Additionally, we explored publication trend, leading authors, popular subject areas, active institutions, prominent financial supporters, remarkable journals and top countries. Total research interest has increased since 2016, reaching its maximum point in 2021 with a 14.3% contribution. Additionally, Chinese researchers have dominated global scientific output in this field especially Wang. Y had contributed 3.1% to total publications. Environmental Sciences Ecology occupied the leadership as the research topic matches the most, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences contributed a 7.8% share to total publications, demonstrating strong research interest. The National Natural Science Foundation of China was mentioned as a remarkable leader with 18.4% contribution. Water journal produced the most papers with 8.5% share.
