ClearAnalysis of the spatio-temporal evolution of sustainable land use in China under the carbon emission trading scheme: A measurement idea based on the DID model
Researchers applied a difference-in-differences estimation model to assess the effect of China's carbon emission trading scheme on sustainable land use across provinces from a spatio-temporal perspective. The scheme improved sustainable land use in pilot areas from both economic and environmental dimensions, with effects concentrated in eastern regions and urban agglomerations including the Pearl River Delta.
Sustainable Management of Land Resources: The Case of China’s Forestry Carbon Sink Mechanism
Researchers used a difference-in-differences model on 30 Chinese provincial-level regions from 2005 to 2020 to evaluate which forestry carbon sink mechanism (FCSM) policies most effectively generated socioeconomic value, finding that China's forest carbon policies have underutilized potential for meeting carbon neutrality goals.
Spatiotemporal Evolution of the Coupled and Coordinated Development of the Low-carbon Economy, Green Finance, and Ecological Environmental Quality: Evidence from China
Despite its title referencing low-carbon economy and ecological quality, this paper studies the coordinated development of green finance, carbon reduction, and environmental quality indicators across Chinese provinces — not microplastic pollution. It examines regional economic and environmental policy dynamics using statistical modelling, and is not relevant to microplastics or human health.
Greening agriculture as a response to climate change: a case study from China over 2000–2021
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research; it assesses green agriculture development and carbon efficiency in China's Qinghai Province from 2000 to 2021 using economic and environmental modeling, with no connection to plastic pollution.

Researchers analyzed how city growth and economic activity affect the balance between what ecosystems provide (like clean water and clean air) and what people demand in China's Yangtze River Delta, finding that larger urban areas strain this balance while targeted development strategies can help certain regions maintain healthier ecosystems.
The influence of digital village construction on agricultural green development-based on the mediate role of industrial structure upgrading
Using data from cities in China's Henan Province from 2013 to 2022, researchers found that digital village construction significantly promotes greener agricultural practices by upgrading industrial structures. The study suggests that digital technology adoption in rural areas can help shift farming toward more environmentally sustainable methods, though the benefits vary by region.
Optimizing Low Impact Development for Stormwater Runoff Treatment: A Case Study in Yixing, China
This study used modeling and field experiments to optimize low-impact development stormwater management practices for a case study site in Yixing, China, finding that specific combinations of green infrastructure elements significantly reduced runoff volume and pollutant loads compared to conventional urban drainage.
Watershed-Based Governance for Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollution: Empirical Insights from the Yangtze River Economic Belt
Researchers examined how China's 'Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollution Prevention and Control' affected pollutant emissions across the Yangtze River Economic Belt, using econometric analysis across three governance pathways. They found the policy significantly reduced emissions by curbing mulch film use and consolidating breeding farms, but had no measurable effect on rural domestic pollution due to pre-existing infrastructure investments.
Analyzing The Implementation of Green-Economy Inclusive Strategy in East Java Province Through Urban Good Governance in Green-Economy Framework: The Case of Surabaya
Researchers analysed the implementation of a green-economy strategy in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia using a qualitative-descriptive approach and thematic analysis, evaluating four dimensions — decision-making, implementation capacity, green economy systems, and socio-ecological factors — to derive a replicable development strategy.
Individual and Village Level Factors Affect Farmers’ Satisfaction with Sustainable Rural Development Practices: Evidence from Guangdong Province in China
A survey of Chinese farmers examined how individual and village-level factors influence satisfaction with sustainable rural development programs. Factors such as income, community cohesion, and quality of local services significantly affected satisfaction levels. Understanding farmer perspectives is essential for designing rural policies that encourage sustainable land and waste management.
Evaluation System for Agricultural and Rural Modernization in China
This paper is not directly about microplastics — it develops a statistical framework to evaluate agricultural and rural modernization in China, identifying gaps in urban-rural coordination and regional disparities rather than examining plastic pollution.
Evaluation of the Spatiotemporal Change of Ecological Quality under the Context of Urban Expansion—A Case Study of Typical Urban Agglomerations in China
Researchers tracked changes in ecological quality across three major urban areas in China over two decades of rapid urbanization. They found that urban expansion significantly reduced ecological quality in surrounding areas, with the most severe impacts occurring in newly developed zones. The study provides a framework for monitoring how urbanization affects local ecosystems using remote sensing data.
How to Make Cities Get across “The Valley of Death”? Exploring the Ecological Index System and Index Correlation of Green Cities
This paper examines how cities can navigate ecological security challenges from climate change and unexpected disasters by implementing green urban development strategies. The analysis of urban ecological security frameworks informs the design of more resilient cities that can simultaneously address environmental pollution and climate adaptation.
Effects of Conservation Tillage on Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity in Black Soil Region: Evidence from Heilongjiang Province, China
This study evaluated the effects of conservation tillage practices on agricultural green total factor productivity, finding that reduced tillage improves environmental efficiency metrics but requires management adjustments to maintain yields.
The Role of Land Use Transition on Industrial Pollution Reduction in the Context of Innovation-Driven: The Case of 30 Provinces in China
This study analyzed data from 30 Chinese provinces to examine how land use transitions associated with urbanization affect industrial pollution levels, finding that innovation-driven development strategies can decouple economic growth from pollution under certain land use conditions.
