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.
Estimating Forest Aboveground Carbon Storage in Hang-Jia-Hu Using Landsat TM/OLI Data and Random Forest Model
Researchers used Landsat satellite imagery and machine learning to estimate forest carbon storage in a region of China over two decades. The study demonstrates remote sensing as a practical tool for tracking carbon stocks and the effects of land-use change.
Green and Low Carbon Development Performance in Farmland Use Regulation: A Case Study of Liyang City, China
Researchers used system dynamics modeling to simulate the impacts of farmland use regulation scenarios on green and low-carbon development performance across 10 towns in Liyang City, China, finding that scenarios allowing construction land to encroach on farmland produced the lowest comprehensive green development index at 0.23. The study identified spatial heterogeneity in development performance and categorized villages into four types to guide differentiated farmland regulation policies.
Will China’s audit of natural environmental resource promote green sustainable development? Evidence from PSM-DID analysis based on substantial and strategic pollution reduction
This study used a multi-period difference-in-differences model to test whether China's natural resource audit policy promoted green sustainable development, finding that audited regions showed measurable improvements in environmental performance metrics. The results suggest accountability mechanisms can be effective tools for encouraging local green governance.
What role can carbon payments play in poverty alleviation?: analysis of a forestry carbon project in Mozambique

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.
European Forest Governance: Status Quo and Optimising Options with Regard to the Paris Climate Target
This review examines EU forest governance instruments and their alignment with Paris Climate Agreement targets through a literature review and qualitative governance analysis, finding that the climate mitigation benefits of afforestation and reforestation are frequently overestimated in policy discourse. The analysis argues that only biodiverse, resilient forests reliably function as long-term carbon sinks and that existing EU policy instruments need optimization to meet binding climate and biodiversity targets.
Ecological Zoning Based on Value–Risk in the Wuling Mountains Area of Hunan Province
Researchers assessed ecological zoning in China's Wuling Mountains region based on ecosystem service value and ecological risk from 2000 to 2020. They found that both overall ecosystem value and ecological risk increased over the study period, with forests providing over 77% of the total ecosystem service value. The study provides a framework for ecological planning that accounts for environmental risks, including those from pollution and land use changes.
Assessment of Uncertainties in Ecological Risk Based on the Prediction of Land Use Change and Ecosystem Service Evolution
Using the PLUS land use change model, researchers simulated future land use scenarios in southern China and evaluated how projected changes would alter ecosystem services and associated ecological risk under uncertainty.
Bottom-up accounting of landfills across 346 cities reveals overlooked carbon stocks
Researchers developed a solid-water-gas coupling transformation model to quantify organic carbon stocks and greenhouse gas emissions from landfills across 346 Chinese cities from 2001 to 2030, finding that municipal solid waste landfills stored 503.3 Tg of organic carbon over twenty years, with only small fractions converted to gases, revealing landfills as overlooked urban carbon stocks.
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.
An Overview of Management Status and Recycling Strategies for Plastic Packaging Waste in China
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper reviews Chinese policy and recycling technology for plastic packaging waste, focusing on regulatory frameworks, carbon emissions, and recycling infrastructure rather than microplastic contamination or health risks.
Review of Managing Soil Organic C Sequestration from Vegetation Restoration on the Loess Plateau
This review examines soil organic carbon sequestration from vegetation restoration on China's Loess Plateau following the Grain-for-Green Project, which has transformed the most severely eroded region into a major ecological restoration success. The review summarizes current knowledge on how different vegetation types and restoration practices affect soil carbon storage.
Applying the China’s marine resource-environment carrying capacity and spatial development suitability approach to the Bay of Biscay (North-East Atlantic)
Researchers applied China's marine resource-environment carrying capacity evaluation framework to the Bay of Biscay to test its cross-regional applicability in marine spatial planning. The comparison revealed both practical commonalities and methodological challenges when transferring Chinese ocean governance models to a European context.
Green Supply Chain Coordination with Considering Carbon Emissions and Product Green Level Dependent Demand
Researchers developed a green supply chain coordination model that incorporates carbon emission costs and product green-level dependent demand, finding that green development policies and cost-sharing mechanisms can incentivize enterprises to adopt more sustainable supply chain operations.
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.
