If anyone can attempt this with census data on car ownership and commuting patterns, it would certainly be an interesting contribution to showing how walkable neighborhoods have reduced carbon footprint. Walkscore is self-admittedly not perfect. It only uses an "as the crow flies" distance ...
Pollutant pricing mechanisms:As summarized in Hombach and Sellhorn (2022), accounting issues related to pollutant pricing mechanisms such as carbon emissions trading schemes pertain to the resources and obligations arising from such schemes, especially where emission allowances are received free of charge...
In this context, to control a vector-borne bacterium asX. fastidiosa,the prerequisite for an efficient BM strategy is knowledge regarding the exogenous and endogenous factors governing the vector’s host plant selection, which can be divided into host finding (thus, orientation and landing) and ...
Vegetation plays an important role in terrestrial ecosystems as a link between solar energy and bioenergy, influencing the climate, water cycle, and carbon cycle [1]. Studies related to vegetation-cover changes have attracted significant research attention in several fields [2]. Different vegetation ...
