To predict the feasibility of whether China can achieve an up to 65% of carbon emissions intensity (CEI) reduction goal from 2005 levels by 2030, we performed dynamic simulations and predictions of China’s CO₂ emissions at the national scale from a system dynamics perspective. More specifically, we developed a system dynamics model based on LMDI analysis to simulate and estimate CO₂ emissions under...
The study investigates the impact of subsurface pipes at different depths on physicochemical properties of soda meadow alkaline soil. Field experiments were carried out in 5 treatments: CK (no treatment), CK1 (treatment with comprehensive supplementary measures: subsoiling to 0.6 m and applying farm manure in the amount of 34 m³/hm², then mulching with sandy soil of 500 m³/hm²), and 3 treatments of...
The effects of Cd on the subcellular localization in root tip cells of Hordeum vulgare were investigated by Energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA) in order to further understand Cd toxic mechanisms in plants. EDXA showed that Cd ions were localized in meristem, elongation, and mature zone in the root tips. In transverse section of the mature zone, Cd was accumulated in epidermal, cortical, and vessel...
Applying the appropriate allometric equation to accurately estimate biomass is vital for the regional carbon budget. Previous studies have focused on plant biomass at a given time, and few have been conducted on biomass estimates throughout the entire lifespan of a plant. Here we used field data measured from Moso bamboo stands to validate three common allometric equations used for biomass estimates...
Water samples were collected from the drinking water source of 21 urban areas from the lower Yangtze River at Jiangsu province and various surface drinking water sources of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong provinces of China. They were tested for 25 VOCs and 38 SVOCs using purge and trap (P&T) and gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results show there were 19 VOCs and 10 SVOCs detected...
Steel enterprises, as one type of major industrial pollution source, have been facing great environmental pressure. Integrating environmental considerations into the steelmaking process is now one of the major priorities of the steel industry. A method for evaluating environmental performance is presented in this paper. The proposed method considers the procedure for environmental performance comparison...
