Resumen

Las zonas ribereñas (ZR) son entornos de transición en la interfaz entre los ecosistemas terrestres y de agua dulce, que son importantes en términos de servicios socioecológicos. En este trabajo reportamos un análisis de base bibliométrica para develar la estructura del conocimiento y los actores de la producción científica sobre las zonas ribereñas para los primeros 20 años del siglo XXI. Realizamos una búsqueda bibliográfica, consultando publicaciones sobre zonas ribereñas para el período 2001-2020. Los 1.171 registros bibliográficos seleccionados se analizaron extrayendo varios índices bibliométricos de tendencias de informes, ubicación, dinámica de colaboración y temas principales. Los resultados muestran que las publicaciones de RZ aumentaron considerablemente de 2001 a 2020, y las principales revistas que publican sobre el tema pertenecen a las áreas de agua, gestión ambiental y ecología. Estados Unidos, China, Brasil y Canadá fueron los países más productivos, mientras que las instituciones con mayor productividad fueron la Academia de Ciencias de China y la Universidad de Oregón. En términos de impacto, EE. UU., Canadá y Australia lideraron el número de citas, mientras que la red de colaboración de países mostró que los vínculos más fuertes se dan entre China y EE. UU. Nuestros resultados también muestran que se produjeron pocos estudios en países de ingresos bajos y medios, lo que sugiere la necesidad de canalizar fondos internacionales para estudiar los entornos ribereños en estos contextos geográficos. Según el análisis de frecuencia, los temas principales están relacionados con la calidad del agua y se centran en entornos lóticos. Aquí presentamos la principal estructura de conocimiento de los estudios de RZ a nivel mundial durante los primeros 20 años del siglo XXI.
