The increase in anthropogenic phosphorus emissions harms the environment and poses a threat to sustainable development of society economy. However, most studies on pollution have focused end-of-pipe control methods such as wastewater treatment processes, resource recovery, water bodies. There is lack quantitative research at production stage, well in-depth analysis socio-economic driving forces behind emissions. Based life cycle model index decomposition method, this study established framework for emissions, which includes four components. We used construct emission inventory 17 different products 9 cities Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration China from 2012 2021, analyzed main drivers intensity, population, affluence. results showed that Zhaoqing had highest overall reaching 165.19 Gg P, accounting 28.55% total over past decade. an trend first increasing then decreasing, 54.99 P year-1 62.36 2017, decreasing 55.48 2021. Fertilizer were source followed by industrial crop products. indicated intensity was primary driver decrease effects caused affluence population growth gradually offset reduction achieved intensity. Over time, marginal benefits would diminish, while strengthen, potentially leading further Therefore, we emphasize need continue reducing future innovate technologies reduce dependence fertilizer economic development, thus decoupling

To address global phosphorus reduction challenges, we establish a quantitative framework for anthropogenic emissions using lifecycle model and decomposition analysis. Focusing on China's Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration, highlight persistent difficulties in controlling from agricultural fertilizers the emerging issue industrial products. Emission intensity is crucial factor reduction, yet gradually offset by affluence population growth. Prioritizing control with supplementary delve into decoupling challenge between emissions, expansion, economic development. Proposing green development, our approach contributes to achieving sustainable management goals.

Adaptive planning of water infrastructure systems is crucial to bolster urban resilience in the face climate change while meeting needs rapidly changing metabolisms. Urban maintain intricate interconnections with other critical domains (CIDs). Multi-sector dependencies and joint management different CIDs have gained interest recent research mitigate undesired cascading effects across domains. Yet, combined modeling simulation multiple overcome limitations tools software often siloed individual In this paper, we contribute a systematic review 24 peer-reviewed publications on coupled (water supply drainage networks) CIDs, including energy grids, mobility networks, IT systems, extracted from larger set 222 publications. First, identify trends, frameworks, enabling interlinked CIDs. Then, define an agenda priorities for future research. Acknowledging opportunities provided by open-source tools, data, standardized evaluation schemes, fostering should prioritize knowledge transfer, address differences spatial temporal dependencies, scale up simulations network level, explore multi-sector beyond bilateral dependencies.

Optimizing the structure of carbon metabolic network is essential for enhancing performance. However, a knowledge gap remains in systematically evaluating and comprehensively identifying key nodes paths, particularly metabolism system that involves frequent transition element across air, water, soil mediums. Hence, taking Guangzhou, China, as case study, we constructed cross-media model based on material flow analysis. Subsequently, general structural characteristics nodes/paths were investigated through integration trophic analysis, contribution stability analysis ecological The results primarily suggest connections among have become looser, was medium state with some defects from 2010 to 2020. Sectors construction transportation, well flows agriculture sector energy conversion transportation sector, identified paths influencing characteristics. twenty-one optimization scenarios developed, suggesting advantage collaborative regulation (e.g., increasing both by 50%). This work may provide useful guidance system.

Abstract Background To reduce the effects of climate change, current fossil-based energy system must transition to a low-carbon based largely on renewables. In both academic literature and non-academic discourse concerning transition, resilience is frequently mentioned as an additional objective or requirement. Despite its frequent use, very malleable term with different meanings in contexts. Main text This paper seeks identify how understood field whether there are similar aspects ways understood. this end, we review more than 130 papers for definitions resilience. addition, use categorize examine these. The results paint diverse picture terms definition understanding system. However, few archetypes can be identified. first uses straightforward approach, which has one clearly defined equilibrium state. Here, relation response disturbance ability quickly return equilibrium. second type allows equilibriums, resilient move after disruption. Another focuses process actions adapt change. reviewed, find that operational often encompasses archetypes. diversity shows versatile concept elements. Conclusions With paper, aim provide insight into differs depending aspect studied, elements might necessary understandings We conclude by providing information recommendations potential usage our lessons learned.
