Multi-scenario modeling of regional dual-carbon target achievement and air quality improvement: A case study of Zhejiang province by Yuxin Yang

“…The results indicate that (1) the industrial, transport, and residential sectors contribute over 84.7% of energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and air pollutant emissions from 2020 to 2060, identifying them as key targets for mitigation strategies; (2) carbon peaking is not projected under the baseline scenario, but is expected by 2040 in the low-carbon scenario and 2029 in the deep low-carbon scenario, with a peak emission of 208.821 million tons, primarily driven by reductions in the industrial sector; (3) air pollutant emissions across scenarios rank as O3, NO2, PM10, PM2.5, and SO2, indicating the need for stronger O3 control; and (4) the proportion of days meeting national air quality standards remains unchanged, implying further action is necessary to improve air quality. …”

Candidate genes for domestication and resistance to cold climate according to whole genome sequencing data of Russian cattle and sheep breeds by N. S. Yudin, D. M. Larkin

“…We showed that the studied Russian cattle and sheep breeds have at least 10 genes in common, apparently involved in the processes of adaptation/selection, including adaptation to a cold climate, including the ASTN2, PM20D1, TMEM176A, and GLIS1 genes. Based on the intersection with the list of selected genes in at least two Arctic/Antarctic mammal species, 20 and 8 genes, have been identified in cattle and sheep, respectively, that are potentially involved in cold adaptation. …”
