White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is cultivated worldwide as a forage crop, green manure, and turfgrass, valued for its adaptability broad distribution. Although numerous studies have investigated the adverse effects of drought stress on white growth yield, comprehensive bibliometric review has been lacking. To address this gap, we analyzed relevant publications from Web Science Core Collection (1990–2024) using VOSviewer (1.6.19.0) R (4.3.1) software. Our findings reveal consistent annual increase in research outputs, indicating sustained scholarly efforts to enhance clover’s tolerance. China, New Zealand, Australia, United States, France lead publication volume maintain active international collaborations. Keyword co-occurrence analysis underscores importance phenotypic, physiological, molecular mechanisms linked resistance, particularly regarding plant yield. Emerging directions include further exploration transgenic technologies pathways bolster resilience under water-limited conditions. Overall, these insights offer theoretical foundation future provide valuable reference advancing sustainable agricultural practices arid semi-arid environments.
