As　global　climate　change　intensifies　and　population　growth　continues,　water　scarcity　has　emerged　as　a　critical　constraint　to　sustainable　agricultural　development.　Conservation　management,　an　effective　water-saving　technique,　plays　a　crucial　role　in　enhancing　soil　water　content　(SWC)　and　promoting　sustainable　agriculture.　This　study　utilizes　CiteSpace　to　perform　a　bibliometric　analysis　of　research　literature　on　the　effects　of　conservation　management　on　SWC,　encompassing　publications　indexed　in　the　Web　of　Science　database　from　1992　to　2024.　By　systematically　examining　599　papers,　we　analyzed　key　research　institutions,　authors＇　collaborative　contributions,　keyword　co-occurrences,　and　shifts　in　research　hotspots　related　to　conservation　management　and　its　impact　on　SWC.　The　results　reveal　that　significant　topics　in　this　field　include　＂conservation　agriculture＂,　＂water　use　efficiency＂,　and　＂conservation　tillage＂.　China　(225,　38%)　and　the　United　States　(129,　22%)　lead　in　publication　volume,　whereas　European　countries　and　institutions　show　a　higher　degree　of　collaboration.　The　research　focus　has　transitioned　from　examining　the　impacts　and　mechanisms　of　conservation　tillage　on　crop　yield　and　soil　physical　and　chemical　properties　to　long-term　monitoring,　water　use　efficiency,　and　mitigation.　Furthermore,　keyword　co-occurrence　and　temporal　analysis　highlight　a　growing　emphasis　on　soil　quality　and　greenhouse　gas　emissions.　In　the　future,　it　remains　imperative　to　enhance　the　implementation　of　automated　monitoring　systems,　secure　long-term　continuous　monitoring　data,　promote　conservation　agriculture　technology,　and　bolster　the　early　warning　network　for　extreme　climate　events.　These　measures　are　crucial　for　preserving　soil　nutrient　levels　and　ensuring　the　sustainable　development　of　agriculture.
