Abstract:

Agricultural ammonia emissions are not only related to agricultural production efficiency but also serve as indirect contributors to greenhouse gas generation. Crop rotation is one of the pivotal factors influencing agricultural ammonia emissions. This study, based on the Web of Science database and employing a bibliometric approach, aims to objectively analyze the research status and trends of crop rotation impacts on ammonia emissions during 2007—2024, providing scientific data references for relevant scholars. The results show that: (1) academic research in this field has exhibited phases of initiation, stable fluctuation, rapid growth, and decline, with publication output peaking in 2021—2022. (2) Research is concentrated in Chinese institutions, and all high-productivity authors are Chinese scholars, five of whom are from the Nanjing Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Domestic institutions and authors have close cooperation, while international cooperation needs to be further deepened. (3) The citation frequency of literatures has increased year by year, with rapid growth during 2018—2022 followed by a slowdown in growth rate, and highly cited papers derive from multiple countries. (4) Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed research hotspots focusing on ammonia volatilization, N2O emissions, soil and utilization efficiency, involving interdisciplinary integration of agronomy, environmental science, and ecology. Research indicates that there are still critical scientific issues to be addressed in the study of how crop rotation affects ammonia emissions. It is necessary to enhance collaboration among international researchers and institutions, focus on long-term positioning experiments and the application of emerging technologies, and promote interdisciplinary collaborative innovation. This will provide theoretical support and practical guidance for global agricultural environmental management.
