Comprehensive land consolidation in the whole region was born out of the construction of ecological civilization and the strategy of rural revitalization.Because of its scientific content,forwardlooking planning and comprehensive measures,it has become a new form of land consolidation.1 461 core journals,CSSCI and CSCD literature with the theme of "land consolidation" in CNKI database from 2010 to 2021 were studied with CiteSpace visual literature analysis software.The knowledge map of key words cooccurrence,research hotspot evolution time zone and main mutation words was drawn.The research hotspot on land remediation and stage analysis from land remediation to global remediation was carried out.The theoretical context,key areas and cutting-edge dynamics of the two was discussed.The results showed that the research hotspot on land consolidation in China has always focused on the goal of arable land protection from 2010 to 2021,mainly focusing on three aspects including land consolidation,land use and comprehensive land consolidation.Taking arable land protection as the axis,the evolution process of land consolidation since 2010 has been divided into three stages:traditional regulation,ecological transformation and comprehensive land consolidation.Finally,some suggestions for adjusting the regulation concept,improving the regulation efficiency and combining with the rural revitalization strategy under the premise of continuing to adhere to the goal of arable land protection and the construction of ecological civilization were put forward.
