“…Publication fronts of some relevant literature reviews and meta-analyses are related to carbon storage estimation of forest ecosystem, the economics of forest carbon offsets, FCS cost studies, policy design for FCS, economics and policy of carbon sequestration, cost of carbon offsets, and economics of forest ecosystem carbon sinks (Richards and Stokes 2004;Van Kooten et al 2004;Van Kooten and Sohngen 2007;Bangsund and Leistritz 2008;Van Kooten and Johnston 2016;Gren and Zeleke 2016;Sun and Liu 2020). Further, there are studies (Nardi et al 2016;Uribe-Toril et al 2019;Omoregbe et al 2020;Yu et al 2020;Wei et al 2021) that have carried out bibliographic analysis also known as advanced statistic based science mapping by applying various bibliometric units let it be coauthorship, bibliographic coupling, co-citation, and co-occurrence analysis of key authors, documents, sources, references, institutions, countries, and keywords considering various research domains, i.e., payments for ecosystem services, carbon capture technologies for climate change mitigation, trends in carbon offset research, structure and evolution of forest research, etc. But to our knowledge, none of the studies has performed the bibliometric analysis on economics of forest carbon sequestration.…”
