An Agricultural Sector Model is used to determine the economic potential of agricultural greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies within hypothetical emission mitigation markets. For a complete set of agricultural land management decisions, emissions and emission reductions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are accounted for and simultaneously subjected to a wide range of carbon...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) using double-pulse irradiation with Nd:YAG and CO(2) lasers was applied to the analysis of a polystyrene film on a silicon substrate. An enhanced emission signal, compared to single-pulse LIBS using a Nd:YAG laser, was observed from atomic carbon, as well as enhanced molecular emission from C(2) and CN. This double-pulse technique was further applied ...

As the global climate warming, "haze" weather frequent, low-carbon economy research caused extensive concern of the academia, In this paper, we use panel data of 5 cites in China Guangxi province over the period 2000 to 2008, and construct a systematic model which concludes the factors of FDI technology of carbon emissions and carbon emission intensity. In addition, we refinement the relevant d...

The evaluation of the cost of reduction for the different region and the resulting emission permit prices is a typical model application. The usual approach to analyze emission trading is to obtain marginal emission reduction cost curves from the models and subsequently carry out a static, expost analysis of emission trading based on these cost curves. The drawback of this approach is that effe...

Issues concerning which factors that influence carbon dioxide emission, and which administrative measures should be imposed to reduce carbon emission in Chinese cities, have been on the agenda in cities’ policy-making. Yet little literature has studied this topic from the city level. This paper first measures CO2 emission of 73 Chinese cities. We find heterogeneity embedded in the cross-city di...

As the major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, cities have been under tremendous pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction for decades. Community is the main unit of urban housing, public facilities, transportation, and other properties of city's land use. The construction of low-carbon community is an important pathway to realize carbon emission mitigation in the context of...

We investigated controls over the emission of monoterpenes from two species of boreal forest conifers, black spruce (Picea mariana Miller (B.S.P.)) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb). Monoterpenes are important in plants as carbon-based defensive compounds and in the atmosphere as photochemically reactive compounds that affect ozone and carbon monoxide concentrations. We examined ecological t...

In this paper, carbon emissions and the related problems are studied based on carbon emission time series data and the chaos theory, in order to make clear the relationship among the data, and we reconstruct the time series by phase space reconstruction. Finally, the predicting model of the carbon emission is established with BP neural network. The simulation results show that the hybrid of cha...
