ClearSustainable 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.
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.
Measurement and temporal and spatial characteristics of agricultural eco-efficiency under climate change: a case study of Anhui, China
Researchers applied super-efficient DEA-SBM analysis to measure agricultural eco-efficiency across Anhui Province, China, quantifying non-point source pollution from livestock breeding and chemical fertilizers. They found that eco-efficiency followed an 'inverted N' trend over time and exhibited spatial agglomeration patterns, with significant north-south regional differences driven by climate change and the 'Matthew effect.'
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.
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.
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.
How Does Public Participation in EnvironmentalProtection Affect Air Pollution in China?A Perspective of Local Government Intervention
Researchers used spatial econometric modeling of Chinese panel data from 2003-2017 to find that local government intervention worsens air quality due to inter-regional competition, and that public environmental participation only effectively reduces sulfur dioxide when supported by central government intervention.
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.
Exploring the spatiotemporal effects of urban scale and urban vitality on S&D balance in the Yangtze River Delta, China from 2015 to 2025
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.
Can pro-environmental behavior increase farmers’ income?—Evidence from arable land quality protection practices in China
This study used survey data from 591 farmers in Xinjiang, China to assess whether pro-environmental farming behaviors increase income. Results showed that farmers adopting practices that reduced soil and water pollution generated higher yields and revenues over time. Pro-environmental agricultural practices that limit plastic mulch use and chemical inputs can improve both farm sustainability and farmer livelihoods.
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.
Assessing the impact of governance and health expenditures on carbon emissions in China: Role of environmental regulation
Researchers analysed the relationship between governance quality, health expenditures, environmental regulation, and carbon emissions in China from 1984 to 2018, finding an inverted U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve and that stronger environmental regulation helps decouple economic growth from carbon output.
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.
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.
