This paper calculates greenhouse gas emissions from road vehicles in Baghdad City using IPCC methodology. It provides a localized emissions inventory, though specific results are not available due to missing abstract.

Bellucci F.

This research focuses on methodologies for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the urban scale, discussing improvements to city-level emission inventories and alignment with international reporting standards.

This study quantifies carbon footprints of renewable energy-driven seawater desalination retrofitting in China's coastal areas. It compares emission reductions across regions and technologies, demonstrating the feasibility of low-carbon wat…

Andy Gibson

This study challenges the claim that timber is carbon-negative by linking timber extraction to forest management success rates. Using UK building archetypes, it finds that a modest increase in carbon-optimization in silviculture is needed f…

오세호, Meen Chel Jung

Using district-level data for 2022 from South Korea, this study analyzes spatial patterns of carbon emissions (buildings and transport) and sinks (forests). It reveals that similar net carbon balances can arise from different emission-sink …

Weiskittel, Aaron R.

This study conducts an intercomparison of two forest carbon models (libcbm and GCBM) across 48 CONUS states with a 50-year scenario sweep. Under historical disturbance, CONUS shifts from a carbon sink to a source; reduced clearcutting emerg…

Muhammad Adil

This first global meta-analysis quantifies the effects of no-till (NT) and legume cover crops (LCC) in dryland wheat. NT-LCC increased soil organic carbon by 28.5%, reduced N2O emissions by 16.2%, and boosted yield by 24.1%. Benefits were g…
