Spatial zoning is a crucial tool for advancing sustainable land management in urban agglomerations. However, spatial zoning has become increasingly challenging due to the diversity associated with future land-use changes and the vulnerability of the ecological environment. This study applies a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) neural network model to emphasize the dual pivotal role of future land-use scenarios and resource-environment carrying capacity in optimizing sustainable land management zoning. Focusing on the CPUA in China, the study reveals several key findings: (1) Under the natural evolution scenario, the proportion of cultivated land decreases from 58.76 % to 55.58 %, resulting in a reduction of 9146 km<sup>2</sup>, while construction land expands from 14.72 % to 21.96 %, with an increase of 23,100 km<sup>2</sup> and an average annual growth rate of 1.17 %. (2) The resource-environment carrying capacity across the CPUA is generally low to medium, with an average index value of 35.28. Spatially, the surrounding areas concentrate higher carrying capacity, while the central regions exhibit lower values. The western, northern, and southern edge regions show relatively higher capacities. (3) Based on comprehensive assessments of land-use patterns, ecological quality, and resource-environment carrying capacity, the CPUA is divided into nine distinct sustainable land management zones. Each zone requires tailored strategies that consider its specific resource endowments, ecological conditions, agricultural productivity, and urban development potential. Coordinated infrastructure development and resource-sharing initiatives are essential for promoting sustainable land management throughout the urban agglomeration. The proposed zoning optimization strategy strikes a balance between urban development demands and resource-environment constraints, offering a practical framework for refining land management policies and advancing sustainable development goals in large urban agglomerations.</p>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"380 ","pages":"125173"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143750556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Mechanism analysis demonstrates that intelligent manufacturing promotes ESG performance improvements across all three dimensions-environmental, social, and governance. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the ESG enhancement effects of intelligent manufacturing are primarily observed in growth-stage enterprises and highly competitive industries. Further analysis identifies industry spillover effects of intelligent manufacturing on ESG performance, with these spillover effects concentrated in technology-intensive enterprises and regions with higher industrial agglomeration levels, providing corroborative evidence that industry spillover effects are realized through collaborative innovation mechanisms. By dissecting intelligent manufacturing models and technologies, this study finds that production-oriented intelligent manufacturing exhibits stronger ESG enhancement effects, with intelligent technologies playing a pivotal role in driving ESG improvements. Additionally, this paper offers clear policy implications for the promotion of the \"Intelligent Manufacturing Pilot\" initiative: (1) If corporate ESG performance is regarded as a critical policy evaluation metric, the \"Intelligent Manufacturing Pilot\" policy should be resolutely implemented while avoiding a \"one-size-fits-all\" approach. Priority should be given to growth-stage enterprises, firms in highly competitive industries, and the adoption of production-oriented intelligent manufacturing models, with emphasis on the instrumental role of intelligent technologies.

This study uses the upper Salween River (USR) basin as a case study, employs a high-resolution meteorological forcing dataset (TPMFD) to drive a physically based cryosphere-hydrology model (WEB-DHM-S), and quantifies the impacts of warming, wetting, glacier retreat, and vegetation greening on mountainous runoff through six sensitivity experiments. Sensitivity experiments revealed a slight but statistically insignificant downward trend (-1.5 mm yr<sup>-1</sup>) in USR annual runoff from 1981 to 2020, with contributions from rainfall, snowmelt, glacier-melt, and baseflow being 57.5 %, 14.6 %, 5.3 %, and 22.7 %, respectively. Under a warming scenario, total runoff (TR) decreased by 37.5 mm, driven by substantial increase in evapotranspiration. Conversely, under a wetting scenario, annual TR increased by 10.5 mm. After the glaciers in high mountain areas had vanished, the intense precipitation and steep terrain of former glacial areas contributed to substantial runoff generation (+61.7 mm). Vegetation greening resulted in a TR decrease of 9.2 mm. Synergistic changes in glaciers‒vegetation and climate‒glaciers‒vegetation resulted in annual runoff decreases of 67.7 and 97.2 mm, respectively. Climate change (warming and wetting) played the dominant role in changing TR (73.3 %), while glaciers and vegetation played a regulatory role (26.7 %).

Yet, how this approach affects the establishment of native plant communities remains to be elucidated. This is of great relevance as plants contribute to dune formation and stabilization and are particularly vulnerable to environmental stresses during their early establishment phase. In this study, we evaluated the effects of placing a layer of Posidonia oceanica wrack of different thickness (2, 4 or 8 cm) and composition (wrack without or with sand) on a Mediterranean embryo dune on (i) the survival of already established seedlings and (ii) the seed recruitment and performance of new seedlings. As models, we selected three common dune plants, Thinopyrum junceum, Euphorbia paralias, and Cakile maritima. Changes in elemental composition of wrack and its leachate during decomposition were also assessed. For all species, the thickest wrack layer decreased the survival of already established seedlings by up to 70 %. Regardless of thickness and composition, wrack reduced seed recruitment success. The thickest layer reduced the growth of T. junceum and E. paralias seedlings while increased that of C. maritima ones. Wrack released carbon and nutrients thorough leaching, and the release efficiency was the highest for phosphorus. These results indicate that covering dunes with wrack layers even few cm thick can impair their resilience by hindering plant colonization.

In this study, coupling high-resolution NAIP imagery with Microsoft building footprints, we examined tree cover change within a 10m buffer around buildings from 2010 to 2022 in Southern California's WUI.

Notably, very dense and dense clustered buildings, which dominated the study area, exhibited the highest level of tree cover increase. Furthermore, old buildings in proximity to new construction demonstrated a greater increase in tree cover compared to those not near new development.

Crusts were sampled in April and October from plots in the Gurbantunggut Desert, where nitrogen had been applied for 13 years, to assess nitrogen fixation, ammonia oxidation rates, and the functional microbial community structure. Results indicated nitrogen addition reduced nitrogen fixation, with the highest nitrogen addition (3.0 g N m<sup>2</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup>) causing a ∼60 % decline, suggesting a microbial shift towards reliance on added nitrogen. In contrast, low nitrogen addition (0.5 g N m<sup>-2</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup>) enhanced ammonia oxidation by 293 %, likely due to the alleviation of substrate limitations. However, higher nitrogen addition (N1.5, N3.0) led to a reduction in ammonia oxidation, with microorganisms such as Scytonema, Nitrososphaera, and Nitrosopumilus playing key roles in both processes. Notably, nitrogen fixation rates were generally lower during the dry season, while ammonia oxidation increased under N0 treatment.
