Abstract: Eco-models have shown great potential in the field of water eutrophication research. We use the information visualization technology of CiteSpace to present a systematic review of published literature on the application of eco-models to eutrophication from 1968-2018. In total, 2099 references from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection were analyzed using the CiteSpace software, bibliometric methods, and documents combing methods to determine the hotspots, frontiers, and development trends in the application of eco-models to eutrophication. According to our analysis, ecological models in the field of water eutrophication are applied to the Baltic Sea, agricultural phosphorus use, particulate nitrogen input, risk assessment, net ecosystem production, competition patterns, biological factors, semi-enclosed marine systems, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, evolving conceptual models, and nutrient transfer. The eco-models range from dimension-models to time-dependent dynamic models. Moreover, the recent trend of close coupling between modeling and the acquisition of new types of experimental data (i.e., remote sensing, high-frequency field sensors) provides a higher prediction ability of ecological models.
