Integrated assessment of carbon sequestration, air-pollution mitigation, and BVOC-induced atmospheric trade-offs of urban trees in a semi-arid industrial city

Implications for Urban Greening and Preliminary Functional Classification: A Review of BVOC Emissions and Tree Carbon Sequestration in China

Urban trees have a vital role in climate mitigation by enhancing air quality, providing thermal comfort, promoting biodiversity, and improving human well-being, thereby aiding in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 3, 11, 13, and 15. Nevertheless, in particular environmental circumstances, their release of...

Assessment of net primary productivity in urban open green spaces using the CASA model under climate change scenarios: The case of Adana, Türkiye

Urban areas are major sources of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gas emissions due to high population density, land-use transformation, and intensive human activities, whereas urban open green spaces support climate change mitigation through vegetation productivity and ecosystem services. This study assesses...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of urbanisation induced environmental quality in arid city using a grid-based analysis in Jodhpur India from 2001 to 2021

Rapid urbanisation in arid regions intensifies heat exposure, vegetation loss, and particulate pollution, yet medium-sized desert cities remain underrepresented in integrated environmental assessments. We quantified spatiotemporal changes in environmental quality in Jodhpur, India, from 2001 to 2021 using a novel grid-...

Inventory-Based Co-Control Screening of Air Pollutants and Greenhouse Gases in a Typical Yangtze River Delta City

While integrating greenhouse gas and air pollutant (AP) mitigation is essential for urban sustainability and public health, municipal-level prioritisation of co-control targets remains hindered by fragmented microdata and decoupled emission inventories. Using Jiaxing—a typical industrialised city in the Yangtze River D...

Surface thermal dynamics and air quality stressors in a rapidly urbanising semi-arid city: a multi-sensor satellite assessment of Greater Irbid, Jordan (2000–2025)

Region-Specific Pathways for Synergistic Air Pollution and Carbon Mitigation in an Energy-Intensive Region

Rapid urbanization and industrial expansion in energy-intensive regions continue to hinder the simultaneous mitigation of air pollutants and CO2 emissions, yet effective synergistic mitigation pathways remain poorly understood because highly industrialized border regions exhibit distinct emission structures and spatial...
