Who affects carbon emissions? Drivers and decoupling effects of agricultural carbon emissions—evidence from Sichuan, China

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8

Published: Aug. 29, 2024

Mitigating agricultural carbon emissions is pivotal for attaining the objectives of peak and neutrality. Utilizing a time-varying parametric Cobb-Douglas (C-D) production function, this study employs an enhanced Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition approach, Tapio decoupling model, Monte Carlo simulations to investigate determinants dynamics within Sichuan Province from 2010 2020. The findings reveal that: (1) Factors such as emission intensity, structure, labor inputs, capital stock played significant role in suppressing emissions, collectively contributing reduction 484.12 million tonnes. (2) unstable economic development Province. Capital stock, alongside intensity significantly contributed decoupling. To harmonize growth with reduction, emphasis should be placed on manure management resource utilization livestock poultry farming. Furthermore, leveraging technological advancements enhance efficiency crucial reducing emissions. Simultaneously, strategic fixed asset growth, focused energy conservation, can catalyze synergistic effects spillovers.

Methods, Progress and Challenges in Global Monitoring of Carbon Emissions from Biomass Combustion

Atmosphere, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(10), P. 1247 - 1247

Published: Oct. 18, 2024

Global biomass burning represents a significant source of carbon emissions, exerting substantial influence on the global cycle and climate change. As emissions become increasingly concerning, accurately quantifying from has emerged as pivotal challenging area scientific research. This paper presents comprehensive review primary monitoring techniques for burning, encompassing both bottom-up top-down approaches. It examines current status limitations these in practice. The method primarily employs terrestrial ecosystem models, emission inventory methods, fire radiation power (FRP) techniques, which rely integration activity data factors to estimate emissions. atmospheric observation chemical transport models invert fluxes. Both methods continue face challenges, such limited satellite resolution affecting accuracy, uncertainties regions lacking ground validation, difficulties model optimization due complexity processes. In light considerations, this explores prospective evolution technology with particular emphasis significance high-precision estimation methodologies, technological advancements remote sensing, inventories. study aims provide forward-looking perspective offering valuable reference point related research policy formulation.

Managing wildfires in Italy: overcoming the emergency, planning the prevention

Forest - Rivista di Selvicoltura ed Ecologia Forestale, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 21(3), P. 37 - 47

Published: May 8, 2024

Managing wildfires in Italy: overcoming the emergency, planning preventionWildfires represent a critical environmental and social challenge, with longterm implications for human health, ecosystems, infrastructure.This complex issue is exacerbated by various factors, including socioeconomic changes, unsustainable practices agro-forestry land management, intensification of extreme weather events.The complexity fire management Italy necessitates effective governance mechanisms tools at both regional national levels.This study looks successful prevention strategies, such as prescribed burning proactive while also addressing existing challenges, coordination among relevant institutions need stronger regulatory frameworks.In addition to providing insights into current state proposing practical solutions, we suggest that more resilient sustainable practices, already successfully implemented some regions, should be adopted nationwide Italy.

Fire Risk Reduction and Recover Energy Potential: A Disruptive Theoretical Optimization Model to the Residual Biomass Supply Chain

Fire, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 7(8), P. 263 - 263

Published: July 23, 2024

Rural fires have been a constant concern, with most being associated land abandonment. However, some occur due to negligent attitudes towards fire, which is often used remove agroforestry leftovers. In addition the fire risk, this burning also represents waste of energy present in residual biomass. Both rural and affect three dimensions sustainability. The ideal solution seems be use biomass, avoiding need for recovering potential. process strongly affected by logistical costs, making recovery unfeasible. context, study aims propose an optimization model chain, focusing on results comprise summary current state art supply-chain optimization, as well disruptive mathematical optimize biomass supply chain. To achieve objective, literature review was carried out first phase, incorporating specificities context under arrive at final model. conclude, provides covering several metaheuristics, including ant colony genetic algorithms, particle swarm simulated annealing, can adding another valuable input discussion.

Published: July 26, 2024

Abstract The climate change over the Mediterranean region poses serious concerns about role of open vegetation fires in emissions climate-altering species. aim this work is to review current methodologies for quantifying greenhouse gases and black carbon from fires, as well data provided by four state-of-the-art inventories dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 nitrous oxide (N O) (BC) period 2003 - 2020. A limited number studies specifically addressed quantification region. Our fire region, where “top-down” methods have not yet implemented, reveals discrepancies across examined (GFED v4.1s, GFAS v1.2, FINN v2.5, EDGAR v8.0). Among these, v2.5 consistently reported highest emissions, while GFED v4.1s lowest. We observed that relative ranking total between varied species considered (e.g. CO vs. CH ) different proportions were attributed individual countries included domain. argued these differences related spatial resolutions input used detect occurrence approaches calculating amount fuel available, emission factors used. three reporting wildfire consistent identifying peaks years 2007, 2012 2017. hypothesized La Niña events could partially contribute triggering peaks. To increase accuracy consistency we recommend integrate bottom-up with top-down inversion based on satellite in-situ atmospheric observations.
