Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Research on climate change has revealed a growing trend in extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and biodiversity loss. According to a new study, climate change has a significant impact on cotton production, with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Research Complex leading the investigation. The study employed bibliometric analysis and the TCCM framework to examine 1,194 documents and 91 documents, respectively, from the Scopus database using a systematic literature review. The research found that there was a paradigm shift on research topics related to irrigation, water management, and climate models in recent years.

Key Takeaways:

  • The study analyzed 1,194 documents using bibliometric analysis and 91 documents using the TCCM framework from the Scopus database.
  • The research trend revealed a continuous rise in studies on climate change, with Zhang being the most collaborative author and the United States holding the leading position in terms of collaboration.
  • The study found that climate change and "Bacillus thuringiensis" were the hot topics during 2000-2004.
  • There was a paradigm shift on research topics related to irrigation, irrigation systems, water management, water-use efficiency, water supply, evapotranspiration, and climate models during recent years.
  • The TCCM framework facilitated a coherent synthesis of current knowledge and formulated extensive recommendations for future research on the impact of climate change on cotton production.
  • Building on previous research, this study highlights the primary impacts of climate change on cotton farming.
  • The study included research from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Research Complex, Reg Stn, Cicr, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
  • The study highlighted the importance of addressing climate change in cotton production, with significant impacts on the environment and global warming.

Statistics:

  • 1,194 documents analyzed using bibliometric analysis,
  • 91 documents analyzed using the TCCM framework,
  • Continuous rise in studies on climate change,
  • Zhang being the most collaborative author,
  • United States holding the leading position in terms of collaboration,
  • 31 countries partnered with authors from the United States.
