From January to June 2023, the pollution characteristics, source apportionment, and ozone formation potential（OFP）of VOCs were studied, and the results of a comparative analysis were also discussed between heating and non-heating periods. The results indicated that VOC concentrations from January to June 2023 were （104.21 ± 91.31） μg·m^-3 on average. The concentrations of TVOCs under the influence of southerly and northerly winds were （214.18 ± 202.37） μg·m^-3 and （197.56 ± 188.3） μg·m^-3, respectively. Alkanes were the species with the highest average concentration and proportion, respectively （45.53 ± 41.43） μg·m^-3. The VOC concentration during the heating period was higher than those during the non-heating period, with values of （111.57 ± 83.96） μg·m^-3 and （87.92 ± 75.03） μg·m^-3, respectively. Propane and ethane were the species with the highest average concentration during the heating period. Compared with those in the non-heating period, the average concentrations of three species （propane, ethane, and n-butane） in the top ten species increased during the heating period, with average concentrations increasing by 51.94%, 54.64%, and 26.32%, respectively. The source apportionment results based on the positive matrix factorization （PMF） model indicated that the major sources of VOCs in the park during the monitoring period were printing emission sources （4.95%）, oil and gas evaporation sources （9.52%）, fuel combustion sources （15.44%）, traffic emissions sources （18.97%）, electronic equipment manufacturing （24.59%）, and industrial painting sources （26.52%）. Therefore, industrial painting sources, electronic equipment manufacturing sources, and traffic emissions sources were the emission sources that the park should focus on controlling. Compared with those during non-heating periods； industrial painting, traffic emission, and fuel combustion sources contributed more during the heating period, with VOC concentrations increasing by 15.02%, 16.53%, and 24.98%, respectively. The average OFP of VOCs from May to June during the monitoring period was 198.51 μg·m^-3 and OVOCs, olefins, and aromatic hydrocarbons contributed the most to OFP, which were 47.41%, 22.15%, and 18.41%, respectively.

The spatio-temporal evolution and driving factors of the ecological environment quality in this area must be explored for promoting the transformation of coal-based cities. Based on Landsat data of the Google earth engine （GEE） platform, this study constructed a new remote sensing-based ecological index （RSEInew） for the Fengfeng mining area from 2000 to 2020. The spatial and temporal evolution of RSEInew and its driving factors were evaluated by using trend analysis and geographic detector methods. The results showed that： ① From 2000 to 2020, the RSEInew of the Fengfeng mining area presented a fluctuating increasing trend （trend = 0.002 2）, and the proportion of good and excellent ecological environmental quality showed an increasing trend, rising from 24.80% in 2000 to 65.54% in 2020. ② The change in the RSEInew grade indicated that the proportion of significant improvement （3 and 4） of ecological environment quality grade in the Fengfeng Mining area from 2000 to 2020 was 10.21%, which was mainly distributed in Hexun town and Yijing town in the northwest of the Fengfeng mining area.

In this study, 1990, before the implementation of the project, was selected as the starting year of the research period, and 2020, after the implementation of the two rounds of the project, was selected as the end year of the research period.

The coupling coordination levels among territorial space functions was measured using the coupling coordination degree model and spatial autocorrelation analysis. Moreover, the multi-dimensional function conflict identification model was used to diagnose the type and intensity of function conflicts. The results showed that： ① The urban function was mainly improved, accounting for 75.67%. The grids with high function evaluation index were mainly located in the south of the study area, whereas the intensity of urban function improvement in the north was higher than that in the south. Otherwise, the agricultural and ecological functions were mainly reduced, accounting for 77.44 % and 57.66%, respectively, and the majority of grids with a significant decrease were distributed in the south of Poyang Lake. ② From 2010 to 2020, the coupling coordination type was dominated by an imbalance recession, accounting for 53.87% and 49.89 %, respectively. However, the number of grids with crucial imbalance and primary coordination was reduced, and the coupling coordination types tended to change from both ends to the middle. The coupling coordination hot spots were mainly concentrated in the southern plain, whereas the cold spots were mainly distributed in the northern mountainous and hilly areas, both of which showed a reducing trend. However, in the north of Poyang Lake, a small number of hot spots, distributed along the lake area with relatively flat terrain, showed an expanding trend. ③ The intensity of four territorial space function conflicts was mainly moderate or severe. In addition to the slight positive trend of 'urban-agricultural' function conflict, the function conflicts of \"urban-ecological\", \"agricultural-ecological\", and \"urban-agricultural-ecological\" were all aggravated. The grids with aggravating conflicts were mainly distributed in the Ganjiang River and Fuhe River Basin. The major reason for the aggravation was that the urban function increased obviously, whereas the ecological and agricultural functions decreased significantly. In conclusion, in both the coupling coordination types and multi-dimensional conflicts among territorial space functions, significant spatial differences existed； thus, proposing optimization strategies according to local conditions is necessary. Additionally, the protection of ecological and agricultural spaces during","PeriodicalId":35937,"journal":{"name":"Huanjing Kexue/Environmental Science","volume":"45 10","pages":"5868-5879"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142509624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
