This study demonstrated large-scale and high-resolution modelling of wind damage vulnerability in Norway. The hybrid mechanistic wind damage model, ForestGALES, was adapted to map the critical wind speeds(CWS) of damage across Norway using a national forest attribute map at a 16 m × 16 m spatial resolution. P arametrization of the model for the Norwegian context was done using the literature and the National Forest Inventory data. This new parametrization of the model for Norwegian forests yielded estimates of CWS significantly different from the default parametrization. Both parametrizations fell short of providing acceptable discrimination of the damaged area following the storm of November 19, 2021 in the central southern region of Norway when using unadjusted CWS. After adjusting the CWS and the storm wind speeds by a constant factor, the Norwegian parametrization provided acceptable discrimination and was thus defined as suitable to use in future studies, despite the lack of field-and laboratory experiments to directly derive parameters for Norwegian forests. The windstorm event used for model validation in this study highlighted the challenges of predicting wind damage to forests in landscapes with complex topography. Future studies should focus on further developing ForestGALES and new datasets describing extreme wind climates to better represent the wind and tree interactions in complex topography, and predict the level of risk in order to develop local climate-smart forest management strategies.展开更多

文摘To satisfy the increasing global energy demand,while searching for new energy sources,it’s important to take a closer look at the resources already at our disposal and optimize their use.This comprehensive review explores the evolving landscape of unconventional oil resources,focusing on the environmental and economic implica-tions of bitumen partial upgrading technologies,particularly within the Canadian context.With over 55%of the world’s oil reserves comprising of unconventional oil,which includes extra-heavy oil and oil sand bitumen,there is a growing trend to shift from traditional oil sources to these abundant yet under-utilized reserves.This review delves into the challenges and advancements in bitumen partial upgrading,highlighting the latest technologies in thermal cracking,hydrocracking,catalytic cracking,and innovative methods like surfactant integration,cavi-tation,microwave,and plasma-assisted upgrading.It also discusses the environmental implications and eco-nomic feasibility of these technologies,emphasizing the necessity for sustainable and cost-effective solutions at petroleum field sites.Furthermore,the report introduces the transformative concept of Bitumen Beyond Com-bustion(BBC),which explores the non-combustion uses of bitumen and its asphaltene fraction in manufacturing high-value carbon-based products.These novel approaches align with global sustainability goals,offering the potential for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and new routes to diversify the economic ap-plications of bitumen.The review then concludes with an assessment of current challenges and future research directions,advocating for a balanced approach that harmonizes technological innovation,environmental stewardship,and economic viability in the field of bitumen upgrading.
文摘Natural resources,green energy,and sustainable development are closely linked with concepts that carry mutual goals to endorse social equity,economic prosperity,and ecological stability while curtailing the harmful influence on the globe.However,the recognition of the Sustainable Development Goals(SDG-7,SDG-13)is closely entangled with digital economy.In this pursuit,this study scrutinizes the effect of dig-italization,renewable energy,and natural resources on the ecological footprint in China from 1990Q1-2022Q4.The empirical analyses are carried out by employing the Quantile-on-Quantile regression,and cross-quantile and partial cross-quantile correlation approaches to inspect the tail dependence of model parameters.The empirical outcomes highlight how China’s environmental quality is influenced by exoge-nous variables,including digitalization index,renewable energy consumption,and natural resources.Digitalization has adverse impact on the ecological footprint in lower quantiles,while insignificant in higher quantiles.Moreover,a strong adverse association exists between ecological footprint and renew-able energy,which syndicate all the quantiles of renewable energy with linking over lower to middle quantiles and weak in higher quantiles of ecological footprint.Besides,the estimated analysis discloses nuanced dependencies across various quantiles.Similarly,it can be found that the strong negative effect of natural resources on ecological footprint in initial quantiles,moderate in middle quantiles,and less positive effect in higher quantiles.By explaining these dynamics,the current study offers valuable intu-itions designed at controlling China toward its dual-carbon target and encouraging the development of a sustainable digital and green economy and thereby,continuing towards achieving SDG-7,and SDG-13 objectives.

文摘The rapid development of novel energy materials has led to a sustained surge in the global demand for fluorine.Fluorite is the primary source of fluorine globally and is increasingly being exploited.The estimated annual production of fluorite worldwide is approximately 8 million tons,with an additional 5 million tons of fluorite tailings.This accumulation not only consumes land resources,but also contributes to dust generation and F-percolation,leading to water and air contamination.This paper comprehensively reviews the utilization methods of fluorite tailings,including the flotation recovery of quartz and fluorite,the preparation of cement mineralizing agents,and the preparation of concrete mineral additives,autoclaved lime sand brick,and glass-ceramics.Furthermore,potential future applications and research directions are proposed,including the comprehensive recovery of valuable minerals,auxiliary cementitious materials preparation,and the functionalization of glass-ceramics.This study can serve as a reference for expediting the utilization of fluorite tailings,promoting the development of tailing-free mines,and establishing sustainable development strategies.

