Improving grazing intensity in global rangelands can sequester 2.2 GtCO2eq/yr, but maintaining livestock production via supplemental feeding reduces net mitigation by 2-31%, highlighting the need for systems-level assessment.

Guohao Li, Xue-yi You

This paper proposes an optimization method for predicting carbon emissions from urban water systems from a socio-technical perspective. It integrates energy consumption and emission factors in water treatment processes to improve prediction…

This paper proposes a composite carbon emission factor (CCEF) demand response framework that adaptively integrates dynamic and marginal carbon emission factors. The co-optimization model minimizes generation costs under network constraints …

Jing Chen, Zhiying Huang, Lihua Zhao +2

This study analyzes how embodied carbon transfer (ECT) and carbon sequestration service flows (CSSF) interact to reshape urban carbon neutrality across 297 Chinese cities. It identifies spatial patterns and driving mechanisms, finding that …
