Emission Characteristics of Volatile Organic Compounds from Typical Coal Utilization Sources: A Case Study in Shanxi of Northern China by Yang Xu, Hualong Yu, Yulong Yan, Lin Peng, Rumei Li, Cheng Wang, Zhiyong Li

“…In this study, we investigated the profiles; benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) ratios; ozone formation potential (OFP); and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation potential of VOCs generated by coal-utilizing steel plants, power plants, coking plants, and residential stoves in northern China. Among the detected VOCs, the results identified 1-butene as the most abundant species for both the power plants (36.7%) and the residential stoves (41.7%) as well as a significant contributor at the steel plants (7.3%), and alkenes, alkanes, and aromatics composed the largest groups for the power plants (42.0%) and residential stoves (60.2%); steel plants (59.2%); and coking plants (66.1%), respectively. …”

Tracing Aquatic Macrophyte Development in Nansi Lake, Northern China's Largest Freshwater Lake: Plant Macrofossils From 1855 to Present by Qinghui Zhang, Yufei Wu, Liwei Yang, Zekun Li, Zonglei Li, Yuying Yang, Shiyue Chen, Enfeng Liu

“…This study utilized plant macrofossil remains deposited in the sediment, combined with macrophyte surveys from 1983 to 2010, to reconstruct the historical changes in the macrophyte community over approximately 160 years in Lake Weishan, a sub‐lake of Lake Nansi located in the lower Yellow River (Huanghe River) Basin, northern China. Approximately 54.3% of the species historically recorded at the core site were identified through macro‐remains analysis, including five previously unrecorded submerged taxa (Myriophyllum verticillatum, Ranunculus trichophyllus, Chara sp., Nitella sp., and Vallisneria spinulosa) discovered during monitoring surveys. …”

Pre-Season Precipitation and Temperature Have a Larger Influence on Vegetation Productivity than That of the Growing Season in the Agro-Pastoral Ecotone in Northern China by Yuanyuan Zhang, Qingtao Wang, Xueyuan Zhang, Zecheng Guo, Xiaonan Guo, Changhui Ma, Baocheng Wei, Lei He

“…This study utilizes satellite-derived vegetation indices, land cover datasets, and climate data to investigate the influence of both land cover and climate changes on vegetation growth in the agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China (APENC) from 2001 to 2022. The results reveal that the sensitivity of vegetation productivity, as indicated by the kernel Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (kNDVI), varies depending on the land cover type to climate change in the APENC. …”
