This study analyzes carbon emissions and crop carbon sequestration in Lanzhou's agricultural system (2000–2023) using the emission factor method. Plastic film and fertilizers are major emission sources; sheep contribute about half of livest…

Yu Fan, Yuxing Wang, Shimei Li

This study quantifies carbon sequestration and spatial equity of 20 urban parks in Linyi City using CASA and gravity models (2019-2024). Woody vegetation dominates carbon uptake; a Gini coefficient of 0.59 reveals extreme supply-demand imba…

Weihong Wu, Baoyi Lin

This paper analyzes MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) systems for agricultural soil organic carbon in offset markets, addressing methodologies, uncertainty, and policy implications. It provides practical insights to enhance the …

This study analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution of farmland carbon effects (emissions, absorption, net sequestration) in Jiangsu, China from 2011-2021 using SBM, entropy-weighted TOPSIS, and GM(1,1) prediction. Results show an overall upwa…

Xiaoqian Che, Shaokun Li

This paper identifies four systemic challenges in forest carbon credit systems (subjective additionality, overestimated permanence, inadequate leakage accounting, neglected biophysical effects) and proposes a comprehensive accounting framew…

Ruiying Ren, K Zhang, Liang Qi +4

This review categorizes methods for monitoring carbon stock change at the individual-plant scale into three pathways: process-based, state-based, and sensing-based. It compares their theoretical bases and uncertainties, and proposes a struc…
