To study geometrical dimensions effect of the weir on the generated flow structure, here, experimental and numerical simulation analysis of the previous and present experimental studies was done on the flow around different geometric types of side weir. A triangular labyrinth side weir with three distinct included angles ( θ = 30 o , 45 o , and 60°) and three weir heights (P = 10, 15 and 20 cm) has been tested, in addition normal rectangular side weir for comparison. The volume of fluid (VOF) approach was used for tracking free-surface subcritical flow conditions at the centerline of the main channel and near side weir banks. Accurate results were discovered by employing the Renormalization Group (RNG k-∈ ) turbulence model with the experimental outcomes. The smallest inclusion angle of side weir, generates smaller width of vortices zone near the upstream side weir wall which obstacles only a smaller length of crest as compared to the larger inclusion angle that hindrances larger length of this side for flowing water. In addition the contribution portion of the surface flow for the smallest inclusion angle which is indicated by streamlines is about 0.66 times the main channel width. Moreover, the maximum width of separation zone at the downstream of the main channel reached to 0.8 times the width of the main channel for the triangular labyrinth side weir. The stagnation point exists at the downstream end of side weir results the increase of surface elevation to reach maximum level. The coefficient of discharge of such weirs were 3.8, 2.7 and 2.12 times the coefficient of the normal rectangular side weir for θ = 30 o , 45 o and 60°, respectively.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"842 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139204933","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 present study has used the Malmquist-Luenberger Index (MLI) to estimate the environmental efficiency of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region for the period 1990 to 2019. The estimated results showed that the environmental efficiency of APAC countries declined by 0.36%, on average, in the studied period. The results also highlighted that the Republic of Korea has the highest total factor productivity (TFP) output growth rate in the APAC region. In contrast, Lao People’s DR and the Maldives have the lowest TFP. Conditional, unconditional, and Club convergence tests are also tested for the APAC region. The results also suggested that convergence in environmental efficiency is conditional on trade openness, industrial growth, and energy prices.

This research innovatively introduces green cognition into the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to validate the effect of green cognition on farmers’ low-carbon production behavior. In this research, we use structural equation model (SEM) to research the low-carbon production behavior of 265 farmers in Yilan County, Harbin City, China. Our results indicate that farmers’ perceived behavioral control (PBC) has a remarkable impact in generating their low-carbon production intention, while attitude (ATT) and subjective norms (SN) have no significant positive impact. Meanwhile, it is verified that the perceived behavioral control and behavioral intention (INT) of farmers have a significant positive impact on their low-carbon production behavior. In addition, the research also verifies that green cognition (GC) has a significant positive impact on farmers’ attitudes and subjective norms of low-carbon production behavior, and green cognition may indirectly affect low-carbon production behavior through farmers’ subjective norms and intention pathways, reflecting that the extended theoretical framework of planned behavior is applicable to the research of farmers’ low-carbon production behavior.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"31 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139206209","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}

Ambrosia artemisiifolia and Ailanthus altissima , two invasive species, were selected as target species. These species have large potential distributions. In addition, studies indicate that their distribution is increasing rapidly. Therefore, it poses a threat to both human health and biodiversity. In the present study, a significant difference was found between the predictive values obtained with different resolutions for both species. It was also observed that the model with the highest AUC values was obtained with bioclimatic variables that have 10 arc minutes resolution for both species. The AUC values showed that the models had excellent explanatory power. Finally, potential suitable areas covering almost all of Europe were identified for the two invasive species. It is thought that these species may pose a serious threat in terms of both biodiversity and human health if careful attention is not exercised in the planning.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"16 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139205495","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}

Based on field experiments and the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, a comprehensive carbon footprint assessment of rice monoculture, rice-shrimp co-cropping, and rice-crab co-cropping models was conducted in this study, and the NEEB of different rice farming models was calculated based on the economic benefits. The carbon footprints per unit area of rice monoculture, rice-shrimp co-cropping, and rice-crab co-cropping models were 14122.65 kg (CO 2 -eq)·hm -2 , 13791.78 kg (CO 2 -eq)·hm -2 , and 15617.13 kg (CO 2 -eq)·hm -2 , respectively, according to the data. Hotspot analysis revealed that the carbon footprint composition of the rice-shrimp and rice-crab co-cropping models was influenced more by CH 4 emissions, energy use, and feed inputs. Due to the greater economic production values of rice-shrimp and rice-crab co-cropping modes, the NEEB of these two modes increased by 81.45% and 69.52%, respectively, as compared to rice monoculture. Overall, rice-shrimp and rice-crab co-cropping models can reduce emissions and improve paddy field efficiency to some extent when compared to rice monoculture and rice-crab co-cropping models, but attention should be paid to the point of trade-off between carbon footprints and economic benefits in order to promote the green and efficient development of the rice-fishery co-cropping model. The technique utilized in this work can give technical assistance for a more thorough carbon footprint assessment of multifunctional agricultural production systems.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139228687","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}

Fertilisation with digestate was the tested factor, with a focus on its influence on selected energy plants. Sucrosorgo sorghum and Atletico maize were analysed. During the research, the pots were placed in a vegetation hall. The research proved that the use of digestate-based fertiliser improves the productivity of both sorghum and maize, but only with an additional dose of basic macronutrients. The optimal variant is a fertiliser dose of 20 g enriched with 1.0 NPK. Increasing the dose to 30 g and 1.5 NPK generally did not result in a significant increase in plant height or in fresh and dry weights.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139228770","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}
