Abstract:

In order to comprehensively analyze the research hotspots and development trends of Spartina alterniflora, the bibliometric software CiteSpace 6.1 R2 was used to sort out and visualize the literature of Spartina alterniflora in Web of Science and CNKI database. The results show that: (1) the number of published papers on Spartina alterniflora at home and abroad is increasing, and the total number of published papers in China has exceeded those of foreign countries since 2018. (2) Louisiana State University is the main institution that studies on Spartina alterniflora among the foreign research institutions, and Bertness M-Silliman B-Iribarne O, Mendelssohn I-Hester M, Morris J-Wigand C are paramount foreign research teams. Meanwhile, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences stands the forefront of domestic Spartina alterniflora research, and the major research teams are Li Bo-An Shuqing team, Zhang Liquan team, Tong Chuan-Zeng Congsheng-Wang Weiqi team. (3) The research of Spartina alterniflora has gone through the initial stage focusing on beach protection, the theoretical research stage based on physiology and ecology, and the development and implementation stage of prevention and control technologies to deal with the spread and invasion of Spartina alterniflora. (4) The core content of Spartina alterniflora research at home and abroad is essentially similar, but in the past 10 years, domestic research has focused on the impact of Spartina alterniflora invasion on native plants, invasion mechanism and control technologies. Based on this, this paper points out the need to pay more attention to solve such problems as scattered technology, high cost of prevention and control, re-invasion and potential pollution risk in Spartina alterniflora research in China, and the sustainable management technology of Spartina alterniflora should be formed as soon as possible to adapt to the characteristics of Chinese geographical environment. At present, the research on Spartina alterniflora is still in a period of rapid development, and the breadth and depth of research are constantly increasing. In the future, strengthening the scientific and technological support for the prevention and control of Spartina alterniflora and implementing comprehensive evaluations of whole process of Spartina alterniflora management are still the focus in the study of Spartina alterniflora.
