Meteorological factors and the increase in extreme weather events are closely related to the incidence rate of infectious diarrhea. However, few studies have explored whether the impact of the same meteorological factors on the incidence rate of infe...

Dealing with the challenge of climate change has become a consensus in the international community, and the carbon sequestration and absorption function of forest ecosystems has significant potential in addressing climate change. This study, based on...

Energy is crucial to economic progress, but the contemporary worldwide population increase that demands greater energy generated from conventional exhaustible resources, an energy price upsurge, and environmental concerns, imperils sustainable econom...

This paper examines the nexus between the main forms of transport, related investments, specific air pollutants, and sustainable economic growth. The research is important since transport may act as a facilitator of social, economic, and environmenta...

The sustainable growth of income for farming households in pastoral areas represents a crucial challenge not only for China but also for other developing nations in the process of transition to ecologically friendly models. The scarcity of assets ava...

Forests are among the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, and their biomass serves as a key measure for assessing the biological productivity and carbon cycle of terrestrial forest ecosystems. Recognizing the factors that impact forest ecosystems...
