Abstract:

The study aims to objectively analyze the research status of forest soil microbial diversity at home and abroad, and summarize the key points and weaknesses of the current research, in order to provide data reference for scientific researchers and decision makers engaged in forest soil microbe. The retrieving term was “forest and (soil microbial diversity or soil bacterial diversity or soil fungal diversity)” based on the Web of Science database, and the retrieving period was 2007-2020. VOSviewer software was used for visual analysis. A total of 4266 documents were retrieved from the Web of Science database, and publications increased from 2007 to 2020. China had the top 3 research institutions in this field, and the articles published by Chinese Academy of Sciences were the most (477), accounting for 11.18% of the total. The paper entitled The unseen majority: Soil microbes as drivers of plant diversity and productivity in terrestrial ecosystems published by van der Heijden from the Netherlands was the most cited article and had great influence. Environmental science and ecology, agronomy and microbiology were the main research directions in this field. From the high-frequency keywords, it can be seen that the current research hotspots mainly focus on the interaction between environmental factors (e.g. carbon, nitrogen, organic matter) and microbial diversity.
