This study analyzes the mechanization-driven growth of agricultural net carbon sinks in China, applying decoupling and decomposition analysis to examine the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions. It provides policy impli…

Nemecek T.

This paper proposes methods to update and harmonize greenhouse gas emission datasets for crop production. Standardization of emission factors in agriculture enables more accurate carbon accounting.

Desmond S.

This study constructs a carbon inventory for health and aged care facilities, identifying emission sources. The findings inform decarbonization strategies in the healthcare sector.

Ivanova I.Y.

This study analyzes CO2 emissions and absorption across regions in East Russia, providing quantitative data on regional carbon balances to inform climate policy.
