Urban Environments

open access: yes, 2023
AbstractUrbanization has dramatically changed Earth’s surface. This chapter starts with a qualitative look at the impact urban expansion has on the landscape, covering three existing urban classification schemes that have been created by other remote sensing scientists. We look at how these classifications can be used to quantify urban areas, and close

Regional-Scale Virtual Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium Factors of Potato Production in China

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Improving yield in potato production with minimal environmental impact is of great significance for China’s potato staple food policy. Previous research has been limited by the absence of regional-scale parameters to evaluate the environmental costs of ...

Virtual New Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Water Input, and Greenhouse Gas Emission Indicators for the Potatoes Consumed in China

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
Based on China’s potato staple food policy, we chose potatoes as a study case to analyze the following indicators—the virtual new nitrogen factor (VNNF), the virtual new phosphorus factor (VNPF), the virtual irrigation-water (IW) factor (VIWF), the ...

Exploring the Connection between Urban 3D Form and Building Energy Performance and the Influencing Mechanism

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021
Continuous growth of building energy consumption CO2 emission (BECCE) threatens urban sustainable development. Urban form is an important factor affecting BECCE. Compactness is a significant urban morphological characteristic.

Mercury isotopic compositions in fine particles and offshore surface seawater in a coastal area of East China: implications for Hg sources and atmospheric transformations [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021
Isotopic compositions of Mercury (Hg) in atmospheric particles (HgPM) are probably the mixed results of emission sources and atmospheric processes. Here, we present Hg isotopic compositions in daily fine particles (PM2.5) collected from an industrial ...
