“…The significant increase happened in the 2000s and peaked in 2013 with 100 articles. Similar trends can also be seen in life cycle sustainability analysis, where articles increased significantly from 2010 to 2022 (Biró and Szalmáné Csete, 2023).…”

Climate change mitigation and adaptation are essential issues at many summit meetings. Environmental assessment is a possible tool to describe the potential sequestration of carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. The forest carbon stock and life cycle assessment approach was used here to analyze poplar plantations in Hungary. This study aims to describe the research trends of environmental assessment of poplar plantations in Hungary using VOSviewer software. A total of 1,528 documents from the Scopus database were used in this research. VOSviewer analysis was conducted to detail the bibliometric maps from generic (“forest” OR “forestry” AND “Hungary”), medium (“poplar” AND “Hungary”), and specific (“poplar” AND “carbon” AND “Hungary” / (“poplar” AND “life cycle assessment”) OR (“LCA” AND “Hungary”). The findings show that the number of documents on forest research in Hungary has increased significantly since the 2000s. However, items on environmental assessment, either forest carbon or life cycle assessment, produced only a tiny number with weak links. In conclusion, i). the large number of collected documents produced more clusters; ii). The item of Hungary is the most frequently used keyword in the research article; and iii). The research theme of environmental assessment (carbon sequestration and life cycle assessment) of poplar plantations in Hungary is the continuing lack of knowledge. Furthermore, the research on biodiversity and climate change mitigation (carbon stock and sequestration) were prominent topics that many researchers do. In the future, research on climate change mitigation through the life cycle assessment to analyze global warming potential (GWP) from forestry activities is a prospective research topic to enrich the study on poplar bioenergy plantations.

“…Moreover, conducting a life cycle assessment is a crucial step towards promoting improvements aimed at mitigating climate change. This approach can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance adaptation to anticipated changes across all sectors, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of climate change (Biró & Szalmáné Csete, 2023). The present study, which examines research topics spanning from 1966 to 2022, suggests that its diversity and interdisciplinary nature characterise the field of solid waste management.…”

Implementing efficient solid waste management practices is paramount in safeguarding the long-term viability of our planet’s natural resources and ecosystems. In addition, it represents a reasonable approach to future management decisions. This study aims to analyse the trend of solid waste management research publications in the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases. ScientoPy was used to analyse the datasets in this study by defining publication growth, projected subject areas, productive source titles, productive countries, and the most frequently used keywords over time. The findings of this study underscored that the Scopus and WoS databases evince a steady escalation in publications throughout the years, with a marked upswing from the outset of the 21st century. The three subject areas with the most published documents are Environmental Sciences & Ecology, Engineering, and Science & Technology - Other Topics. India has been found to possess the highest count of published documents, amounting to 474 papers, and displays a comparatively high percentage of documents published in 2021 and 2022 (PDLY) of 23%. Based on an analysis of research topics, it has been determined that solid waste management is a multifaceted and interdisciplinary area of research that encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to sustainability and life cycle assessment. This input provides valuable insights that can aid in comprehending issues, addressing gaps, and directing future research endeavours, particularly those related to ecological cycles. Such insights can assist researchers in resolving pressing concerns and generating innovative solutions. Prospective studies in solid waste management may focus on innovative waste treatment technologies, policy analysis, economic implications, and investigation of emerging issues such as sustainability and life cycle assessment. Interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing can facilitate the resolution of solid waste management issues.
