Few people would deny that the world runs on oil. Oil, regarded as the blood of industry, may cause economic crises, and even lead to conflicts and wars. Three applicable models and several feasible policies are presented to settle the problem. We devise the Irreversible Depletion Model, and use global statistics data in logistic regressions to predict the total ultimate oil recovery. Relying o...

Forests mitigate climate change by absorbing CO2. However, N2O emissions in forests, which has 298 times larger global warming potential than CO2, can diminish the mitigation role of forests. Thus, it is crucial to project not only CO2 absorption but also forests provide a scientific basis for 1.5 °C Paris Agreement goal. This study used biogeochemical model, called FBD-CAN, and South Korean fr...

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau has given birth to many indigenous highland plants due its special geographical location and sensitivity climate change. Relevantly, the impact of change on species distribution been a hot issue for research in biogeography. Using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model, spatial habitat suitability Fritillaria przewalskii Maxim. (FPM) Tibetan was predicted ranked by combining e...

A comprehensive assessment of the impacts of climate change on agro-ecosystems over this century is developed, up to 2080 and at a global level, albeit with significant regional detail. To this end an integrated ecological-economic modelling framework is employed, encompassing climate scenarios, agro-ecological zoning information, socio-economic drivers, as well as world food trade dynamics.
