Brexit fragmented the EU-UK carbon market, creating a persistent carbon basis. Using auction data, the study shows proxy hedging removes only 0.3% of basis risk and about 30% of outright UK price risk, leaving ~€23.3/t annual residual risk …

Guangxin Wu, Xiaodong Wang, 郝义身 +3

This paper proposes a method to optimize carbon recovery as an internal carbon source by layer-dependent sludge selection in wastewater treatment, enhancing denitrification and reducing fibrous impurities that cause membrane fouling. This a…

This study examines the relationship between soil organic carbon and maize yield using real-world farm data in Northeast China. The positive association found in field trials does not hold on actual farms, suggesting that soil carbon manage…

Harish Arya, Munesh Kumar, Chandra P. Kuniyal +1

This study evaluates the production potential of Aucklandia costus under traditional cultivation in the Garhwal Himalaya, estimating associated carbon credits and livelihood benefits for local communities. It explores the potential for comb…

Skliar Viktoriia, Kovalenko Ihor, Butenko Andrii +4

This study evaluates the impact of field-protective agroforestry plantings on microclimate, population density, vitality, morphology, and yield of winter wheat in Ukrainian agricultural landscapes. Agroforestry reduced temperature extremes,…

Laura Salmivaara, Annukka Vainio, Mari Niva +2

This paper examines whether consumers' voluntary carbon offset purchases reflect a genuine commitment to sustainable lifestyles or serve as a 'license to pollute' that justifies environmentally harmful behavior. It analyzes the impact of of…
