[Objective/Significance] In order to study the international research status and progress in the field of black soil, and to promote further research and protection in the black soil field in China, this paper sorts out and analyzes the relevant literature in the black soil field from the core collection of Web of Science databases. [Methods/Progress] By using bibliometrics methods and knowledge graph visualization method, this paper summarizes the relevant research progress in the international black soil field respectively from the aspects of the annual publishing trend, publishing situation of major countries and major institutions, the situation of highly cited papers and the distribution of research topics. [Results/Conclusions] The conclusion shows that the number of papers published in the field of black soil in the world has been increasing exponentially in recent years. China is the country with the largest number of papers published in this field, followed by Russia and the United States. In terms of research impact, China, the United States and Canada are among the top three in terms of total citation frequency; Canadan, the United States and Australia are among the top three in terms of the average citation frequency. Scientific research institutions from China and Russia are the leading ones, with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Sciences having the highest number of publications. Research hotspots mainly focus on the status of black soil loss, crop planting on black soil, black soil structure and heavy metal pollution, soil organic matter and soil microbial community and its diversity. Research priorities vary from country to country.
