This review synthesizes the research status, methods, and key findings in the field. It outlines the research status by categorizing studies into human, natural and comprehensive disturbance assessments by disturbance events. A basic framework for future research is established by summarizing assessment procedures and methods. Comparisons of the magnitude of losses and analyses of driving factors in existing studies have been discussed, and recommendations for future research directions have been proposed. Research indicates that since 2010, studies related to this topic have gradually increased, with a predominant focus on the losses caused by human disturbance. Regulatory services are the most frequently assessed type. Most results suggest that the magnitude of losses varies across different types of ecosystem services, ecosystems, and stages of ecosystem degradation. The regularity of these losses remains to be explored. Land use and climate change are two major driving factors, and distinguishing between their impacts is crucial. Therefore, future research should enhance assessments at multiple scales, promote more accurate assessments from aspects of data acquisition and evaluation methods, and deepen the exploration of loss regularity and drivers. This review fills the gap in systematic understanding of ecosystem service losses, offering a comprehensive reference for further research and the establishment of standards for ecological restoration and compensation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34479,"journal":{"name":"Resources Environment and Sustainability","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100194"},"PeriodicalIF":12.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143429021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key methodological challenges include setting the scale, scope, and resolution of a nexus analysis, as well as adequately representing the quantity and quality of resource interactions. Additionally, determining the degree of collaborative governance for resource management, accounting for the role of existing policies, and developing robust scenarios for future predictions are also crucial constraints. To address these limitations, we developed a conceptual model of the resources nexus for Otta valley in Norway, an area characterized by resource use trade-offs across interconnected systems. We introduced the concept of “resource scapes” which is the physical availability, key interactions, management networks, and policies governing a resource at a specific time and place. We defined resource scapes for water, energy, and biomass resources in the studied area. Employing stock and flow loops, social network analysis, material flow accounting, and policy reviews, we developed the model in a layered topology using the coupled component modeling approach. In addition, we developed future resource scenarios nested within national pathways – the Norwegian nexus pathways (NNPs) – aligned with the five globally adopted shared-socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), using a narrative downscaling approach. Our results show that annual variations in resource balances are connected to changing externalities. A low Network External-Internal (EI) index (0.392) indicates weak overall collaborative governance of nexus resources. Our modeling framework (1) addresses limitations in current nexus methods, (2) facilitates testing of alternative policy interventions under future scenarios, and (3) provides a framework for development of integrated assessment models. This approach merges the concept of nexus governance with integrated assessment modeling, thereby enhancing the application of nexus approach for efficient resource management which will be crucial in future as climate and socioeconomic conditions evolve.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34479,"journal":{"name":"Resources Environment and Sustainability","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100199"},"PeriodicalIF":12.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study integrates the multidimensional attributes of LUSC, constructs a LUSC assessment framework based on “element- pattern-effect”, and proposes theoretical hypotheses on the dynamic mechanism of LUSC. Taking Xintai City, a typical mining city in China, as an example, we analyzed the characteristics of LUSC evolution from 2000 to 2020 and explored the impact mechanism of LUSC by using the SEM model. Results show that the high risk of LUSC in mining cities is clustered in mining-city intertwined zones, and the growth rate of LUSC risk increases significantly with the transition period. The dynamic mechanisms of LUSC in mining cities are mutually driven by natural and anthropogenic factors and are dominated by anthropogenic factors. On the impact pathway, ecological environment, socio-economic environment, and resource extraction have stable and significant direct effects on LUSC. With improvements in technology and policy, the constraints on land use imposed by the natural environment have gradually decreased, and the impacts on LUSC are mostly indirect.

LightGBM with Shapley additive explanations models are introduced to uncover key factors influencing public sentiment. This approach was applied to analyze media attention and public sentiment on five categories of water issues across 12 mineral types and 511 mines from 2016 to 2023. Our findings show a 40% increase in water-related events linked to ETM mining since 2020. Regions such as East and Southeast Asia, and Central and South America exhibit rising but negative sentiment, while public discontent in Southern Africa remains consistently high. Cobalt, platinum, and vanadium have the most negative sentiment, particularly concerning water quality and pollution. Manganese shows the most negative sentiment due to concerns over drought and desertification. Model results indicate that the Goldstein scale of events, which reflects the magnitude of cooperation or conflict, was the most influential factor in shaping public sentiment. Precipitation has a significant positive impact on sentiment in drought- and flood-related events, while higher runoff improved sentiment in drought events but negatively affected flood- and water quality-related events. Socio-economic factors, such as educational expenditure and unemployment rates, also demonstrated varied effects across categories.

However, industry forecasts indicate that if large quantities of waste lithium-ion batteries are not managed properly, it could lead to serious environmental pollution issues as these batteries reach the end of their life cycle. Therefore, developing highly efficient and environmentally friendly recycling technologies is urgently needed. This paper proposes a green and efficient selective lithium extraction process integrating leaching technology with electrochemical methods. This approach enables the separation of Li and FePO₄ within an electrolyte through electric field assistance while effectively minimizing waste liquid generation. The effects of various factors on Li and Fe’s leaching rates were investigated using orthogonal and single factor experiments. Under optimal conditions, the leaching rate of Li reached 98.85%, while that for Fe was only 0.22%, resulting in a selectivity ratio (Li/Fe) of 99.78%, which demonstrates successful selective extraction of lithium. Furthermore, we assessed the feasibility of this experiment through potentiometric-pH diagrams. We elucidated its mechanism using XPS, XRD, and SEM. Unlike conventional destructive leaching methods, the Li extraction process facilitated by the electric-field-induced assistance resembles the charging process of LiFePO₄ batteries. Ultimately, Li was recovered as Li₂CO₃, while Fe and P present in the slag were subsequently retrieved as FePO₄ with battery-grade purity through a hydrothermal method.

Due to the complicated mechanisms of interactions between active fires and GHG emissions, the size, distribution, and changes of GHG emissions from active fires contributions exist wide differences. The contributions of active fires to GHG emissions and their discrepancies as well as driving mechanisms at the global scale remain poorly understood systematically. Here, we combine GHG emission, active fires, land cover, temperature, and population products (2003–2021) to quantificat the spatio-temporal features of fires-induced GHG emissions and possible drivers. Although the proportions of GHG emissions from active fires showed a descending tendency with fluctuation, the annually totality almost kept increasing since 2003. Among total 9.71 × 10⁵ million tons GHG emissions, active fires released approximately 20% (1.85 × 10⁵ million tons), and shows significant regional variability. Land cover, temperature, and population jointly regulated global disproportionate contributions of active fires in GHG emissions. Most areas, where GHG emissions from active fires obviously exceeded that from fossil and bio fuels combustion, were sparsely populated. Over 43% of GHG emission contributions from active fires were counted in Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kazakhstan, Mainland of Southeast Asia, and Australia.
