Analysis on agricultural carbon emissions transfer of inter-provincial trade in China. by Xidong Zhang, Juan Zhang, Wenhao Fu, Ziting Pei, Bin Zhang, Mufan Zhuang

“…Beijing and Tianjin are the regions with the smallest net agricultural carbon input among the four net input regions, with the net agricultural carbon input increasing from 12.53 million tons in 2015 to 13.92 million tons in 2021. (3) The net output area of agricultural carbon emissions also formed a spatial distribution pattern of four major regions, and they were concentrated in the north of China with the center of gravity of net output shifting to the north. …”

Beyond Equal Rights: The Persistence of Ethno-Racial Inequalities in America by Olivier Richomme

“…This study explores how in spite of forty years of somewhat successful affirmative action policies and institutional reforms, every socio-economic indicator, every demographic study, every political study shows that wealth, poverty, unemployment, education, spatial segregation, rates of incarceration and voting patterns are still correlated to race. …”

Investigating population genetic structure in a highly mobile marine organism: the minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata acutorostrata in the North East Atlantic. by María Quintela, Hans J Skaug, Nils Øien, Tore Haug, Bjørghild B Seliussen, Hiroko K Solvang, Christophe Pampoulie, Naohisa Kanda, Luis A Pastene, Kevin A Glover

“…The primary findings were: (1) No spatial or temporal genetic differentiations were observed for either class of genetic marker. (2) mtDNA identified three distinct mitochondrial lineages without any underlying geographical pattern. (3) Nuclear markers showed evidence of a single panmictic population in the NE Atlantic according STRUCTURE's highest average likelihood found at K = 1. (4) When K = 2 was accepted, based on the Evanno's test, whales were divided into two more or less equally sized groups that showed significant genetic differentiation between them but without any sign of underlying geographic pattern. …”

Spatio-temporal dynamics and trend forecasting of urban green high-quality development: An examination of 287 cities in China. by Tonghui Yu, Shanshan Jia, Xufeng Cui

“…The research findings indicate: (1) A steady annual increase in the overall level of UGHQD, with a geographic pattern showing high levels in the east, moderate in the center, and low in the west. (2) A spatial agglomeration in UGHQD, predominantly in the eastern region, demonstrating spatio-temporal inertia. (3) Varying degrees of a "right-tail" phenomenon in the UGHQD across China and its four sub-regions, indicating a polarization trend or even a weak multi-polarization trend. (4) A forecast of continuous, steady growth in UGHQD from 2021 to 2025, with the eastern region maintaining its leading position. …”
