Abstract
This bibliometric analysis maps global research on the impacts of environmental pollution on biodiversity from 1990–2024. Using Scopus data processed with VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, and OpenRefine, the study identifies major publication trends and thematic structures. Research output surged after 2015, mirroring rising concern about ecosystem degradation. The United States and China dominate publication volume and collaboration networks. Core themes include heavy metals, microplastics, and persistent organic pollutants, with increasing focus on bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and ecosystem health risks. Thematic evolution shows a transition toward interdisciplinary and risk-oriented studies. Findings highlight geographic and funding disparities, underscoring the need for broader international participation. Despite database and keyword limitations, this study offers insights into how scientific communities respond to pollution-driven biodiversity loss and provides an evidence base for policy, education, and coordinated global research.
