi, soil respiration, bacterial community, increased carbon dioxide concentration and the Loess Plateau of China, which indicated that these directions were particularly important for the study of forest soil microorganisms. The Loess Plateau was a typical area of China, and its related research might be the focus of attention in China in the future. This article only made a rough summary and analysis of the direction of forest soil microorganisms.
