Article Synopsis
- - Clarifying how carbon sources and sinks interact with urban development is vital for achieving carbon neutrality in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD); this study used net ecosystem productivity (NEP) from 2005 to 2020 to assess carbon sinks in the region.
- - Findings indicate that while the YRD contributed 69.13 Mt of NEP, urban expansion resulted in a loss of 1.97 Mt of carbon sinks, leading to 3-6% of emissions being offset by these carbon sinks.
- - The study identified that high carbon source areas in central/eastern YRD contrast with high carbon sinks in regions like Zhejiang, revealing that cities rich in forests have better carbon neutrality potential, while urban expansion and
Article Synopsis
- Based on RS and GIS, 11 indexes related to natural capital, social pressure, and economic support were analyzed to evaluate environmental quality in the Shiyang River Basin.
- The analysis revealed that environmental quality is generally poor, with better conditions found in the upper reaches of the Qilian Mountains and poorer conditions in the middle-lower reaches and desert areas.
- Natural capital was identified as the most influential factor affecting environmental quality, followed by social pressure, while economic support had the least impact.
