Remote Sensing of Environment: A comprehensive study using innovative GIS methods to demonstrate 50 years of linkages between human activity and subsequent impacts on water quantity and quality in the Yangtze Plain.
Resources, Conservation and Recycling: To preserve and restore water ecosystems, China has implemented increasingly stringent emissions standards (Weak, Moderate, and Ambitious) for wastewater treatment plants and constructed wetlands (CWs) are an effective means of improving tailwater standards.
Sustainability Science: This study underscored the importance of harmonising local initiatives with global sustainability objectives and can inspire local governance to champion resilience policies that harmoniously integrate local actions with global sustainability goals, adapting to evolving uncertainty scenarios.
Ecological Economics: Using a multi-regional input-output model and cropland limits of agri-food consumption and production, we identified specific countries and commodity supply chains that contribute to the exceedance of production-based cropland limits of producer countries (both domestic and via trade).
