The microplastics pollution in agricultural soils global trends and prospects research: bibliometric analysis
Summary
This bibliometric analysis reviewed global research trends on microplastic pollution in agricultural soils, finding rapidly growing scientific interest and identifying key knowledge gaps. Soil microplastic contamination poses risks to soil health, crop growth, and ultimately human food safety.
Abstract Microplastics are a relatively new environmental problem with many blind spots. There is more and more evidence that the contamination of agricultural soils with this pollutant can lead to negative consequences for soil properties, microflora and the soil animals and plants vital activity. Bibliometrics can help to understand global research trends and academic collaboration networks. In this article, a bibliometric analysis of the topic of microplastics pollution in agricultural soils was carried out, the publication activity dynamics was determined, and a map of cooperation between the most active countries was built. A bibliographic map was created, which made it possible to identify six main thematic areas of research. This study can be used in planning and conducting research in Russia.
