- Determining the Role of Urban Greenery in Soil Hydrology: A Bibliometric Analysis of Nature-Based Solutions in Urban Ecosystem (2025) · Water · cited 11× · doi
The paper does not explicitly state the research gap, but it appears to be related to the lack of understanding of the role of urban greenery in soil hydrology and the need for a comprehensive analysis of research trends in this area. The study aims to fill this gap by providing a bibliometric analysis of nature-based solutions in urban soil hydrology.