文摘With the development of the new energy industry and the depletion of nickel sulfide ore resources,laterite nickel ore has become the main source of primary nickel,and nickel for power batteries has become a new growth point in consumption.This paper systematically summarizes the processes,parameters,products,recovery rates,environmental indicators,costs,advantages,disadvantages and the latest research progress of mainstream nickel extraction processes from laterite nickel ore.It also provides a comparative analysis of the environmental impact and economic efficiency of different nickel extraction processes.It is found that the current nickel extraction processes from laterite nickel ore globally for commercial production mainly include the RKEF process for producing ferronickel and the HPAL process for producing intermediate products.The former accounts for about 80%of laterite nickel ore production.Compared to each other,the investment cost per ton of nickel metal production capacity for the RKEF is about 43000$,with an operational cost of about 16000$per ton of nickel metal and a total nickel recovery rate of 77%–90%.Its products are mainly used in stainless steels.For the HPAL process,the investment cost per ton of nickel metal production capacity is about 56000$,with an operational cost of about 15000$per ton of nickel metal and a total nickel recovery rate of 83%–90%.Its products are mainly used in power batteries.The significant differences between the two lies in energy consumption and carbon emissions,with the RKEF being 2.18 and 2.37 times that of the HPAL,respectively.Although the use of clean energy can greatly reduce the operational cost and environmental impact of RKEF,if RKEF is converted to producing high Ni matte,its economic and environmental performance still cannot match that of the HPAL and oxygen-enriched side-blown processes.Therefore,it can be inferred that with the increasing demand for nickel in power batteries,HPAL and oxygen-enriched side blowing processes will play a greater role in laterite nickel extraction.

文摘Effective management of water resources,especially groundwater,is crucial and requires a precise understanding of aquifer characteristics,imposed stresses,and the groundwater balance.Simulation-optimization models plays a vital role in guiding planners toword sustainable long-term aquifer exploita-tion.This study simulated monthly water table variations in the Kashan Plain over a ten-year period from 2008 to 2019 across 125 stress periods using the GMS model.The model was calibrated for both steady-state and transient conditions for the 2008–2016 period and validated for the 2016–2019 period.Results indicated a 4.4 m decline in groundwater levels over the 10-year study period.Given the plain's location in a arid climatic zone with limited effective precipitation for aquifer recharge,the study focused on ground-water extraction management.A modified two-point hedging policy was employed as a solution to mitigate critical groundwater depletion,reducing the annual drawdown rate from 0.44 m to 0.31 m and conserving 255 million cubic meters(mcm)of water annually.Although this approach slightly decreased reliability(i.e.the number of months meeting full water demands),it effectively minimized the risk of severe droughts and irreparable damages.This policy offers managers a dynamical and intelligent tool for regulating groundwater extraction,balancing aquifer sustainability with agricultural and urban water requirements.
文摘Water scarcity in Khuzestan Province,Iran,has attracted growing concerns despite the region's abundant water resources.The province predominantly relies on surface water,prompting an assessment of groundwater's potential to supplement water supplies during surface water shortages.This study assesses the province's groundwater availability and quality under increased exploitation conditions.Between 2008 and 2018,data on groundwater quantity and quality were collected from 204 exploration wells and 70 piezometric wells across 19 aquifers.The analysis revealed that 53%of aquifers in the eastern and northeastern regions experienced declining groundwater levels.Hydrochemical assessments indicated low concentrations of major ions in the northeastern,while high levels were observed from the central region towards the southeast.These variations were attributed to agricultural and industrial activities,seawater intrusion,and the influences of evaporation and geological factors.The dominant hydrochemical facies identified were of the Ca-Cl type.Water quality classification showed that 48%of groundwater samples fell within the C4S4-C4S1 category,primarily in the western,central,and southern regions,while 27%were classified as C3S2,C3S1,and 25%as C2S1,mainly in the northern and eastern regions.The Irrigation WWater Quality(IWQ)index indicated that many samples were suitable for irrigation.Additionally,the analysis potable groundwater was primarily found in the northern,northeastern,and eastern aquifers,with quality declining toward the south.The study highlights that certain aquifers in the northern and eastern regions offer greater potential for sustainable groundwater exploitation during water shortages.These findings provide valuable insights for on how to implement effective land and water management strategies to mitigate future water crises.

