Abstract

The incidence of allergic respiratory diseases has increased in recent decades, with declining biodiversity identified as a potential contributing factor. While directly linking this increase to biodiversity loss is challenging, the research on pollen offers crucial insights into how environmental changes impact patients with pollen allergies. This paper explores the complex relationship between declining biodiversity and type 1 pollen allergies from 1998 to 2022 by synthesizing the scientific insights using the mapping software VOSviewer version 1.6.19. The graphical representation provides a visual overview of the evolution of the research on pollen and biodiversity aspects combined, showing a shift from localized studies to global, interdisciplinary approaches. The research in this field has expanded significantly, particularly since 2010, with European countries leading the scholarly contributions. Pollen allergy has become a key intersection of public health and environmental science. This bibliometric review underscores the critical need for enhanced interdisciplinary research and international collaboration to address these interconnected challenges, promoting sustainable solutions in a rapidly advancing field.
