A Scientometric Review of The Impacts of Global Climate Change Towards Marine Biodiversity Research: The Rise and Progress

Marine biodiversity contains various unique life in the sea, from taxa to the ecosystem and provides valuable food sources and ecosystem services to humans and the environment. Climate change impacts towards marine biodiversity and ecosystem services have been done previously by various authors and countries. However, there is limited evidence on its impacts, especially in the form of scientometric study. The current study aimed to give an overview on the impact of climate change towards global marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. A scientometric methodology was implemented using the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database for the period from January 1970 to May 2021. Based on articles retrieved from the WoS, we found that the search query retrieved 2161 documents within the research area climate change, marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. A total of 60,051 times cited the total publication (i.e. 2161) with the h-index of 104 (i.e. 104 publications have received a minimum of 104 citations each) and an average of 27.79 citation per article (i.e. item). Research on this area has seen contributions from 3159 organisations worldwide with a huge number of authors involved, 10,319 in total.
