摘要

Seagrass meadows represent significant coastal ecosystems globally, offering essential habitat, enhancing biodiversity, and functioning as vital blue carbon sinks. Monitoring of these habitats is crucial for comprehending ecological dynamics, evaluating ecosystem health and informing conservation strategies. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric and network analysis of seagrass monitoring research employing remote sensing and machine learning technologies. One hundred forty-five publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) from 1996 to 2025 were analyzed to evaluate publication trends, leading contributors, collaboration patterns, and technological advancements. The results indicate a distinct upward growth trend, elevating from a sole publication in 1996 to a peak of 19 publications in 2022. The USA, Australia, Indonesia, China, and the United Kingdom exhibit the highest cumulative publication output, whereas the USA, Australia, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Canada represent the highest total citations. Additionally, the most productive institutions comprise the University of Queensland (Australia), Gadjah Mada University (Indonesia), the State University System of Florida (USA), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), and Nantes Université (France). The field has methodologically progressed from early studies that relied on field-based ground truthing in the late 1990s to the contemporary application of ultra-high spatial resolution imagery and machine learning techniques, including support vector machines (SVM) and random forests (RF). Notwithstanding these advancements, research continues to be predominantly focused in developed nations, with minimal input from emerging regions. This analysis underscores technological advancements and ongoing geographic disparities in seagrass monitoring research.
