Spatiotemporal dynamics and driving mechanisms of carbon sequestration advantage across ecological zones: a case study from 2000 to 2023 in the Zhangjiakou–Chengde region, China
Traditional carbon sink assessments based on absolute values often fail to capture relative sequestration advantages across heterogeneous landscapes. Using the Zhangjiakou–Chengde region as a case study, this research estimated Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) from 2000 to 2023 and integrated it…

Phosphorus fraction transformation and soil acidity mitigation through integration of water hyacinth biochar with organic and synthetic phosphorus sources in acidic soil
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major problem in acidic and tropical soils, including in Ethiopia, because more than 80% of P derived from synthetic fertilizers becomes fixed and unavailable. The short-lived effect of lime and the limited application of fertilizers due to increasing costs cannot…

Exploring the dynamic impact of biomass energy, deforestation, fossil fuels and green technology on greenhouse gas emissions in China
China faces the dual challenge of sustaining economic growth while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet the combined effects of energy structure, technological innovation, and land-use policies remain underexplored. This study examines the long- and short-run drivers of GHG emissions across…

Bridging the watershed–urban disconnect: a mixed-methods analysis of flood-risk perception and preparedness in Sindh, Pakistan
IntroductionExtreme flooding events are increasing in frequency due to climate change and posing major challenges for developing countries, where a clear disconnect exists between how floods develop at the watershed level and how communities perceive the risks they face. Thus, this study examines…

Macrophyte community structure across Serbian water-body types: foundations for developing bioassessment tools
Macrophytes are widely used as biological quality elements in ecological assessment, yet the extent to which they reflect water-body typology remains insufficiently evaluated in Serbia. We analyzed macrophyte assemblages from 99 sites representing nine nationally designated water-body types to…

Analysis of the spatial association network of agricultural water use efficiency and its driving factors in China
Regional imbalance exist in agricultural water use efficiency across China. Promoting inter-provincial collaboration to improve the overall efficiency level is crucial for ensuring food security and resource equity. While existing research often focuses more on efficiency improvements within single…

The U-shaped relationship between environmental regulation and carbon emission efficiency: evidence from China’s provincial panel data
Under the global imperative for energy conservation and emission reduction, a critical yet underexplored question is how environmental regulation (ER) specifically affects carbon emission efficiency (CEE). In this paper, the Super-Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs is used to…
