To analyze the effects of urbanization on surface climate, runoff, and carbon assimilation through a bibliometric review.
Performed bibliometric analysis on 392 publications from Scopus and Web of Science
Examined themes in urbanization effects on heat islands, runoff, and carbon sequestration
Identified trends in publication growth, spatial research distribution, and collaboration patterns.
Exponential increase in research output, predominantly from China, followed by USA and India
Thematic structuring reveals gaps in arid and tropical areas and lack of longitudinal studies on urban planning effects
Highlighted the significant role of remote sensing and advanced modeling in understanding urban impacts.
