Abstract

Over half of the world's population gets their calories, proteins, and minerals from rice grains. To eradicate hunger and malnutrition, rice grain production and quality must be continuously improved. However, anthropogenic atmospheric changes intensify the effects of climate change on Paddy Farming, making the planet's climate increasingly unpredictable. This comprehensive bibliometric analysis delves into the intricate landscape of the International Climate Change Research Group (ICCRG) to discern prevailing trends and research priorities in the context of Earth's Climate Conundrums in Paddy Farming. Utilizing data from the Web of Science and Essential Science Indicators, we surveyed 3,377 papers from the WoS Core Collection, employing the keywords "rice" and "climate change." Our study, conducted in April 2021, employed a VOS viewer for citation analysis and visualization. The analysis uncovered significant clusters within the ICCRG research, each addressing distinct facets of climate impact on Paddy Farming. Major clusters such as post-heading heat stress, CO2 enrichment, and high nighttime temperature emerged, each with its unique focus and contributions. We explored the key papers and their citations, revealing pivotal studies such as "Rice responses to increasing temperatures—challenges, perspectives, and future directions" and "The heat is on how crop growth, development, and yield respond to high temperature." Beyond the clusters, we investigated the evolving landscape of ICCRG research through burst keywords, identifying pivotal terms like "carbon dioxide," "harvest index," and "high temperature." The dual-map overlay showcased thematic zones, illustrating the interdisciplinary nature of ICCRG studies spanning ecology, earth sciences, molecular biology, and more. International collaboration emerged as a key theme, with 470 institutions across 100 countries actively contributing to ICCRG research. China, the United States, and India played central roles, with notable institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences leading at the forefront. Network analysis highlighted the collaborative relationships, emphasizing the need for global cooperation to address the challenges posed by climate change in Paddy Farming. In terms of economic evaluation, we explored the potential impact of climate change on grain quality attributes and the economic prospects of ICCRG. The study revealed the vulnerabilities and variations in economic impacts, emphasizing the need for comprehensive research to navigate the evolving Earth's Climate Conundrums in Paddy Farming. This abstract provides a glimpse into the extensive analysis conducted on ICCRG trends and research priorities, offering insights that can guide future endeavors in navigating the intricate intersection of climate change and Paddy Farming.
