Pine plantations on degraded lands play an important role in providing ecosystem services, among the most significant being soil and land protection against erosion, water source protection, carbon sequestration, and the restoration of landscape and biodiversity. In addition, these plantations also have a significant social and economic role. This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric and systematic analysis of publications on the use of pines in plantations on degraded lands and the environmental effects of these plantations, especially regarding soil, water, carbon storage, and more.
