Abstract:

The wetlands and agro-ecological zones of southeastern Niger play a crucial role in the functioning of socio-ecological systems and the support of local livelihoods. Among invasive species, Typha domingensis Pers. is attracting increasing scientific interest due to its ecological, hydrological, and socio-economic impacts. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of publications on Typha domingensis from 1993 to 2023, using the OpenAlex and Google Scholar databases. A total of 720 articles were selected for this analysis. The results show a marked increase in scientific output, rising from 1.25% of articles in 1993 to 12.78% in 2023, with disciplinary interest shifting from fundamental chemistry and biology to an interdisciplinary approach integrating ecology, hydrology, phytoremediation, and socio-economic dimensions. Emerging themes include invasion management, water and sediment remediation, wetland engineering, and impacts on agriculture and livelihoods, particularly in the context of the Lake Chad Basin and climate change. Analysis of institutional collaborations reveals an international network structured around North American, European, and Brazilian hubs, with a growing role for African actors. This finding can be used to guide future research and strategies for the sustainable management of wetlands.
