Abstract

Abstract:

As the intensified climate change and rising stress from human activities on landscape patterns and landscape ecological processes, landscape connectivity research receives more and more attention worldwide. However, the relative research status and hotspots are still lack of systematic analysis. In this study, the number of papers, subject, study strength, and highly cited literature about landscape connectivity research from 2000 to 2021 were analyzed based on the Web of Science core collection database retrieval and the bibliometric software CiteSpace. The results showed that: (1) in the past 20 years, the research about landscape connectivity experienced the stages of slow development, steady growth and rapid development, and it was mainly distributed in ecology, environmental science and geographical science. (2) The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Normal University published many achievements in relative journals, greatly enhancing China’s international influence in this research field. (3) There was some basic research on landscape connectivity, including the exploration of species diffusion mechanism, the design and planning of nature reserves and ecological network, the analysis of landscape fragmentation, etc. The hotspots were mainly focused on developing and applying the related indicators and models of landscape connectivity. The current research frontiers include the quantification of sediment transport process from the perspective of connectivity, biodiversity conservation and assessment of ecosystem services, and the evaluation about the multi-scale effects of hydrological connectivity under the combined influence of climate change and human activities.

Key words: landscape connectivity, connectivity, landscape pattern, research hotpots, bibliometrics, CiteSpace
