Aiming at the complex problems of water resources, energy, food, and ecology in ten parallel tributaries directly joining Yellow River Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (the Ten Kongduis), coordination water–energy–food–ecology (WEFE) system Dalad Banner its townships was studied from perspective coupling time space. First, evaluation index WEFE is constructed, then degree model, grey relationship geographical detector are used to quantitatively evaluate development level spatio-temporal evolution characteristics explore driving mechanism. The results suggest that (1) comprehensive showed a slowly rising trend on whole. growth trends for subsystems integrated assessment 0.65%, 21.02%, 17.01%, 1.17%, 9.96%, respectively. This shows energy subsystem occupies main position. (2) high; mean value 0.967, which high-level stage. But low; 0.668, elementary spatial unbalanced uncoordinated Banner; this phenomenon mainly exists eastern part Banner, with gradual change west center area higher harmonization. (3) good trend. average Wangaizhao town has largest increasing trend, 12.69%. Fengshuiliang Town smallest −10.37%. region gradually developing stage well coordination, each township basically entered middle-rank (4) In general, impact, ecological impact grain weakest. terms differences, greatest while least explanatory power. interaction, interaction among grain, influence changes obviously time, mechanism stability relatively weak. study can provide decision basis coordinated high-quality sustainable townships.

Despite the vital role of palm oil in global food system, academic attention to its relationship with security remains relatively recent.This article aims understand between and by employing a bibliometric analysis using Bibliometrix software investigate publication characteristics, authorship, international collaborations, research trends.Surprisingly, our reveals that Malaysia, not Indonesia (the largest producer oil), emerges as most productive influential country this area research.Most focuses on environmental impact cultivation, neglecting crucial aspects like direct influence through factors nutrition accessibility.Furthermore, discourse lacks diversity, only handful authors actively engaged exploring oil-food nexus.The found publications focus heavily compared other vegetable oils soybean, rapeseed, sunflower within context security.This reflects controversial position holds.Even though they play an equally important fulfilling fat needs, unlike oil, haven't been subjected same level scrutiny.This study raises critical concern: Are certain objectively addressing security, or is there tendency disproportionately target highly crops oil?This imbalance begs question: surface-level explanations, are more complex driving bias?It paves way for future directions, emphasizing need holistic balanced approach intersection production address challenges effectively.

Abstract The Water-Energy Nexus (WEN) provides a comprehensive concept for the cooperative management of resources. Although WEN system in cities is intricately connected to socioeconomic activities, relationship between and economic systems remains understudied. This study introduces tri-dimensional Pressure Index (NPI) assess pressure on system. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita city tiers urban agglomeration were used characteristics We conducted case 296 China 1330 counties United States from 2012 2019. During 9 year period, average, have relieved by 22% 27% States, measured NPI. Cities with most ideal (low all dimensions) rank merely middle eight classes, GDP 74% 85% highest-GDP-per-capita class US respectively. Well-performing does not yield best outcomes. High water correlates better performance US, while high-energy-pressure had about 50% 70% highest respectively, suggesting stronger constraints energy stress. Urban analysis revealed negative performance. NPI emerging 0.6–1 lower than regionally-central China, 0.2–0.5 US. These results underscore contradiction preferred higher performance, underpin resource curse hypothesis at city-level two considered giants. A sustainable approach harmonize urgent need.

Abstract Context The value of all the ultimate goods and services that ecosystem provides for human welfare long-term economic social development is known as gross product (GEP). For study GEP accounting, suggested water-energy-food (WEF) nexus offers a fresh viewpoint. Objectives aim this work to build accounting index system based on WEF, investigate its spatiotemporal evolution characteristics, assess trade-offs synergies between within water, energy, food subsystems. Methods We used Biophysical & monetary method calculate amount WEF in five time periods (2005, 2009, 2013, 2017, 2021) ArcGIS spatial mapping. Functional quantity interactions were identified by statistically analyzing pattern. Results Considering passage time, TGRA displayed an increase trend. From standpoint evolution, distribution pattern showed "high east west, low middle". was dominating. It discovered space cold hot areas single service function three subsystems had variances. Conclusions This demonstrated presents heterogeneity, water subsystem contributed highest proportion value, tradeoffs/synergies different at times, whole locally.
