Benthic biofilms are widespread in aquatic environments, and these complex microbial communities respond rapidly to environmental changes. In this chapter, we utilized VOSviewer software to screen and analyze 543 papers from the WOS core library that were published between 1995 and 2023 that were related to benthic biofilms and environmental systems. The area’s trend was identified as nascent growth (1995–2004), steady growth (2005–2017), and rapid growth (2018–2023). Nutrient regimes have been the focus of attention, the study of environmental regimes has shifted to become more specific to aquatic environments, climate change, and the communities of benthic biofilms have shifted from monolithic to diverse. In this review, the response of benthic biofilms to environmental regimes, including their diversity, abundance, and function, is discussed. Future research should evaluate and analyze benthic biofilms as a comprehensive polytropic community using stable isotopes. Additionally, it should improve the monitoring of environmental conditions at different time intervals and geographical locations by employing innovative sensors. This will enable the prediction of potential shifts in aquatic ecosystems and provide guidance for conservation strategies.

摘要

Benthic biofilms are widespread in aquatic environments, and these complex microbial communities respond rapidly to environmental changes. In this chapter, we utilized VOSviewer software to screen and analyze 543 papers from the WOS core library that were published between 1995 and 2023 that were related to benthic biofilms and environmental systems. The area’s trend was identified as nascent growth (1995–2004), steady growth (2005–2017), and rapid growth (2018–2023). Nutrient regimes have been the focus of attention, the study of environmental regimes has shifted to become more specific to aquatic environments, climate change, and the communities of benthic biofilms have shifted from monolithic to diverse. In this review, the response of benthic biofilms to environmental regimes, including their diversity, abundance, and function, is discussed. Future research should evaluate and analyze benthic biofilms as a comprehensive polytropic community using stable isotopes. Additionally, it should improve the monitoring of environmental conditions at different time intervals and geographical locations by employing innovative sensors. This will enable the prediction of potential shifts in aquatic ecosystems and provide guidance for conservation strategies.
