Focused on Urban Green Space Networks (UGSNs), this study delivers a comprehensive bibliometric synthesis of carbon sink assessment and sequestration technology developments globally. Using the Web of Science Core Collection database (2000–2024) and visualization tools such as CiteSpace, we analyzed 148 articles to identify three distinct research stages: budding (2007–2011), exploration (2012–2019), and rapid development (2020–2025). Key findings reveal China, the U.S., and the U.K. as dominant contributors in research output and international collaboration. Highly cited studies emphasize carbon sequestration mechanisms and ecosystem services, while emerging hotspots include carbon neutrality, green infrastructure, and smart carbon sequestration systems. We systematically categorize carbon sinks assessment methodologies into multi-source data fusion, model development, and socio-economic-environmental coupling, providing a structured framework to advance methodological rigor. Challenges such as temporal-spatial monitoring limitations, technological fragmentation, and climate impacts are critically addressed. Future directions prioritize interdisciplinary integration, community-based carbon sink management, and AI-driven optimization of UGSNs. This research provides theoretical frameworks and actionable strategies for advancing urban carbon neutrality and sustainable development.

摘要

Focused on Urban Green Space Networks (UGSNs), this study delivers a comprehensive bibliometric synthesis of carbon sink assessment and sequestration technology developments globally. Using the Web of Science Core Collection database (2000–2024) and visualization tools such as CiteSpace, we analyzed 148 articles to identify three distinct research stages: budding (2007–2011), exploration (2012–2019), and rapid development (2020–2025). Key findings reveal China, the U.S., and the U.K. as dominant contributors in research output and international collaboration. Highly cited studies emphasize carbon sequestration mechanisms and ecosystem services, while emerging hotspots include carbon neutrality, green infrastructure, and smart carbon sequestration systems. We systematically categorize carbon sinks assessment methodologies into multi-source data fusion, model development, and socio-economic-environmental coupling, providing a structured framework to advance methodological rigor. Challenges such as temporal-spatial monitoring limitations, technological fragmentation, and climate impacts are critically addressed. Future directions prioritize interdisciplinary integration, community-based carbon sink management, and AI-driven optimization of UGSNs. This research provides theoretical frameworks and actionable strategies for advancing urban carbon neutrality and sustainable development.
