摘要

Community forestry restoration denotes forest restoration projects wherein local communities are actively involved in the management, conservation, and rehabilitation of forest resources. This bibliometric analysis of community forest restoration research from 2000 to 2025 reveals publication trends, notable authors, and key institutions. A total of 119 documents published across 84 sources, including journals, books, and conference proceedings, were analyzed. The field demonstrated a strong growth trajectory with an annual growth rate of 9.59%. The publications received an average of 17.62 citations per document, indicating substantial scholarly impact. The analysis identified 531 authors, with an average of 4.65 co-authors per document, reflecting a highly collaborative research landscape. International collaboration was also notable, with 37.82% of publications involving international co-authorship. Research output increased markedly over the study period, reaching its highest level with 18 publications in 2025. Community forest restoration is constrained by land-use conflicts, forest degradation, weak governance, limited resources, and climate change. Sustainable restoration requires collaborative, adaptive, and community-driven approaches.
