A Bibliometric Analysis of Lake Restoration with Submerged Macrophytes

Submerged macrophytes have attracted increasing attention in lake restoration due to the importance of their structuring communities and stabilizing functions ecosystems. However, there is still a lack systematic reviews on with submerged macrophytes. Thus, we performed review based bibliometric analysis via analyzing visualizing 934 published works from 1996 2023 Web Science core collection. Publication characteristics were summarized, keyword co-occurrence networks, reference co-citation analysis, burst tests conducted. Our results suggest that this field has partly resulted many water treatments scientific schemes Europe, China, USA extensive international cooperation. The development was divided into three stages bursts (e.g., early, turning, recent stages). Alternative stable states biomanipulation laid foundations early stage. Progress discussed four aspects, influence environmental factors macrophytes, theory mechanisms, targets, evaluation methods. Therefore, our provide new comprehensive understanding
