Abstract: In order to find out the research status of bryophytes at home and abroad,this paper uses Excel,VOSviewer and other software to carry out bibliometric sorting and visual analysis of the literature on bryophytes in CNKI and Web of Science databases and analyses some information of some researches on fund sources,institutions,national cooperation,disciplines,keywords,annual publication volume.The results showed a fact that from 1980to 2021,international bryophyte research was in a growing trend and is far ahead of China,while domestic bryophyte-related research was also catching up and was in a period of vigorous development.The National Natural Science Foundation of China is the main funding source for bryophyte researchers in China.The Chinese Academy of Sciences and research institutions in in Europe were leaders in global bryophyte research,among which the United States,China,and Germany were among the best,reflecting their relatively large scientific research influence.There was a trend of integration of bryophytes and ecology,plant science,environmental science and other disciplines at home and abroad.Questions like Bryophyte diversity,flora,heavy metal pollution monitoring have always been the focus of bryophyte research at home and abroad.Therefore,it is suggested to expand multiple research directions,strengthen academic exchanges at home and abroad,and focus on bryophyte protection in the future.
