摘要:喀斯特植被是喀斯特生态系统结构与功能稳定的重要维持者。国内外****较早关注喀斯特植被的结构、功能和管理等方面研究并发表了诸多成果，但对该领域的发展历程、研究趋势和热点等却鲜有评论。利用1990-2017年Web of Science（WoS）和CNKI数据库中喀斯特植被生态学研究的相关文献信息，运用文献计量统计和可视化方法对年度发文量、引用频次、作者、国家、机构、期刊、关键词等进行分析，解析了28年间国内外该领域的研究态势并对未来发展提出了建议。结果表明，1990-2017年间WoS和CNKI数据库中分别收录了该领域文献457篇和1256篇，28年间发文量呈现波动增长趋势，且在2006年后步入快速发展期。WoS中的文献涉及全球60个国家，我国的发文量占发文总量的50.33%，遥居全球榜首，其次是美国和斯洛文尼亚等国。此外，发文量前10的作者均来自我国，发文量较多的机构也多来自我国，这充分表明我国****在喀斯特植被生态学方面的研究非常活跃，是全球该领域前沿动向和发展趋势的引领者。期刊分析结果表明，《Environmental Earth Sciences》和《生态学报》分别是该领域外文和中文文献的主要期刊载体。喀斯特、植被和石漠化等为文献高频度关键词，表明喀斯特石漠化区域的植被恢复是该领域的研究热点和核心内容。为促进喀斯特植被生态学研究的发展，建议国内外****以及机构间加强合作，建立全球的喀斯特植被监测网络，长期观测并对比分析不同区域或类型喀斯特植被的动态过程和生态功能演变机理。此外，运用大数据、遥感、野外控制实验、数学模型和系统发育等方法构建适用于喀斯特生境的植被格局、过程与动态的生态理论、假说或模型，进一步揭示变化环境下喀斯特植物群落的构建过程、植物多样性的多尺度格局、退化植被的适应性修复等科学问题。



Abstract:Karst vegetation is an important maintainer of the structural and functional stabilities of karst ecosystems. The structure, function, and management of karst vegetation have attracted considerable researchers’ attention. However, only few have reviewed the development process as well as research trends and hotspots in this field. We analyzed the annual publication volumes, citation frequency, authors, nations, institutions, periodicals, and keywords in the Web of Science (WoS) and CNKI databases from 1990 to 2017 by using bibliometric statistics and visualization methods. We summarized the research trends worldwide in the past 28 years and provided suggestions for future development. From 1990 to 2017, the WoS and CNKI databases included 457 and 1256 papers in this field, respectively. The publication volumes showed a fluctuating upward tendency, and the research in this field exhibited a rapid development after 2007. The literatures in WoS covered 60 countries, with China accounting for 50.33% of the total (ranking first in the world), followed by the United States and Slovenia. In addition, the top 10 authors of the publication volumes are all from China. Most institutions were also in China. This information fully demonstrates that Chinese scholars are very active in the study of karst vegetation ecology and are the global leaders of the frontier and development trends in this field. The journal analysis shows that Environmental Earth Sciences and Acta Ecologica Sinica are the main journal carriers of foreign and Chinese papers in this field, respectively. Karst, vegetation, and rocky desertification are the high-frequency keywords in the literatures. Thus, vegetation restoration in karst rocky desertification areas is the main research focus and core content in this field. To promote the development of karst vegetation ecology, scholars and institutions in China and abroad should strengthen cooperation to establish global monitoring network of karst vegetation. It is necessary to observe, compare, and analyze the dynamic process and mechanisms of ecological function evolution of karst vegetation in different regions or types for long terms. In addition, various methods, such as large-data gathering, remote sensing, field-controlled experiments, mathematical modeling, and phylogenetic analysis should be used to construct ecological theories, hypotheses or models suitable for vegetation patterns, processes and dynamics in karst habitats. Such cooperation and interdisciplinary approach would further reveal the scientific issues encountered under changing environments (climate, human disturbance, and other factors), such as the assembly process of karst plant communities, multi-scale patterns of plant diversity, and adaptive restoration of degraded vegetation.
