Global forest product value chains are increasingly subject to regulatory requirements, such as legality and sustainability certification. For African forest products, a shift in the export destinations of forest products towards China, the leading timber product manufacturer, has raised...

Green travel is essential to the sustainability of environment and transportation and considerably contributes to city decarbonization. The covid-19 pandemic has dramatically transformed the way of travel, yet the hidden factors that drive those changes are still uncertain. This paper develops a...

This paper studies the effect of government land supply, allocate and use regulations on housing supply elasticity in urban China. In particular, we first extend the theoretical framework of Saiz (2010), then investigate the marginal effect of each land regulation and calculate the reduction of...

Mesoporous TiO2-Al2O3 composites with different Ti/Al molar ratios were successfully synthesized via pre-hydrolysis co-precipitation method and the corresponding NiW supported hydrotreating (HDT) catalysts were prepared via incipient wetness co-impregnation method. The effects of Ti modification...

The migrants usually need to bear two main costs: mobility cost and housing cost. In China, hukou constraint and land regulation affect labor migration through mobility cost and housing cost respectively, further affect labor spatial allocation and economic growth. We construct a spatial general...

Grasslands play important roles on all continents in ecosystem service and livestock production systems. With increasing human and livestock population, significant challenges are faced in providing safe and high quality animal and herbage products from grasslands in China. The family ranch is...

‘Climate-smart’ is the term coined to define agricultural systems that are resilient to climate change, and offer efficient emissions mitigation potential without compromising on productivity, food security and livelihoods. As part of the implementation of such systems, this study developed...

Balancing the need to increase crop yields with the need to reduce the environmental impacts of fertilizers will pose major policy, regulatory, and extension challenges for China. A growing number of studies have demonstrated the potential for improving fertilizer use efficiency in China, but it...
