Land use change is one of the important factors affecting the migration of non-point source (NPS) pollution. Watersheds in semi-urbanized areas are sensitive to human activities, especially to the change of land use, which leads to a significant change in NPS pollution. Many researchers agree that the best way to control NPS pollution is to increase forest/grassland area and establish grassland buffer zones. However, it is unclear which locations are fit for establishing grassland buffer...

Steel is the most used metal in our modern world, but its production is highly energy- and carbon- intensive. To achieve a carbon-neutral and climate-safe future, there is a need for reaching net-zero emissions by around 2050 and net negative emissions thereafter for every sector including the steel industry. However, steel production, together with other energy-intensive industries such as cement and petrochemicals, is considered a difficult-to-mitigate sector. Efforts for future decarb...
