Abstract:
      In the present study, the research hotspots of environmental soil science in 2016 was explored based on the bibliometrics analysis and CiteSpace software. The results also reflected the frontiers in the area of agricultural environment to a certain extent. When soil was selected as the key word, we collected 11 747 SCI papers included on "Web of Science" on soil science and environmental science in 2016. The clustering results of key words in 11 747 papers showed that the main research hotspots were "heavy metal pollution and bioaccumulation effects", "soil organic pollution and biodegradation", "soil management and the recycling of elements", and "soil carbon sequestration and climate change". China and USA were the top two countries contributing to these papers, while Chinese Academy of Sciences and Northwest Agriculture & Forestry University were the top two institutions in China. And also 2936 papers were collected when we chose soil as the key word in CNKI, the clustering data showed that the main research hotspots in CNKI were "soil microbial and environmental pollution", "soil physicochemical properties and the movement of water and salts", "soil organic carbon and environmental effect", and "soil regional environment and spatial variation".
