Global emissions embodied in trade (EET) constitute approximately one-third of total carbon emissions. Although countries combat environmental impacts via international cooperation, it is unclear whether these social efforts fit the ecological challenges. It imperative to assess between agreements (IEAs) and EET. The article constructed global social-ecological networks during 1995–2021 for 189 countries. Based on assumption a Poisson-Binomial distribution, were statistically verified by bipartite exponential random graph modeling (ERGM). To measure degree fit, tested quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) correlation logistic regression. Results: (1) Social-ecological IEAs EET decreased last 27 years from 0.313 0.138, with effect network weakened; (2) relative importance world contribution outlines regional blocks; (3) An 8.681-year cycle was modeled predicted future shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenarios until 2050; (4) proposed ERGM-QAP method exhibits computational advantage, applicable other large-scale problems. interpreted as efficiency impact internalization, equity cooperation effectiveness human-nature interactions. Policy implications include accelerating IEA ratification, establishing unified ETS within top-contributing linking cap-and-trade systems issuing common credits internalize externalities.

Enhancing stakeholder acceptance of marine protected areas (MPAs) is key to fulfilling the 30 × Target, ocean-related Sustainable Development Goals, and UN Decade Ocean Science for (2021-2030). These require MPAs not merely as management interventions, but also social-ecological systems (SESs), where effectiveness complex coupling social ecological through interactions. However, relationships between perceived are often indirect mediated, while traditional models can yield statistical instabilities, risking false conclusions. This article tentatively proposes a partially informative Bayesian posterior framework with three steps five criteria, using theoretically based regulator formula an inverse-Wishart prior in penalized likelihood function stricter estimates. Using field surveys remote sensing data China's Sousa chinensis MPAs, study explores proposed perceptions. estimates improved model convergence, positive definiteness nonsingularity, revealing average 63 % underestimation standard errors. Monte Carlo bootstrapping suggested chain mediation layered mechanisms, whereby related stakeholder-MPA interaction. Practical implications include socially effective conservation, community-based activities, monitoring by scientific community. The more methods may offer preliminary insights broader biological conservation settings practices, subject contextual adaptations.

Introduction Despite China’s devotion to marine biodiversity by conserving 12.98% of its seas, recent years saw the more flattened growth protected area (MPA) establishment. Understanding establishment mechanisms MPAs is crucial for protecting wildlife and achieving balanced conservation development. However, traditional linear or generalized models are insufficient capture complex nonlinear effects between ecosystems society. Methods Adapting social-ecological system (SES) framework, from perspective public goods decision-making, this paper uses overdispersion-robust Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) regressions with high-dimensional fixed study distribution pattern factors influencing MPA in 49 Chinese coastal cities that built during 1998-2020. It also developed a mathematically based algorithm locate thresholds where change. Results show GDP over ¥55 billion (1998-based, equal ¥106.5 2020) be conducive establishment, while built-up areas 63 km² antagonistic Illustrated an N-shaped curve, article supplements previous studies U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve providing new theoretical insights perspective. Discussion Drawing on results, practical implications were given balance development, spatial-ecological socioeconomic alignment top-down adaptive governance, list prioritized receive fund as 2030 looms. The conclusions pertain global development merit future deepen research higher-order interactions dynamics.

The latest emerging transdisciplinary marine protected area (MPA) research scheme requires efficient approaches for theoretically based and data-driven method integration. However, due to the rapid development diversification of methods, it is growingly difficult locate new methods in methodological dimensions integrate them utmost utility. This study proposes a deep learning-based classification framework MPA management focused particularly on data theory capabilities using natural language processing (NLP). It extracted keywords from academic sources performed clustering semantic similarity, generating benchmark texts abstract labeling. By training learning NLP model analyzing abstracts 9049 empirical articles 1986 2024, scores were attributed each article, total 19 major categories 110 segment branches identified qualitative, quantitative, mixed genres. Combination types summarized, yielding data-theory neutralization principle where average tend approximate 0.50. Applying broadens traditional boundaries integration extends synthesis higher numbers, practical 2paradigm future research. Implications include bridging social ecological data, theorizing emergent challenges complex systems integrating construction science. applicable quantification other environmental disciplines can serve as guidance multidisciplinary © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
