Mangroves are unique ecosystems that thrive in coastal areas,displaying a blend of terrestrial and marine characteristics. They hold significant ecological value and provide essential ecological services. In order to explore the current state of research in field of mangrove studies,this article utilizes the Web of Science core collection database spanning from 1996 to 2022. By employing visualization literature analysis software called Cite Space,statistical analysis was conducted on various aspects such as publication volume and trends,disciplines and journals,primary research countries and institutions,as well as research frontiers and hotspots. This comprehensive analysis aimed to offer insights into the latest developments and areas of focus within mangrove research. The results showed that:1) Since 1996,the number of publications in field of mangrove research has been continuously increasing,especially at the cut-off point of 2008,and the number of publications has shown an exponential growth trend since then; 2) The main disciplines involved include marine and freshwater biology,environmental science,and ecology; 3) The influential journals include Science,Nature,and Science of the Total Environment; 4) The main countries that publish articles are China,the United States,India,Brazil,and Australia,with China ranking first in terms of publication volume; 5) The main sending agencies are the Chinese Academy of Sciences,Florida State University,Sun Yat-sen University and Xiamen University; 6) The protection,management,and restoration of mangrove ecosystems,climate change,biodiversity,sediments,and blue carbon are all current research hotspots in the field of mangroves. Remote sensing data analysis,mangrove diversity and function,carbon storage,coral reef fish,and endophytic fungi such as Aspergillus are research frontiers in the field of mangrove research. This article reveals the current status,hotspots,and future development trends of mangrove research,providing reference for subsequent related research in this field.
