With the rapid advancement of remote sensing technology, the recognition of agricultural field parcels using time-series remote sensing images has become an increasingly emphasized task. In this paper, we focus on identifying crops within scattered, irregular, and poorly defined agricultural fields in many Asian regions. We select two representative locations with small and scattered parcels and construct

Soil moisture (SM) is a key variable in hydrometeorology and climate systems. With the growing interest in capturing fine-scale SM variability for effective hydroclimate applications, spaceborne L-band bistatic radar systems using Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technology hold great potential to meet the demand for high spatiotemporal resolution SM data. Although primarily

Using alkali-activated slag ultra-low carbon concrete (AAS-ULCC) for manufacturing segments offers a novel approach to reducing carbon emissions in shield tunnels. However, the inherent high shrinkage and brittleness of AAS-ULCC could potentially impact the safety and durability of tunnel structures. This study focusses on optimising AAS-ULCC to enhance its suitability for segment structures in shield

Growing lignocellulosic feedstock on marginal land is one of the attractive ways to achieve China's goals of sustainable development and carbon neutrality while transforming its energy structure. The expansive use of nationally distributed and heterogeneous marginal lands is prone to widespread concerns about sustainability risks at all stages. We utilised a productivity-based suitability index to

Crops are key players in agroecological nutrient dynamics. While the environmental impact of introduced agronomic nutrients has been widely studied, crop traits as modulators of environmental stoichiometry in agroecosystems have not been systematically considered. To observe crop-driven stoichiometric variation, we assessed nutrient variability of greenhouse substrate culture effluents on a nationwide

Increasing the adoption of alternative technologies is vital to ensure a successful transition to net-zero emissions in the manufacturing sector. However, existing models are limited in their ability to analyse technology adoption and the impact of policy interventions in generating sufficient demand to reduce cost in the face of uncertainty. Such a model is vital for assessing policy-instruments for

Fused Deposition Modelling is the most widely used 3D printing technologies. To contribute towards net zero manufacturing, the purpose of this research was to establish the scientific base for reducing energy consumption in fused deposition modelling by studying the influence of processing parameters on energy requirements, unit process Scope 2 emissions and product quality. The vision was to define

The inherent uncertainty associated with wind and solar energy poses challenges in ensuring the reliability of the power system with a high penetration of renewable energy. Therefore, incorporating uncertainty is vital during the planning of power systems. Traditional analytical methods often necessitate transforming the uncertainty of large-scale power systems into deterministic optimisation planning

The fashion industry negatively impacts air and water quality and contributes to landfill through its toxic chemical use, over-production of goods and inefficient shipping practices. Consumers’ improper consumption of fashion exacerbates these environmental impacts. Post-consumer textile can be managed by consumers via deciding on the particular practices reducing the textile waste. Consumers play

Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) is promoted as a sustainable approach to enhance farm productivity and ensure a reliable food supply. This study examines the association between ISFM, maize yield, income, total asset value, and food security using a quasi-experimental approach, drawing on data from 966 farm households in Ghana. The results show that ISFM adoption increases crop yield by

The growing environmental concern has promoted the global shift towards sustainable consumption, leading to the focus on reusable products. While extant literature has delved into the purchase intention of feminine hygiene products, it has often disregard the intentions behind women switching to reusable alternatives. To address this gap, the present research explores the drivers addressing women's

Considering the lack of research on households' investment decisions in promoting photovoltaic projects in existing studies, this study constructs a four-party evolutionary game model based on local governments, financing institutions, photovoltaic enterprises and households from the perspective of inclusive finance. In addition, according to the influence of irrational psychological factors on the

Satellite-derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is inevitably contaminated by clouds and aerosols, causing large uncertainties in depicting the seasonal and interannual variations of terrestrial ecosystems, and potentially misrepresents their responses to climate change and climate extremes. Although various methods have been developed to reconstruct NDVI time series using the similarity

Community Open Spaces (COS) refer to the fine-grained and micro-open areas within communities that offer residents convenient opportunities for social interaction and health benefits. The mapping of COS using Very High Resolution (VHR) imagery can provide critical community-scale data for monitoring urban sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the three-dimensional structure of COS often results

Near-infrared reflectance of vegetation multiplied by incoming sunlight (NIRvP) is important for gross primary production (GPP) estimation. While NIRvP is a useful indicator of canopy structure and solar radiation, its association with heat or moisture stress is not fully understood. Thus, this research aimed to explore the impact of air temperature (Ta) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on the NIRvP-GPP

Climate change and environmental degradation are strongly affecting our lives and the way companies do business. The fashion industry is responsible for huge environmental impacts, from production to disposal. This study aims to systematically review the literature related to sustainable consumer behavior in the fashion industry. Adopting a consumer perspective, the determinants of consumer behavior

We present a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (DCGE) model to estimate the long-term impacts of CCUS on carbon emission reduction, energy structure, economic growth, and social welfare. Results show that CCUS contributes to optimizing energy structure led by renewable sources and raises the share of clean energy generation to 85.41%∼89.84% in 2060. CCUS can help China achieve an earlier peak

Bioeconomy clusters (bioclusters) have been a key strategy for bioeconomic transformation. By leveraging knowledge, they can enhance innovative outputs, thereby improving agricultural productivity and steering the sector towards sustainable development. Bioclusters are complex and dynamic systems, reflecting environments conducive to actors’ interaction for research and development activities. This
