• A Combined intPLUS and Emission-Linkage Framework for Provincial Carbon-Balance Projection (2026) · Systems · cited 2× · doi

  Single-variable accounting cannot capture the complex interplay between land-use dynamics, spatial economic activities, and ecological processes. Lack of integrated assessment workflow to evaluate how land-use change shapes the provincial carbon balance as a whole. Need for a framework that integrates carbon accounting, spatial interaction, and land-use simulation to project provincial carbon-balance trajectories under different scenarios.

• Spatio-temporal evolution, driving factors and ecological security assessment and prediction of emergy ecological footprint: a case study of the three river basin in China (2026) · Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution · doi

  The study identifies the challenge of addressing domestic environmental issues in river basins. It recognizes the difficulty in understanding the complex relationships between economic development, population growth, and environmental pressure. The paper highlights the need to develop effective prediction models for sustainable development in river basins.

• Evaluation of carbon sustainable development in the nine provinces and regions of the Yellow River Basin based on carbon ecological footprints (2026) · Scientific Reports · doi

  Additionally, future studies should consider integrating production-based and consumption-based accounting frameworks to explore the coupling mechanisms among capital flows, demographic structures, and carbon responsibilities, thereby providing a more comprehensive foundation for equitable and effective low-carbon governance in the Yellow River Basin. Future research should focus on advancing frontier directions such as the construction of dynamic carbon sink models, full-scope greenhouse gas inventories, and cross-basin comparative analysis, in order to continuously deepen the scientific understanding and policy support for carbon sustainable development in the Yellow River Basin.
