This study uses panel data on trade and carbon emissions between China and 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies from 1991 to 2021, applying a fixed-effects model to analyze changes in embodied carbon emissions. The focus is on China, the largest developing country, as it participates in the APEC regional value chain (RVC) in different ways. It is confirmed that China is leveraging RVCs to achieve industrial transformation from the perspective of value added. Subsequently, indicators for forward and backward participation in RVCs are constructed, recalculating their impacts on carbon emissions in terms of scale, structure, and technology. The results indicate that China's forward participation exhibits a \"U-shaped\" relationship with trade-related embodied carbon emissions, while backward participation demonstrates a negative correlation. Industrial heterogeneity analysis further highlights distinct impacts across high-tech, low-tech, pollution-intensive, and nonpollution-intensive sectors. Furthermore, scale effects, structural effects, and technological effects represent distinct pathways influencing trade-related carbon emissions. These findings can assist developing countries in advancing sustainable development and achieving carbon peak goals.","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":"952-964"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144014399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The water footprint measures freshwater use for activities, taking into account water consumption and pollution contamination by classifying consumed water into groundwater and surface water (blue water), rainwater (green water), and polluted water (grey water). This study aims to identify a comprehensive WF inventory analysis for a denim washing company and assess the grey WF based on the effluent concentration of pollution indicators (chemical oxygen demand [COD], suspended solids [SS], ammonium nitrogen [NH4-N], and phenol) measured monthly in 2021. The company used well water for its operations, which constituted 61.79% of the total water use of the facility; water used by the company by reverse osmosis (RO) accounted for 37.60% of total water consumption, and rainwater made up 0.61% of the volume of water used overall. The grey water footprints of COD, SS, NH4-N, and phenol were calculated as 59,981.53 m3, 31,747.21 m3, 10,514 m3, and 48,190 m3, respectively. The results illustrate that the COD, which accounted for 40% of the pollutants, had the highest grey WF in the company, corresponding to the amount of freshwater required to assimilate pollutants to meet water quality standards. In addition, the effect of the RO system on the blue WF of this company was analyzed by considering two different scenarios. Reverse osmosis considerably affected the blue WF, accounting for over 37% of this company's water use. It suggests that a wastewater treatment plant using RO is an ideal option for recovering water. The main contributions of this study are comprehensively assessing the water footprint components of the denim washing company and understanding sector-specific water footprint at the organization level.","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":"823-832"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143023259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Setiu Wetland is the largest natural wetland in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The enabling environment for the adoption of MSP in Setiu Wetland is explored to foresee potential in managing the wetland's conflicting uses. Located in Terengganu, the wetland provides various ecosystem services to humans, birds, reptiles, mammals, invertebrates, and bivalves. The Setiu Wetland's coastal and marine natural ecosystems provide various benefits to the well-being of the population there. However, the human population growth in Setiu Wetland and the surrounding areas is increasingly contributing to the natural resource exploitation in this ecologically sensitive area, causing detrimental effects to the wetland ecosystem. This article aims to review the threats to the ecosystems in Setiu Wetland from multiple development activities and existing uses to examine the potential implementation of MSP in managing the wetland as an ecologically sensitive area. In conclusion, this study proposes the adoption of MSP as the best management process to protect the natural habitat and preserve the ecological functions of the wetland without compromising the local communities' livelihood.","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":"761-770"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143398322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These benefits, collectively termed ecosystem services, are essential for human survival, particularly in densely populated urban areas. However, wetlands often face neglect due to a lack of awareness among citizens and governments regarding their significance. We assessed the ecosystem services offered by the wetlands of Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities, and elucidate the spatial scales wherein these services are delivered. Field visits, personal observations, and interviews based on the rapid assessment of wetland ecosystem services (RAWES) approach were used to evaluate 27 ecosystem services across 12 wetlands. The ecosystem services of water regulation and local climate regulation had high positive count value, inferring highly beneficial contributions to human well-being, whereas pest regulation and regulation of human disease had negative count value indicating an adverse impact on human well-being, primarily due to the polluted state of the city's wetlands. Supporting services with an ecosystem services index (ESI) of 0.55 made a substantial positive impact on human well-being, whereas provisioning services made minimal contributions (ESI = 0.12). The analysis of the spatial scale of ecosystem service benefits indicated that the distribution of ecosystem services is highly Varanasi-centric. To provide a comprehensive representation of both the importance scale and the spatial scale of benefit, the Spatial ESI was developed. Cultural services scored the highest Spatial ESI of 0.17 and provisioning services have the lowest Spatial ESI (0.03).","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":"784-797"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rivers have been the major pathways for MPs present in the oceans, which significantly affects the marine environment. In this study, water samples were collected from the upper stream and downstream of the Damanganga and Tapi rivers across different sites in the state of Gujarat, India, for exploration of MP contamination. Additionally, samples were collected from Dumas Beach to detect the presence of MPs. Microplastics were extracted from the samples through sieving, density separation, and wet peroxide oxidation techniques, and were subsequently analyzed using μ-FTIR (micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), optical microscopy, pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GCMS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The concentration of MPs was also quantified from each stretch of the Damanganga and Tapi rivers as well as Dumas Beach. Findings revealed that the Damanganga showed a higher concentration (3.53 particles/L) of MPs compared with the others. Further, optical microscopy and μ-FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of MPs such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Pyrolysis products of PP, PS, and polyamide (PA) were detected from Py-GCMS studies. Additionally, SEM images revealed that MPs were subjected to weathering, oxidation, and atmospheric deposition over the years. The study additionally confirmed the flux of MPs in both rivers and the beach due to anthropogenic and industrial effects. Risk assessment of MPs was performed using the pollutant loading index (PLI), which indicated that the overall MP pollution in the studied sites was marginal. Nevertheless, the PLI scores revealed that Damanganga was the most prone to MP pollution among the three study sites.","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":"843-857"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143038279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was commissioned and funded by the German Environmental Agency (Umweltbundesamt). A publication by Liess and co-authors in 2021 concluded that 83% of agricultural streams included in the monitoring study were in an unacceptable ecological condition. This conclusion was based on a comparison of benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) communities between reference and agricultural sites. The authors observed a decline in vulnerable BMI species, which they attributed to agricultural nonpoint source pollution by pesticides. We conducted an extensive re-analysis of the raw data and found that many of the study results were not reproducible because of a lack of detailed reporting of data processing methods. Other data processing steps and decisions by the authors lacked supporting rationales. Further, we found that the indicators of pesticide pressure for some stream sections were derived from samples taken after BMI communities had been sampled and are therefore not indicative of a causal relationship between pesticide pressure and community status. We recommend that the original dataset be filtered to include only stream sections with complete and temporally consistent data for both pesticide and macroinvertebrate sampling. This approach would enhance the transparency of the analysis and enable the scientific community to better assess the evidence supporting the authors' conclusions regarding the dominant stressors affecting BMI community structure in German lowland streams. Although the KGM dataset provides valuable insights into the status of small streams in agricultural landscapes, a more rigorous data selection and statistical analysis process is needed to derive robust and scientifically defensible findings for environmental management.","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":"739-744"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143673779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this exercise is to investigate the practicability and adaptability of PWC within the framework of a tiered risk assessment approach in Brazil. The PWC PECSOIL values were compared with two soil residue kinetics models: the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive (HES) PECSOIL Calculator and ESCAPE. As a validation step, PWC PECSOIL estimates were compared with measured soil residue data from two Brazilian locations. The impact of location-specific local data-soil physical-chemical properties, meteorological data, application methods, and crop parameters-on PECSOIL is also discussed, especially parameters that are inherent to PWC but absent in other soil kinetics calculators.

To examine the effects of climate change on species distribution and habitat suitability, researchers have widely used species distribution models (SDMs). This study specifically investigated Zataria multiflora, a valuable medicinal plant found in Iranian rangelands. The aim was to identify the critical factors influencing the distribution of Z. multiflora and assess how climate change may affect its range. We utilized the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt), incorporating eight environmental variables: maximum temperature of the warmest month, minimum temperature of the coldest month, annual temperature range, precipitation of the driest quarter, precipitation of the coldest quarter, depth to bedrock, slope, and solar radiation. The results indicated that solar radiation, slope, precipitation during the warmest quarter (bio17), and maximum temperature of the warmest month (bio5) were the most significant factors affecting the species' distribution. Projections suggest a potential decrease in the species' range by 43.98%, 51.60%, 54.20%, and 68.10% under representative concentration pathways 4.5-2050, 8.5-2050, 4.5-2070, and 8.5-2070, respectively. These insights can assist decision-makers in developing effective conservation strategies to protect and sustainably manage Z. multiflora in light of global climate change. Given the expected habitat loss, in situ conservation efforts should be prioritized for the protection of Z. multiflora.","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":"771-783"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144093509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
