Green finance consistently mitigates environmental degradation (coefficients: −0.054 to −0.618), underscoring its critical role in sustainable development. Remittances exhibit mixed effects, positively influencing the overall ecological footprint (0.957) but negatively affecting built-up land (−0.426).

Regarding the continuous flow column setup, neutralization was obtained by applying an empty bed contact time equal to 30 min. The heavy metal removal efficiency was mainly dependent on their solubility and experimental duration.

While research on the plural values of nature (i.e., intrinsic, instrumental, and relational) in PES contexts is beginning to emerge, there is still limited empirical research exploring how these values coexist and reinforce one another. This research therefore aims: i) to develop a classification framework for instrumental, relational, and intrinsic values in PES settings; and ii) to apply this framework to two PES programs in Cali, Colombia, to empirically examine how multiple values coexist and interact within these programs. We conducted 60 semi-structured interviews with both community-based and external expert actors, and used content and co-occurrence analysis to explore the ‘value fabric’—the complex and interwoven ways in which values are articulated in PES contexts. We found that relational values were the most frequently mentioned, with the most common co-occurrences observed between the instrumental value of monetary compensation and relational values such as stewardship, quality of life, and social cohesion. We argue that PES design should align with participatory and equity-based approaches that support stewards and their care-based practices. Analyzing values through a ‘value fabric’ lens further emphasizes the diverse and interconnected ways people relate to nature, enabling PES to foster more legitimate, just, and effective conservation outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"387 ","pages":"Article 125744"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144115979","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}

This study addresses two critical aspects: the reliability of TP measurement techniques and the influence of sludge composition on P solubilization during thermal hydrolysis (TH). First, the challenges associated with TP determination in untreated and post-TH sludge were evaluated. The Standards in Measurements and Testing (SMT) extraction protocol—a simple and widely used method often applied to biological sludges—was found to underestimate TP by up to 34 % in matrices such as post-TH sludge, compared to more robust digestion methods. While previous studies have reported qualitative discrepancies among extraction methods, this work quantifies the bias under TH conditions through a benchmark combining mass balance analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. Using the proposed methodology, results highlight the importance of selecting appropriate TP quantification methods tailored to sludge characteristics to ensure accurate recovery assessments. Second, the influence of biological sludge sources on P release during TH was evaluated using two sludge samples: one from a full-scale wastewater treatment plant (S1) and another from a lab-scale sequencing batch reactor (S2). Results showed significant differences in P release percentages. Soluble reactive P recovery exceeded 78 % in S2 but remained below 25 % in S1.
