El desarrollo urbano no controlado está generando un desequilibrio en los ecosistemas urbanos y los servicios ecosistémicos que estos proveen. Este trabajo es una revisión sistemática y un análisis bibliométrico de los resultados de investigaciones científicas en agroforestería urbana, con el propósito de identificar tendencias mundiales en esta área del conocimiento. El análisis bibliométrico se realizó con base en una revisión de las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science (WoS). Todos los registros obtenidos fueron analizados mediante la teoría de grafos y algunas herramientas como bibliometrix, Sci2 Tool y Gephi, las cuales se dividen en tres categorías: clásica, estructural y reciente. Este ejercicio identificó cuatro perspectivas: agrosilvicultura e infraestructuras verdes urbanas, agroforestería urbana como servicio de aprovisionamiento, valoración de los servicios ecosistémicos urbanos e impactos de la agroforestería en los territorios.

Main Agroecological Structures (MAS) have been demonstrated to play a critical role in pollinator conservation, agroecological resilience, and the provisioning of essential ecosystem services such as pollination. The present study aims to evaluate the scientific development and understanding of MAS and their impact on beekeeping and associated biodiversity, particularly under land degradation and climate change pressures. A bibliometric analysis and systematic review of 73 peer-reviewed articles retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) was conducted. The Tree of Science was utilised to categorise the extant literature into three fundamental perspectives: classical (roots), structural (trunk), and recent (branches and leaves). The findings indicate that spatial heterogeneity and ecological connectivity of landscapes substantially impact the stability and functionality of plant–pollinator networks. While agroforestry systems have been shown to enhance pollinator richness, they frequently fail to replicate the biodiversity levels found in native ecosystems. The review also identifies key threats to sustainability, including agricultural intensification, overuse of agrochemicals, and habitat loss. These factors are exacerbated by climate change and compromise the sustainability of apicultural systems. In response, the study presents a series of pragmatic recommendations for agroecological management and environmental policy-making, encompassing the establishment of biological corridors, the promotion of diversified agricultural practices, and the development of multifunctional landscapes that support pollinators and other beneficial species. There are critical research gaps that require attention. These include the necessity for long-term studies on pollinator dynamics in fragmented landscapes and the impact of agrochemical reduction. This work provides a robust foundation to guide climate-resilient agroforestry strategies that advance biodiversity conservation, sustainable land management, and SDG 15 targets.
El alto impacto ambiental de los desechos sólidos y líquidos que contienen elementos tóxicos y metales está teniendo un impacto negativo en diversos ecosistemas, este trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión sistemática y análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica, con la esperanza de comprender la capacidad de retención y absorción de biocarbón, análisis Capacidad de diferentes biochars para ciertos elementos contaminantes incluyendo metales pesados; el análisis bibliométrico se realizó a través de una revisión de las bases de datos web of science (WoS) y Scopus. Los registros obtenidos se analizan utilizando teoría de grafos y herramientas como bibliometrix, Sci2 Tool, Gephi, se dividen en tres categorías: clásica, estructural y reciente, donde se obtienen tres perspectivas: captación de metales pesados, biodisponibilidad y contaminantes; De igual manera, se identificó que el campo de estudio es nuevo. El principal autor es Yang Yi, autores importantes como Geng Yong y Liang Dong cuentan con un H-index bastante alto. Adicionalmente, los países con mayor producción en el tema son: CHINA que ocupa el primer lugar, USA con el segundo lugar y KOREA con el tercer puesto.
Synergy between pollinators and flower strips is an emerging strategy that favors agricultural sustainability and biodiversity conservation. Bees and other pollinators, together with flower strips, are crucial components that can be exploited to improve pollination and biological pest control in crops. However, few publications review the topic, especially in Colombia. Therefore, to Know and understand this intersection will enable the development of more appropriate management tools to maximize ecological and agricultural benefits. We compiled studies based on a bibliometric and systematic analysis using the Web of Science database (WoS) of either approach that looked for an association pollinators/flower strips. The records obtained were analyzed using graph theory and tools such as VOSviwer and Tree of Science divided into three categories: classical, structural and recent. 155 studies were identified the main author was Tscharntke Teja, important authors such as Klein, Alexandra and Potts, Simon have an H-index of 74 and 80 respectively. In addition, the countries with the highest production in this area are Germany in first place, England in second and the United States in third, allowing to conclude that the integration of pollinators and floral strips has awakened a growing interest among international communities, although it is still considered an emerging field within scientific research. The research outcomes provide valuable insights for future research trends and agricultural policies focused on biodiversity conservation and mitigation the effects of climate change. The findings suggest that flower strips in enhancing ecosystem services, underlining their role in increasing biodiversity and the resilience of agroecosystems.
