Abstract

Residual agroforestry biomass, a byproduct of agricultural and forestry practices, can be used as feedstock in various industries, including bioenergy, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In addition to its potential to contribute to the bio-circular economy, it can also help to reduce fuel loads in forests and mitigate the risk of forest fires. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to identify the current state-of-the-art on drivers and barriers to the valorization of residual agroforestry biomass. A total of 194 articles from Scopus and Web of Science were analyzed using VOS viewer and R programming tool biblioshiny. The results revealed that only 4% of the articles focused specifically on residual agroforestry biomass, with the majority of them centered on the use of biomass for bioenergy production. The most influential authors, top-cited papers, and top journals in the field were also identified. This study represents the first step towards a more comprehensive systematic review of the literature on residual agroforestry biomass valorization.
