Understanding food webs is important and useful for planning environmental.conservation, management and restoration. However, research on food webs is not uniform.globally; it tends to be concentrated in specific areas or ecosystem types, and would hinder.our understanding of food webs and ecosystem processes. This study examined the trends.in food web research over the past decades by analysing publication data from Web of.Science; in particular, it focused on the ecosystem types studied, countries in which the.studies were done, and which countries collaborated on the studies. A total of 20,239.publications were examined. The results showed that research on food webs has dramatically.increased since the 1990s. Most publications related focused on aquatic ecosystems.
