The farming-pastoral ecotone has an important strategic place in the energy supply and ecological layout of China. Thus, exploring the spatial and temporal variation characteristics of carbon emissions in this region will help to deeply understand the information on the historical carbon emissions in China's energy production bases and provide data references for the formulation of differentiated emission reduction policies and the promotion of regional energy-saving and carbon-reducing measures, which is of great significance for the realization of low-carbon economic development. This study constructed a spatialization model of carbon emissions based on land use, night lighting, and provincial energy consumption data; explored the spatiotemporal changes and aggregation characteristics of carbon emissions in the farming-pastoral ecotone from 1995 to 2020 using the global Moran's index and hotspot analysis; and then combined it with the slack-based measure model to calculate the carbon emission efficiency and emission reduction potential of each city from 2010 to 2020 and classify cities to propose a differentiated emission reduction path.

Laccase catalyzes the oxidation of natural phenols and thereby is believed to initialize reactions in lignification and delignification. Numerous phenolic mediators have also been applied in laccase-mediator systems. However, reaction details after the primary O-H rupture of phenols remain obscure.

Soil heavy metals Cu, Pb, Zn, and Cd, are regarded as "chemical time bombs" because of their propensity for accumulation in the soil and uptake by crops. This ultimately causes human toxicity in both the short and long-term, making farmland ecosystems dangerous to health. In this paper, accumulation and spatial variability of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd in soil-crop system affected by wastewater irrigation around a chemical factor in northern Shaanxi province were analyzed.
