Abstract:
... The expansion of the edible fungi industry has resulted in the production of large amounts of edible fungus residues, causing great pressure on environmental protection.Therefore, research on edible fungus residue utilization has become a controversial issue. Thus far, numerous efforts have been devoted to separate active substances from edible fungus substrates and residues for high application v ...

Abstract:
... Due to its strategic position and direct relationship with multiple stakeholders, the HoReCa sector can be a crucial node for the promotion of sustainability in the agri-food chain. However, the sector is currently responsible for a high environmental, social, and economic load. A recent response to these impacts is the diffusion of initiatives that assess and promote sustainable practices at the ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the complex relationships of tradeoffs and synergies among ecosystem services (ESs) is essential to achieve a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development for human well-being. However, the quantitative measurement for the properties and intensities within these relationships as well as the deeper exploration of its formation mechanism from a spatial-explicit perspective i ...

Abstract:
... Hydrogen is seen as the future energy that will help decarbonise the emissions of global energy use. Hydrogen-related technologies have recently attracted considerable attention due to their relatively low emissions and high energy yield. Even then, little attention was given to hydrogen's use in energy distribution networks. A renewable-based multi-energy system (RMES) considers power, cooling, h ...

Abstract:
... Cattle ranching has increased globally in the last decades, and although pasture expansion is well documented across different regions, there is little understanding of the intensity at which cattle operate in these areas. With freely available Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, we mapped for the first time polyethylene silage bags used for forage conservation in a year with the Random Forest algorithm ...

Abstract:
... Evaluating the embodied environmental impact of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has been an important topic in addressing the sustainable development of renewable energy. While monetization of environmental externality is a remaining issue, which should be carried out in order to allow for an easy-to-understand comparison between direct economic and external cost. In this study, the environment ...

Abstract:
... Red mud, as a solid waste produced during the alumina production, can cause severe eco-environmental pollution and health risks to human. Therefore, the resourcing of this type of solid waste is an effective way for the sustainable development. This paper reviews the recent progress on red mud-based catalysts for the removal of typical air pollutants, such as the catalytic reduction of nitrogen ox ...
... Nitrogen and phosphorus contamination in wastewater is a serious environmental concern and poses a global threat to sustainable development. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the studies on simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal (SNPR) during 1986–2022 (538 publications) was conducted using bibliometrics, which showed that simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus re ...

Abstract:
... A better understanding of bacterial communities and metabolomic responses to pristine zinc oxide manufacture nanoparticles (ZnO MNPs) and its sulfidized product (s-ZnO MNPs), as well as their corresponding Zn ions in rhizocompartments, critical in the plant-microbe interactions, could contribute to the sustainable development of nano-enabled agriculture. In this study, soybean (Glycine max) were c ...
... Organic wastes, fertilizers, organominerals, and minerals contain nutrients essential to crops and contribute to increase productivity. However their use can also lead to the accumulation of copper and zinc, which changes the distribution of their fractions and enhances the risk of toxicity to plants and the environment, thereby working against the sustainable development goals. However, the effec ...

Abstract:
... Cement and other traditional materials are frequently used to improve the properties of soil in the Yellow River Basin, the ecological environment has become severely polluted. To promote the environmental protection strategy of sustainable development, environmentally friendly biopolymers were used to treat typical silt samples collected from the Yellow River Basin. The water retention characteri ...
... Sustainable development and environmental issues related to ports and sea trade have highlighted the need to enhance transport and trade systems to include green practices, such as the realisation of dry ports. However, among the current studies investigating dry ports’ implications, only few papers explore their environmental impacts. Moreover, these latter papers approach the argument in a gener ...
... It is considered to be crucial for firms to incorporate the notion of sustainability in their business to achieve success in today's ever-changing commercial world. Hence, it is essential that students' awareness of sustainability and related actions is enhanced by embedding this notion in the curriculum in 21st century business education. Guidelines for developing a sustainability-based curriculu ...
... Sustainable improvement is related to several key variables that count as solid and secure positions. Currently, the group of hazardous substances and inappropriate soils has created one of the most important issues of insecurity against masculinity. Consequently, unsafe substances and hazardous products have been unusually monitored by various countries. Although the safe evacuation of hazardous ...
... This study presents a typology of nature-based solutions (NbS), addressing the need for a standardized source of definitions and nomenclature, and to facilitate communication in this interdisciplinary field of theory and practice. Growing usage of the umbrella phrase ‘nature-based solutions’ has led to a broad inclusion of terms. With the diversity of terminology used, the full potential of NbS ma ...

... With the establishment of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), countries worldwide agreed to a prosperous, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable future for all. This ambition, however, exposes a critical gap in science-based insights, namely on how to achieve the 17 SDGs simultaneously. Quantitative goal-seeking scenario studies could help explore the needed systems' transformat ...
... Neighborhood regeneration (NR) has been recognized as a sound approach to deal with urban decay, improve citizens’ well-beings, and promote urban sustainability. Promoting NR and improving its performance is a global topic. In China, massive subsidies have been provided to stimulate NR projects. However, whether these subsidies effectively contribute to NR implementation by considering sustainabil ...
... The oceans face a range of complex challenges for which the impacts on society are highly uncertain but mostly negative. Tackling these challenges is testing society’s capacity to mobilise transformative action, engendering a sense of powerlessness. Envisaging positive but realistic visions of the future, and considering how current knowledge, resources, and technology could be used to achieve the ...
