Anthropogenic land use change (ALUC) satisfies human needs but also impacts aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems are intrinsically linked with terrestrial landscapes, an association that is already recognized as a key factor to address future research and effective governance. However, the complexity and range of the impact of ALUC in aquatic ecosystems have been fundamental challenges and have implicitly routed the analysis to particular segments, drivers, management, or effects of the theme. In this study, we present an attempt to frame the subject in a broader context through a topic-based bibliometric analysis. Our aim is to identify possible biases and gaps in the current scientific literature and detect the main topics that have characterized the theme. Our results show an unequal distribution of articles by country when we analyzed the authors’ affiliation and also a slight increase in contributions from social and economic disciplines, although they are still underrepresented. Moreover, we distinguish topics whose prevalence seems to change, especially those topics where the use of scenario analysis and multi-stressors are considered. We discuss the main biases and gaps revealed by our results, concluding that future studies on the impact of ALUC on aquatic ecosystems should better integrate social and economic disciplines and expand geographic frontiers.

人为土地利用变化 (ALUC) 满足人类需求，但也会影响水生生态系统。水生生态系统与陆地景观有着内在的联系，这种联系已经被认为是解决未来研究和有效治理的关键因素。然而，ALUC 在水生生态系统中影响的复杂性和范围一直是根本性的挑战，并且已经隐含地将分析路由到主题的特定部分、驱动因素、管理或影响。在这项研究中，我们试图通过基于主题的文献计量分析在更广泛的背景下构建主题。我们的目标是确定当前科学文献中可能存在的偏见和差距，并找出具有该主题特征的主要主题。我们的结果显示，当我们分析作者的隶属关系时，不同国家/地区的文章分布不均，并且来自社会和经济学科的贡献略有增加，尽管他们的代表性仍然不足。此外，我们区分流行程度似乎发生变化的主题，尤其是那些考虑使用情景分析和多压力源的主题。我们讨论了我们的结果揭示的主要偏见和差距，得出的结论是，未来关于 ALUC 对水生生态系统影响的研究应该更好地整合社会和经济学科并扩大地理边界。特别是那些考虑使用情景分析和多压力源的主题。我们讨论了我们的结果揭示的主要偏见和差距，得出的结论是，未来关于 ALUC 对水生生态系统影响的研究应该更好地整合社会和经济学科并扩大地理边界。特别是那些考虑使用情景分析和多压力源的主题。我们讨论了我们的结果揭示的主要偏见和差距，得出的结论是，未来关于 ALUC 对水生生态系统影响的研究应该更好地整合社会和经济学科并扩大地理边界。
