摘要
Phoenix species,recognized for their profound ecological,economic,and cultural significance,have garnered substantial attention in research across Asia.However,limited studies exist on research trends,status,distribution,ethnobotany,and pharmacological activities of Phoenix species in the region.The objective of this study is to compile pertinent information on these aspects for Phoenix species in Asia.We employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses(PRISMA)approach to systematically examine the literature pertaining to Phoenix species in the Asian region.This comprehensive review analyzes research trends on Phoenix species in Asia from year 2000 to 2023.A total of 42 studies were identified,showcasing a growing interest,with a notable peak in publications in 2019.The temporal distribution suggests fluctuating attention over the years.Geographically,the concentration of studies is limited to 12 out of 48 Asian countries,emphasizing the need for more extensive exploration given the widespread availability of Phoenix species.The research primarily focuses on pharmacology,followed by ethnobotany,morphology,taxonomy,material science,environmental engineering,and ecology.Notably,studies disproportionately concentrate on Phoenix dactylifera,leaving other species underexplored.The analysis of research focus,species distribution,and geographical representation underscores the importance of diversifying research themes and exploring the ecological,economic,and cultural significance of lesser-studied Phoenix species across Asia.The findings highlight both the growing interest and existing gaps in our knowledge,urging for a more comprehensive exploration of the entire genus to unravel its full potential and significance across Asian landscapes.
凤凰属物种因其深远的生态、经济和文化意义而闻名,已在亚洲范围内引起了广泛关注。然而,在该地区对凤凰属物种的研究趋势、状态、分布、民族植物学和药理活性的研究仍然有限。本研究旨在为亚洲凤凰属物种收集相关信息。我们采用了系统综述和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)方法,系统地审查了亚洲地区有关凤凰属物种的文献,分析了从2000年到2023年的亚洲凤凰属物种的研究趋势。结果共发现了42项相关研究,时间分布表明,多年来对凤凰属物种的关注度波动较大,显示出持续增长的研究兴趣,2019年发表的文章数量达到了显著高峰。从地理分布上,研究的集中区域仅限于亚洲48个国家中的12个,鉴于凤凰属物种的广泛分布,因此需要进行更广泛的探索。目前研究的主题主要集中在药理学,其次是民族植物学、形态学、分类学、材料科学、环境工程和生态学。值得注意的是,研究不成比例地集中在Phoenix dactylifera属物种上,较少涉及其他物种。对研究重点、物种分布和地理代表性的分析强调了多样化研究主题的重要性,探索亚洲各地较少研究的凤凰属物种的生态、经济和文化意义,以揭示其在亚洲景观中的全部潜力和重要性。
