High spatial resolution mapping of steel resources accumulated above ground in mainland China: Past trends and future prospects

High-resolution mapping of steel resources accumulated above ground (referred to as steel stocks) is critical for exploring urban mining and circular economy opportunities. Prior studies have attempted to approximate steel stocks using nighttime …

The direct and interactive impacts of hydrological factors on bacillary dysentery across different geographical regions in central China

Previous studies found non-linear mutual interactions among hydrometeorological factors on diarrheal disease. However, the complex interactions of the hydrometeorological, topographical and human activity factors need to be further explored. This …

Investigating the Uncertainties Propagation Analysis of CO₂ Emissions Gridded Maps at the Urban Scale: A Case Study of Jinjiang City, China

Cities play an essential role in low-carbon development. However, Estimating CO₂ emissions at the urban scale, including both un-gridded (i.e., administrative unit maps) and gridded maps, cannot avoid the propagation of uncertainties from input to result, which highlights the importance of being aware of uncertainty estimation, especially in gridded maps due to its implications for the precision mitigation of CO₂ emissions. We proposed an analytic workflow to analyze the propagated uncertainties caused by the gridded model and the input for gridded CO₂ emission maps.

Response of syntrophic bacterial and methanogenic archaeal communities in paddy soil to soil type and phenological period of rice growth

Methanogenesis and syntrophy are the most important microbial metabolic processes for the anaerobic decomposition of organic matters in paddy soils. However, the diversity and abundance of syntrophic communities and their ecological determinants …

Treatment of high-ash industrial sludge for producing improved char with low heavy metal toxicity

Industrial sludge is a type of solid waste that is known for its high ash content and heavy metal concentrations. In this study, industrial sludge was used for co-pyrolysis with rice straw at different temperatures (400, 500, and 600 °C) and mixture …

A spatial database of CO₂ emissions, urban form fragmentation and city-scale effect related impact factors for the low carbon urban system in Jinjiang city, China

This paper presented the spatial database collected in 2013 for mitigating the urban carbon emissions of Jinjiang city, China. The database included the high-resolution CO₂ emissions gridded maps, urban form fragmentation evaluation maps, and …

More fragmentized urban form more CO₂ emissions? A comprehensive relationship from the combination analysis across different scales

The “Scale effect” has always been the hot topic in landscape ecology research. Although, there are many studies on the driving force of urban environmental problems by using landscape metrics. Most studies are carried out in regional, continental and global scales. However, in this study, we explored the relationship between the urban form fragmentation and CO₂ emissions in the city scale from the perspective of dual resolution sizes and summarized the research conclusions that can be used in urban internal management based on the analysis results of small towns.

A GIS-based high spatial resolution assessment of large-scale PV generation potential in China

The achievement of temperature control target requires a low carbon transition of global energy structure. While China is actively promoting the implementation of large-scale PV generation technology, there is still a lack of scientific knowledge of …

Research on the effects of different policy tools on China’s emissions reduction innovation(Chinese)

The impact that environmental regulation has on technology innovation is a hot spot in currently research which already has a large number of empirical studies based on Porter Hypothesis. However there are still controversies in academia about the …

Research on the effects of command-and-control and market-oriented policy tools on China’s energy conservation and emissions reduction innovation

The impact of environmental regulation on technology innovation is a hot spot in current research where a large number of empirical studies are based on Porter Hypothesis (PH). However, there are still controversies in academia about the …
