Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: April 28, 2025

Introduction Global crop straw production has increased sharply, leading to serious challenges in burning and disposal. The unsustainable practice of open wastes valuable renewable resources poses significant environmental threats, such as air pollution soil degradation, that undermine global agricultural sustainability. Despite extensive efforts by the Chinese government promote resource utilization (CSRU), low farmer participation reliance on a singular technological structure remain persistent issues. Methods Drawing prospect theory, this study integrates behavioral economics policy analysis examine how farmers’ risk preferences, including aversion, loss nonlinear probability weighting, interact with heterogeneous regulations, incentives, restrictions, guidance, shape CSRU behavior. Using micro-survey data from 440 rural households Liaoning Province, China, we apply logit model quantify these relationships analyze moderating role specific measures. Results empirical results show farmers generally exhibit strong which increases average adoption 10.56%, meanwhile an excessive focus low‐probability risks significantly willingness. Furthermore, fiscal incentives direct subsidies effectively amplify positive effect increasing its marginal impact 23.7%. In contrast, relying solely regulatory measures tends weaken compliance costs, thereby reducing 5.22%. Additional reveals heterogeneity responses based income structures business models: high‐level part‐time much stronger response their aversion being approximately 3.5 times low-level part-time farmers. Discussion By synthesizing insights economics, elucidates mechanism through economic are balanced process highlights critical tools. findings provide evidence for optimizing management, formulating more cost-effective policies, promoting green transformation agriculture.

Isolation, Characterization, and Optimization of Culture Medium for Local Straw-Degrading Bacteria from Northeastern Black Soils of China

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(11), P. 2591 - 2591

Published: Nov. 3, 2024

In order to solve the problem of low and poor straw degradation in typical black soil areas Northeast China, present study was carried out screen potential situ strains with cellulose ability from soils China play a role resourceful utilization development sustainable agriculture. The evaluated by combining sodium carboxymethyl plate screening cellulase viability assay; species identification morphology, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology; basic medium formulation optimized Box–Behnken response surface methodology. Ten cellulose-degrading were identified: ZL-5, ZL-69, ZL-88, ZL-95, ZL-111, ZL-137, ZL-139, ZL-140, ZL-187, ZL-216, which ZL-139 had highest production capacity, secretion 7.8781 U/mL enzyme-producing medium. identified as Bacillus cereus; best glucose—4.284 g/L, yeast extract—1.454 MgSO4—0.417 KH2PO4—0.5 K2HPO4—1.5 NaCl—1.0 g/L. conclusion, strain has good for crop can be candidate straw-rotting agent northeast promising prospects utilization.

Development of a finer-resolution multi-year emission inventory for open biomass burning in Heilongjiang Province, China

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Dec. 2, 2024

Open biomass burning (OBB) is a significant source of air pollutants, profoundly impacting regional quality and global climate change. However, due to the lack high-resolution burned area products, limited data resolution, inappropriate emission factors (EFs), current OBB inventories have uncertainties. In this study, we integrated FireCCI51 product (250 m), gridded data, localized EFs, various statistical survey compile finer-resolution m) long-term (2001–2020) inventory 11 pollutants for Heilongjiang Province (an important agricultural forestry region in China). The results indicated that annual average emissions were 12.26, 63.70, 931.60, 17,203.35, 16.09, 171.25, 39.83, 71.22, 184.33, 129.16, 6.35 Gg BC, CH4, CO, CO2, NH3, NMVOC, NOx, OC, PM10, PM2.5, SO2, respectively. Taking PM2.5 as an example, from cropland, forest, grassland accounted 73%, 26%, 1% Geographically, primarily concentrated western, southwestern, northeastern regions Heilongjiang. peak exhibited notable seasonal variation, with maxima occurring April October. This extensive straw during spring autumn ploughing seasons. study provide detailed multi-year crucial atmospheric transport models can support development effective pollution control strategies greenhouse gas mitigation measures.

Published: Dec. 16, 2024

The mitigating effects of straw burning bans on air pollution are widely known; however, their indoor generally ignored. Cooking fuel use is an important factor that affects quality. However, the debate over pros and cons a province-wide ban has been major issue in environmental economics. By utilizing household survey data, this study investigates role cooking households. To infer causal relationships, difference-in-difference models compare households provinces with without complete open (COSB) employed. results show COSBs promote clean fuels discourage firewood for by These hold true after series robustness tests, such as parallel trends placebo tests. effect coal not significant. Further analysis shows heterogeneity fuels. Thus, conversion to cleaner rural households, but implementation these policies needs be contextualized.
