Abstract: Based on 3230 research papers on conservation of ancient and famous trees obtained from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),this study employs bibliometric analysis to systematically examine research trends from 1994 to 2024. The results indicated that research in this field had undergone three phases:slow development,steady growth and significant expansion,with the highest number of publications recorded in 2023. Keyword analysis revealed that ancient and famous trees,conservation and conservation strategies were key research focuses,with camphor trees and ginkgo trees being the primary subject of tree species studies. The research predominantly emphasized engineering and technical aspects,with limited comprehensive analysis of cultural,social and ecological impacts. Moreover,the distribution of research institutions on conservation of ancient and famous trees was uneven,with East China accounting for the highest institutional density and publication output. To address these issues,this study advocates for enhanced research on tree species diversity,promoting interdisciplinary integration,considering regional disparities,strengthening policy support,and increasing public participation to advance comprehensive conservation efforts. The findings provide valuable scientific insights and practical references for policymakers and researchers.
