Rhizosphere microorganism is an important link between soil and plant in soil-microbe-plant system，which not only affects the growth and development of aboveground part of plant，but also has an important influence on the metabolic activities of underground part of plant. In order to comprehensively understand the research status of rhizosphere soil microorganisms and objectively reflect the research trend，CiteSpace software and bibliometrics methods were adopted in this paper. Core collection of Web of Science database and China National Knowledge Network(CNKI)were used as data sources. A total of 3942 references on rhizosphere microbes published between 2011 and 2021 were selected by using
