Malaria not only remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, but it also impedes socioeconomic development, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Rapid and unprecedented urbanization, going hand-in-hand with often declining economies, might have profound implications for the epidemiology and control of malaria, as the relative disease burden increases among urban dwellers. Reviewing the l...

Urban expansion, particularly the movement of residential and commercial land use to sub-urban areas in metropolitan areas, has been considered as a significant signal of regional economic development. In 1970s, the economic centre of Canada moved from Montreal to Toronto. Since some previous research have been focused on the urbanization process in Greater Toronto Area (GTA), it is significant...

China has been undergoing a very rapid but unbalanced urbanization, characterized by under-urbanization of its population and faster urbanization of the land. In such a situation, the urbanization of the population and the land may produce different effects on the natural environment. In addition, due to substantial inter-regional differences, the influence of urbanization on the environment is...

The growth of agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) is seen as a driving force for the sustainable development agriculture. Meanwhile, promotion urbanization in China has exerted profound impact on production. This paper calculates TFP and analyzes effect urbanization. Firstly, DEA-Malmquist method used to calculate dynamic change from 2004 2016. Secondly, spatial spillover investigated ...

Although low-carbon economic growth has been emphasized in both the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals, this is first study to examine interplay between oil consumption, urbanization, India's GHG emissions from 1965 2021. A quantile regression analysis found that a one percent rise greenhouse gas linked 0.34 growth, 0.599 0.28 drop urbanization. Using Granger causality technique,...

With the increases of cropland area and fertilizer nitrogen (N) application rate, general N balance characteristics in regional agroecosystems have been widely documented. However, few studies have quantitatively analyzed the drivers of spatial changes in the N budget. We constructed a mass balance model of the N budget at the soil surface using a database of county-level agricultural statistic...
