This study conducted a bibliometric review on the subject of floristic surveys of the mixed ombrophilous forest, also known as araucaria Forest, investigating its scientific production and research trends over time. The research utilized the Scopus database (Elsevier). Data were analyzed using the VOSviewer software. A total of 118 documents published between 1981 and 2024 were found, distributed across 46 journals, focusing mainly on the proposed theme. Brazil led in the quantity of documents, followed by Germany and Argentina. The analysis of keywords and institutions revealed predominant themes such as forest fragmentation and natural regeneration, with emphasis on brazilian institutions like the Santa Catarina State University. The results highlight the growing interest in studies on araucaria forests, particularly in Brazil, and the relevance of brazilian institutions in producing this research. Despite the recent decrease in the number of studies, research remains crucial for understanding the biodiversity and conservation of these ecosystems.
