We report a 24-month experiment in Palermo (Italy) on a long-sealed parking-lot Technosol where asphalt was removed and four surface treatments were compared: two unvegetated crushed-asphalt options and two vegetated soil-rehabilitation treatments with imported topsoil. We monitored steady-state Beerkan infiltration, soil cone penetrometer resistance, vegetation dynamics, CO₂ efflux, microbial loads and spectral properties relative to conditions one week after de-sealing (time 0). Immediately after asphalt removal, all plots showed extremely high infiltration, typical of structureless coarse rubble. By 18 months, steady-state infiltration had declined by 25–97% relative to the initial measurement and diverged among treatments: vegetated rehabilitation plots exhibited the strongest proportional reductions and longest run times, while unvegetated crushed-asphalt surfaces retained much higher infiltrability. Cone resistance in previously compacted sublayers fell by around an order of magnitude relative to pre-de-sealing values, approaching ranges favourable for root growth. Vegetation established more rapidly and densely in rehabilitated plots, which also showed higher microbial loads and CO₂ efflux than crushed-asphalt surfaces and sealed controls, indicating rapid reactivation of soil biological functioning. Surface albedo increased relative to asphalt as vegetation developed, suggesting co-benefits for local heat-stress mitigation.

While converting this slag into calcium oxide-based CO₂ adsorbents offers a promising valorization route, traditional thermal activation is often hindered by high energy requirements exceeding 800 °C and a reliance on chemical templates. To address these limitations, this study proposes an energy-efficient, zero-chemical microwave-assisted restructuring strategy for the sustainable valorization of carbide slag. By leveraging the dielectric response of the waste matrix, microwave irradiation triggers rapid volumetric dehydroxylation via an inside-out heating mode. This internal heating mechanism facilitates the development of a well-distributed mesoporous architecture while mitigating the premature surface sintering typically associated with conventional surface-to-core thermal gradients. Under optimized conditions at 500 °C for 30 min, the resulting microwave-modified adsorbent exhibited a CO₂ adsorption capacity of 11.30 mmol g⁻¹, representing a ∼104% increase compared to conventionally calcined slag. Kinetic analyses revealed that the microwave-engineered structure significantly lowers the carbonation activation energy from 11.94 to 7.67 kJ mol⁻¹, effectively extending the kinetically-controlled reaction stage. Furthermore, Density Functional Theory calculations, corroborated by quantitative XRD and HRTEM characterization, identified the CaO (200) crystal plane as the preferentially exposed and most reactive surface, with a calculated adsorption energy of −1.705 eV at the O-top site. These findings establish a pragmatic and low-carbon pathway for the large-scale industrial valorization of carbide slag, offering a synergistic solution for solid waste management and carbon capture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"407 ","pages":"Article 129835"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147831999","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 paper addresses that question through the concept of carbon welfare performance (CWP), defined as the welfare generated per unit of carbon emissions. We construct a welfare-oriented measure of CWP based on an improved Human Development Index and examine how government intervention affects it using panel data for 30 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2023. Our empirical strategy is designed to match the economic question. Because carbon welfare performance is shaped by regional interdependence, policy diffusion, and factor mobility, and because the effect of government intervention may be nonlinear, we estimate a Spatial Durbin Model with a quadratic specification. This approach allows us to identify both local and spillover effects while testing whether the role of government changes with intervention intensity. The results reveal a robust U-shaped relationship between government intervention and CWP. At lower levels, intervention is associated with lower carbon welfare performance, consistent with resource misallocation, administrative distortion, and weak spending efficiency. Beyond a threshold, however, intervention improves CWP by correcting environmental externalities, supporting public goods provision, and facilitating low-carbon structural transformation. Mechanism analysis shows that environmental expenditure is an important transmission channel, while the level of marketization significantly conditions the strength and timing of the relationship. We also find substantial spatial spillovers, indicating that local policy choices affect neighboring regions through competition, imitation, and factor mobility. The broader implication is that the welfare consequences of decarbonization depend not simply on how much governments intervene, but on whether intervention is institutionally effective, spatially coordinated, and compatible with market adjustment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"407 ","pages":"Article 129871"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147855661","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}

