Impact of climate change on land degradation: A comprehensive review

Global climate change impacts negatively on soil fertility leading to land degradation. Increasing temperatures and droughts influence on land quality and agriculture activity. Current research activity proposed to investigate 536 final published papers by bibliometric analysis from Web of Science Core Collection database for the last 10 years applying "land degradation", "climate change" and "drought" keywords. Additionally, we identified publication trend, popular authors and institutions, top subject areas and journals, active countries and funding sponsors as well as co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence analysis.
