rubber (Hevea brasiliensis), agroforestry rubber forest, ecological restoration, CiteSpace, visualisation analysis.Abstract
Currently, more and more attention is being paid to ecological restoration, and research on ecological restoration of rubber forests is also developing. In this paper, using CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software and bibliometric analysis, the literature in the field of ecological restoration of rubber forests is visualized and analyzed to support the development of ecological restoration of rubber forests and provide guidance for further research. The results show that the most important research priorities and trends in the field of ecological restoration of rubber forests are currently:(1) Community structure and biodiversity of rubber forests and their influencing factors. Particular attention is paid to the diversity of understorey plants and microbial diversity in the soil. (2) Effects of the conversion of tropical rainforests into rubber forests. Particular attention will be paid to the impact on soil physicochemical properties, ecosystem functions, carbon stocks, biomass, etc. (3) Sustainable management of rubber forests: Special attention will be given to agroforestry rubber forests and the role of semi-natural management practices in the restoration of rubber forests. Future research should continue to promote breeding programs, further explore agroforestry rubber systems and improve management programs for rubber plantations, evaluate and implement ecological restoration projects, and integrate research on climate change and ecological restoration of rubber forests.