Consequently, developing eco-friendly microbial fertilizers as alternatives to chemical inputs has become a global consensus for promoting sustainable agriculture. To explore the underexplored potential and soil-modulating mechanisms of microalgae-based fertilizers, this study investigates their feasibility of microalgae-based fertilizers as CF substitutes for enhancing the yield and quality of peppers (<em>Capsicum annuum</em> L.). We compared the application effects of three types of microalgae-based fertilizers, namely total microalgal biomass (TMB), microalgal extracts (ME), and microalgae-bacteria consortia (MBC, supplemented with <em>Bacillus</em> spp.) under different fertilization regimes (sole- and co-application with reduced compound fertilizer) on plant traits and soil microbial communities. The results indicated that all three microalgal fertilizers significantly promoted seed germination, plant growth, and fruit yield. Notably, sole application of TMB exhibited the most prominent growth-promoting effects with an increase of 13%-37% compared to the CF treatment. The T2 treatment (substituting 40% of CF) achieved the highest pepper yield, representing a 72% increase over the CF control. Regarding soil properties, microalgal fertilizers effectively adjusted soil pH, lowered electrical conductivity and exhibited desirable slow-release fertilizer characteristics. In particular, TMB significantly increased soil organic matter content and maintained a stable supply of available phosphorus during the fruit-harvesting stage. Analysis of microbial community structure and function revealed that the application of microalgal fertilizers enriched various plant growth-promoting microbes, such as <em>Bacillus</em>, <em>Neurospora</em> and <em>Trichoderma</em>, which possess functions in nutrient mineralization or biocontrol. Concurrently, these treatments significantly enhanced the activities of soil enzymes (urease, phosphatase, and sucrase) and functional pathways related to carbon and nitrogen metabolism.

Herbivory theory predicts that repeated defoliation and trampling deplete seedling reserves, whereas resprouting can extend survival; yet field studies rarely separate intensity from recency or combine long-run grazing records with individual fates and microhabitat/climate context. We test how management-driven heterogeneity shapes cork oak seedling survival and resprouting by combining 12 years of paddock-level grazing records with individual tracking of 8431 seedlings across 24 paddocks. Bayesian mixed-effects survival models related seedling lifespan to grazing history × pressure (moderate ≤150; high &gt;150 LSU ha⁻¹ days yr⁻¹) and to key covariates, including seedling height, resprouting status, shrub distance, cattle dung counts (as a proxy of very recent grazing), and 1-month SPEI (as recent water balance). Bayesian logistic mixed models were then used to relate resprouting probability to grazing treatments. Survival was lower in grazed than ungrazed paddocks and declined along management gradients: median lifespan fell from 460 (moderate grazing) to 256 days (high), and from 460 (old grazing; two-year absence) to 199 days (recent). A two-year cattle absence increased survival under moderate pressure but was insufficient where pressure was high, indicating legacy effects and that recovery windows must scale with pressure. Resprouting dominated persistence: resprouters lived &gt;5 × longer than non-resprouters (2351 vs 460 days). Taller seedlings lived longer, and shrub proximity conferred a modest benefit. Climate modulated outcomes: wetter recent periods (higher SPEI) markedly boosted survival. Cattle reduced the odds of resprouting, with the strongest penalty under recent use. By disentangling grazing intensity from recency and linking both to seedling survival and resprouting, we show why recruitment falters under continuous, heavy grazing and when it can recover. Because drought intensifies cattle impacts, managers should combine moderate stocking rates with multi-year rest periods to rebuild oak bud banks and below-ground reserves; a two-year hiatus can help under moderate pressure but appears insufficient where pressure is high.

However, existing NbS frameworks rarely translate empirical findings into place-based typologies that directly support implementation decisions. This study examines the enabling and constraining conditions shaping mangrove restoration and conservation in Vietnam's Mekong and Red River deltas. Drawing on interviews, focus groups and questionnaires with multiple stakeholders, we develop a typological framework identifying systemic enablers and barriers across ecological, institutional and socio-economic dimensions. Enablers cluster around relational governance, livelihood incentives, learning systems, ecological fit, institutional coherence and resilience framing. Barriers include governance rigidities, funding and capacity constraints, weak social inclusion, technical-ecological challenges, external environmental pressures and fragmented coordination. Rather than reducing outcomes to binary assessments of “success” or “failure”, often measured through survival rates or area restored, the analysis frames them as emergent properties arising from interactions among ecological, socio-economic, technological, institutional and management processes. Building on international NbS standards, the typology is operationalised into a reflective-question checklist that translates the analytical framework into a practical decision-support tool. The checklist highlights flexible implementation pathways through three operational modes, allowing adaptation across Vietnam's provincial contexts. The findings indicate that long-term effectiveness depends on mutually reinforcing systems of governance legitimacy, ecological fit to local ecosystem dynamics and community engagement.
