The construction industry has played an important role in reducing carbon emissions. Various policies have been implemented to stimulate construction enterprises to reduce carbon emissions, but the effects of emission reduction are not obvious, for they do not directly benefit the enterprises. This paper employs a modified Shapley value method to study benefit allocation in a construction supply chain...
As China has committed to the international community to effectively control CO₂ emissions, it is necessary for the regions of China to launch an in-depth analysis about energy use and CO₂ emission efficiency. In this paper, each province of China will be regarded as an independent decision-making unit. After judging their return to scale state by the traditional DEA theoretical model, we use the...
Even though solid backfill mining can address some environmental issues of coal mining (like surface subsidence and gangue storage), on the other hand the long exposure of gangue to rain or other surficial water will also result in the leaching of heavy metal ions, which in turn will pose the threat of potential pollution to groundwater. In response to resolving the above-mentioned problem, this paper...
This paper identifies the driving forces of CO₂ emissions from 1990 to 2014 in Xinjiang’s transport sector based on the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method. Then we introduce the decoupling index to further quantitatively analyze the delinking indicators on the transport sector’s growth and environmental pressures. The results indicate that: 1) CO₂ emissions increased significantly with an...
Alternanthera philoxeroides is a perennial invasive species worldwide which can greatly affect native ecosystems and agricultural production. Our research studied the allelopathic effects of aqueous extracts of A. philoxeroides on the growth and antioxidant enzyme activities of Zoysia matrella, and isolated and analyzed the dominant allelochemicals in root extracts of A. philoxeroides. The overall...
With rapid urbanization and the rise of climate change awareness, policy makers and urban planners are seeking methods and schemes that consider the urban heat island (UHI) effect. In order to investigateto what extent a homogeneous urban fabric leads to a specific thermal pattern, a local climate zone (LCZ) scheme was utilized and classification has been applied in the urban areas of Chongqing. Urban...
