Global transfer of salinization on irrigated land: Complex network and endogenous structure.

Increasing globalization intensifies land redistribution via global supply chains. Interregional trade not only transfers embodied land but also displaces the negative environmental impact of land degradation from one region to another. This study sheds light on land degradation transfer by focusing on salinization directly whereas previous studies have extensively assessed the land resource embodied in trade.

A complex network perspective on embodiment of air pollutants from global oil refining industry.

The air pollutants emitted from oil refining industry could be transferred across borders through the increasingly complex global trade network. However, the specific structural features of the network remain unclear. Based on the Multi-regional Input-output method and complex network theory, we make a first attempt to trace six oil refining air pollutants embodied in the international trade.
