Bibliometric analysis reveals research trends and thematic clusters in social-ecological systems and disasters.
Understanding the dynamics of social-ecological systems (SES) in the context of disasters is essential to bridge the interactions among humans, the environment and disaster risks. This perspective supports the development of disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies and the strengthening of community resilience while addressing practical and scientific gaps in the literature. The present study analysed global research trends on SES and disasters, focusing on publication patterns, thematic clusters and the geographical distribution of contributions. It employed a bibliometric analysis of 140 Scopus-indexed papers retrieved with relevant keywords. Network visualisation and data-density techniques were applied to identify research trends, thematic groupings and regional participation. The results highlight emerging themes and recurrent topics within SES and disaster studies, with substantial contributions from the United States, China, Germany and Australia and a steady annual increase in publications.
