Implication

Comparative scientometric analysis reveals global trends in urban green space carbon sink research, highlighting China's significant advances.

Key Points

  • This study analyzes the global research trajectory on urban green spaces as carbon sinks and explores China's role in this area.
  • Conducted a comparative scientometric analysis of 526 publications from the Web of Science and CNKI databases.
  • Evaluated research evolution before and after the 2015 Paris Agreement, focusing on methodological shifts and output trends.
  • Identified challenges in urban carbon sink assessment and highlighted approaches using remote sensing and machine learning.
  • Notable increase in Chinese research output post-2020, establishing China as a leading contributor.
  • Shift in research focus towards policy integration and sustainable urban development post-2015.
  • Highlighted an 'ecological analogy trap' that neglects urban-specific factors in carbon assessments.
