This paper systematically analyzes the current status of China’s shale gas industry from five aspects for the first time—resource situ...... hiện toàn bộ
Improving Effects of Afforestation with Different Forest Types on Soil Nutrients and Bacterial Community in Barren Hills of North ChinaSustainability - Tập 14 Số 3 - Trang 1202
Zhenlu Qiu, Cong Shi, Mingyuan Zhao, Kefan Wang, Jihui Yu, Tongtong Wang, Fuchen Shi
Afforestation can improve soil nutrient content and microbial community structure, increase soil carbon sequestration, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, at present, there is a lack of research on the low hills and mountainous areas in North China. In order to scientifically evaluate the effect of afforestation recovery with different forest types on the improvement of the soil ...... hiện toàn bộ
More Than a Potential Hazard—Approaching Risks from a Social-Ecological PerspectiveSustainability - Tập 9 Số 7 - Trang 1039
Carolin Völker, Johanna Kramm, Heide Kerber, Engelbert Schramm, Martina Winker, Martín Zimmermann
Risks have been classically understood as a probability of damage or a potential hazard resulting in appropriate management strategies. However, research on environmental issues such as pollutants in the aquatic environment or the impacts of climate change have shown that classical management approaches do not sufficiently cover these interactions between society and nature. There have bee...... hiện toàn bộ