文摘The black wolfberry(Lycium ruthenicum;2n=2x=24)is an important medicinal plant with ecological and economic value.Its fruits have numerous beneficial pharmacological activities,especially those of anthocyanins,polysaccharides,and alkaloids,and have high nutritional value.However,the lack of available genomic resources for this species has hindered research on its medicinal and evolutionary mechanisms.In this study,we developed the telomere-to-telomere(T2T)nearly gapless genome of L.ruthenicum(2.26 Gb)by integrating PacBio HiFi,Nanopore Ultra-Long,and Hi-C technologies.The assembled genome comprised 12 chromosomes with 37,149 protein-coding genes functionally annotated.Approximately 80%of the repetitive sequences were identified,of which long terminal repeats(LTRs)were the most abundant,accounting for 73.01%.The abundance of LTRs might be the main reason for the larger genome of this species compared to that of other Lycium species.The species-specific genes of L.ruthenicum were related to defense mechanisms,salt tolerance,drought resistance,and oxidative stress,further demonstrating their superior adaptability to arid environments.Based on the assembled genome and fruit transcriptome data,we further constructed an anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway and identified 19 candidate structural genes and seven transcription factors that regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis in the fruit developmental stage of L.ruthenicum,most of which were highly expressed at a later stage in fruit development.Furthermore,154 potential disease resistance-related nucleotidebinding genes have been identified in the L.ruthenicum genome.The whole-genome and proximal,dispersed,and tandem duplication genes in the L.ruthenicum genome enriched the number of genes involved in anthocyanin synthesis and resistance-related pathways.These results provide an important genetic basis for understanding genome evolution and biosynthesis of pharmacologically active components in the Lycium genus.

文摘Assessing forest vulnerability to disturbances at a high spatial resolution and for regional and national scales has become attainable with the combination of remote sensing-derived high-resolution forest maps and mechanistic risk models. This study demonstrated large-scale and high-resolution modelling of wind damage vulnerability in Norway. The hybrid mechanistic wind damage model, ForestGALES, was adapted to map the critical wind speeds(CWS) of damage across Norway using a national forest attribute map at a 16 m × 16 m spatial resolution. P arametrization of the model for the Norwegian context was done using the literature and the National Forest Inventory data. This new parametrization of the model for Norwegian forests yielded estimates of CWS significantly different from the default parametrization. Both parametrizations fell short of providing acceptable discrimination of the damaged area following the storm of November 19, 2021 in the central southern region of Norway when using unadjusted CWS. After adjusting the CWS and the storm wind speeds by a constant factor, the Norwegian parametrization provided acceptable discrimination and was thus defined as suitable to use in future studies, despite the lack of field-and laboratory experiments to directly derive parameters for Norwegian forests. The windstorm event used for model validation in this study highlighted the challenges of predicting wind damage to forests in landscapes with complex topography. Future studies should focus on further developing ForestGALES and new datasets describing extreme wind climates to better represent the wind and tree interactions in complex topography, and predict the level of risk in order to develop local climate-smart forest management strategies.
文摘Groundwater,the world’s largest freshwater supply,is facing increasing strain due to various uses such as agriculture,industry,livestock,and household.This study aims to investigate groundwater prospective zonation in the Bandu Sub-watershed in Purulia,West Bengal,using the AHP model and RS&GIS methodologies.To achieve Goal 6 of the UN-initiated 17 SDGs,it is crucial to determine the spatial distribution of groundwater prospective zones village-by-village,with 1/3 of the regions falling under red alert zones for sustainable development.The 16 most crucial elements affecting groundwater prospective zones(GWPZs)were mapped using AHP,and the final prospective map was obtained through Weighted Overlay analysis.The study identified five different classes within the Sub-watershed as excellent,good,moderate,poor,and very poor.The validation results showed that the approach used to derive GWPZ is reliable,and the results can be applied to future sustainable developments to reduce water shortages through suitable management methods.The research aims to increase the effectiveness of sustainable groundwater zone management,ensuring long-term water management and access.

文摘Quantitatively assessing the carrying capacity of water and land resources systems in arid and semi-arid areas is crucial for achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.In this work,taking Yulin City in China as a case study and employing the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation(CRITIC)method,a modified model of coupling degree was developed to evaluate the car-rying capacity of water and land resources systems endowment and utilization,as well as their coupling coordination degree from 2013 to 2020.Our findings indicate that the water and land resources of Yulin are diminishing due to declines in agriculture,higher industrial water use,and wetland shrinkage.However,reallocating domestic water for ecological sustainability and reducing sloping farmland can mitigate this trend of decline.Temporally,as the coupling coordination between water and land resources system endowment in Yulin continuously improved,the coupling coordination between water and land resources system utilization first decreased and then in-creased with 2016 as the turning point.Spatially,the carrying capacity of water and land resources systems,the coupling coordination degree between water and land resources system endowment,and the coupling coordination degree between water and land resources system utilization in Yulin exhibited the same pattern of being higher in the six northern counties than in the six southern counties.Improving the water resources endowment is vital for the highly efficient use of water and land resources.
