Unlocking the carbon emission efficiency improvement path of technological innovation: a perspective on industrial restructuring and R&D element flows.

Technological innovation is regarded as an important means to improve carbon efficiency. However, there is no consensus on this view. Meanwhile, few studies have considered how technological innovation affects carbon efficiency.

Financial inclusion, renewable energy consumption, and inclusive growth: cross-country evidence.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global economy to varying degrees. Coupled with the widening gap caused by the unbalanced distribution of resources, the sustainability and inclusiveness of economic growth have been challenged. To explore the influencing factors of the level of economic inclusive growth among different countries, we used the spatial Durbin model to analyze the relationship between financial inclusion, renewable energy consumption, and inclusive growth based on panel data of 40 countries from 2010 to 2020.

Effects of Water and Fertilizer Management Practices on Methane Emissions from Paddy Soils: Synthesis and Perspective.

Water and fertilizer management practices are considered to have great influence on soil methane (CH) emissions from paddy fields. However, few studies have conducted a quantitative analysis of the effects of these management practices. Here, we selected 156 observations of water management from 34 articles and 288 observations of fertilizer management from 37 articles and conducted a global meta-analysis of the effects of water and fertilizer management practices on soil CH emissions in paddy fields.

Rare rather than abundant microbial communities drive the effects of long-term greenhouse cultivation on ecosystem functions in subtropical agricultural soils.

Long-term greenhouse cultivation has an adverse effect on ecosystem functions such as soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but the underlying microbial mechanisms still remain unclear. Here, different sites under long-term greenhouse cultivation in a subtropical agricultural ecosystem were selected to measure soil C and N contents, extractable organic C (EOC) and N (EON) contents, and potential GHG emissions. Metagenomic analysis and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing were used to measure microbial communities.
