Zusammenfassung: | The objective of this work was to perform a temporal quantitative analysis, using the scientometric technique, considering the number of citations that the terms Primary Production of Aquatic Macrophytes and Energetic Ecology received in a 50-year period (1956 to 2006). The study related 189 papers published in 26 magazines. It was verified that researchers of several nationalities are working on the proposed themes, with a predominance of those from developed countries (USA and Germany). In Brazil, production on these themes, although small, coincides with the results obtained for other themes analyzed using the same research technique. This fact indicates that greater efforts should be made in the search for more intense scientific production in the country, in the different areas of knowledge, especially in the object of this study. Key words: energy flow, aquatic macrophytes, aquatic ecosystems, primary producers, scientific production. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de realizar uma analise quantitativa temporal por meio da tecnica de cienciometria, considerando o numero de citacoes que os termos Primary Production of Aquatic Macrophytes e Energetic Ecology receberam num periodo de 50 anos (1956 a 2006). Foram relacionados 189 artigos publicados em 26 revistas. Constatou-se que pesquisadores de varias nacionalidades vem trabalhando os temas propostos, com predominio daqueles provenientes de paises desenvolvidos (EUA e Alemanha). No Brasil, embora seja pequena, a producao dos temas e coincidente com o resultado obtido para outros temas analisados pela mesma tecnica de pesquisa. Este fato indica que maior esforco deve ser realizado em busca de uma mais intensa producao cientifica no pais, nas diversas areas do conhecimento, em especial no objeto deste estudo. Palavras-chave: fluxo de energia, macrofitas aquaticas, ecossistemas aquaticos, produtores primarios, producao cientifica. |
