Advances, Challenges, and Perspectives in Glomalin-Related Soil Protein Research
Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), a glycoprotein primarily exuded by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), exerts key roles in ecological processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Nevertheless, the intricate nature of GRSP, coupled with constraints in its extraction and analytical methodologies, impede...

| description | Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), a glycoprotein primarily exuded by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), exerts key roles in ecological processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Nevertheless, the intricate nature of GRSP, coupled with constraints in its extraction and analytical methodologies, impedes a comprehensive understanding of its compositional attributes and ecological functions. Moreover, the scope of current GRSP research has undergone significant expansion, necessitating a comprehensive synthesis in this field. Here, we employed bibliometric analysis to systematically assess research trends and hotspots in the research field of GRSP based on 840 relevant articles indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection database. Among them, key parameters evaluated encompass publications’ quantity, highly cited articles, high-frequency keywords, and historical direct citations. These analyses illuminated the state-of-the-art of GRSP research, delineated emergent trends, and provided future perspectives. Current investigations into GRSP predominantly focus on three major topics: (i) GRSP’s nature, origin, and quantification methodologies; (ii) GRSP’s key influencing factors including agricultural management practices, climate and land use change; and (iii) GRSP’s ecological functions enhancing soil aggregate stability, C sequestration, and contamination remediation. Our findings can serve as a scholarly resource for advancing inquiries into the ecological functionalities of GRSP and its prospective applications in sustainable soil management and ecological restoration. |
