The incompleteness and scarcity of life cycle inventory (LCI) data constitute a critical challenge for life cycle assessment (LCA), limiting database coverage for a wide range of current activities and emerging technologies. This paper proposes a novel computational framework that leverages statistical relational learning for knowledge graphs to extrapolate LCI data for machining activities when data are incomplete or don't exist within LCI databases. First, an ontology-based knowledge graph for LCI data (LCIKG) of machining activities in the Ecoinvent database is developed, which provides an explicit semantic representation of LCI data concepts and interrelations. Second, the LCIKG is embedded into a real-valued vector space using a tensor factorization-based relational learning model, which captures the latent semantic similarity of entities and relations in LCIKG. Missing data are modeled as incomplete triples, and a score vector was computed for each to predict the missing flow type or value. Finally, the model's efficacy was demonstrated through two validation pathways: accurately estimating intentionally omitted data within the Ecoinvent database and successfully extrapolating data for a new machining activity from an external database. Quantitative evaluation yields a high predictive accuracy, with a mean squared error (MSE) of 5.30 and a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 2.36 %. This research establishes a new, knowledge-driven paradigm for bridging LCI data gaps, offering a robust and scalable solution to enhance data completeness and reliability in LCA.
生命周期清单(LCI)数据的不完整性和稀缺性对生命周期评估(LCA)构成了重大挑战,限制了数据库对当前活动和新兴技术的广泛覆盖。本文提出了一种新的计算框架,该框架利用知识图的统计关系学习,在LCI数据库中数据不完整或不存在时推断加工活动的LCI数据。首先,开发了Ecoinvent数据库中加工活动LCI数据的基于本体的知识图谱(LCIKG),为LCI数据概念和相互关系提供了明确的语义表示。其次,使用基于张量分解的关系学习模型将LCIKG嵌入到实值向量空间中,该模型捕获LCIKG中实体和关系的潜在语义相似性。缺失的数据被建模为不完整的三元组,并为每个三元组计算一个分数向量来预测缺失的流类型或值。最后,通过两种验证途径证明了该模型的有效性:准确估计Ecoinvent数据库中有意忽略的数据,并成功地从外部数据库中推断出新的加工活动的数据。定量评价获得了较高的预测精度,均方误差(MSE)为5.30,平均绝对百分比误差(MAPE)为2.36%。本研究为弥合LCI数据差距建立了一个新的、知识驱动的范例,提供了一个强大的、可扩展的解决方案,以增强LCA中的数据完整性和可靠性。

The integration of Construction 4.0 technologies, such as digital technologies, with circular economy (CE) concepts, offers significant potential to advance smart circular construction (SCC). Yet, the literature lacks a cohesive understanding of the measurable, value-driven outcomes, termed smart circular values, that can guide SCC's systemic adoption. This study addresses this gap by developing a conceptual framework for strategically deploying Construction 4.0 technologies to enhance material circularity in the construction sector, grounded in the human-centric, resilient, and sustainable principles of Industry 5.0. A systematic literature review of 96 peer-reviewed articles was conducted to map interdependencies between Construction 4.0 technologies and CE concepts. Using a novel operationalisation technique, the direct clustering algorithm, technologies were grouped according to their support for CE concepts, revealing five distinct smart circular values: smart energy management, smart construction methods, smart resource optimisation, smart tracking and tracing, and smart waste management. These values form the foundation for defining SCC and reveal distinct, technology-enabled pathways for its realisation. Potential adverse impacts of adopting Construction 4.0 technologies were also identified to guide implementation strategies and inform assessments of the net benefits of SCC adoption. Overall, the framework outlines key adoption priorities, highlights pressing challenges, and emphasises the importance of organisation-level assessments to accelerate progress toward a more circular built environment.
建筑4.0技术(如数字技术)与循环经济(CE)概念的整合,为推进智能循环建筑(SCC)提供了巨大的潜力。然而,文献缺乏对可测量的、价值驱动的结果(称为智能循环价值)的有凝聚力的理解,这可以指导SCC的系统采用。本研究以工业5.0的以人为本、弹性和可持续原则为基础,通过开发一个概念性框架,战略性地部署建筑4.0技术,以增强建筑部门的材料循环性,从而解决了这一差距。对96篇同行评议文章进行了系统的文献综述,以绘制建筑4.0技术与CE概念之间的相互依赖关系。使用一种新的操作技术,直接聚类算法,技术根据其对CE概念的支持进行分组,揭示了五个不同的智能循环价值:智能能源管理,智能建筑方法,智能资源优化,智能跟踪和跟踪以及智能废物管理。这些价值观构成了定义SCC的基础,并揭示了实现SCC的独特、技术支持的途径。还确定了采用建筑4.0技术的潜在不利影响,以指导实施策略,并为采用SCC的净效益评估提供信息。总体而言,该框架概述了关键的采用优先事项,突出了紧迫的挑战,并强调了组织层面评估的重要性,以加速迈向更循环的建筑环境。

Glaciers of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) are vital ecological and economic assets, playing a crucial role in regional ecosystems and socio-economic development. As global warming accelerates cryospheric retreat, it becomes increasingly important to accurately quantify changes in glacier ecosystem services and develop adaptive management strategies. This study focuses on glaciers in the QTP, utilizing data from the First (1978–2002) and Second (2004–2011) Chinese Glacier Inventories, multi-source remote sensing imagery, and socio-economic statistical yearbooks. Employing economic valuation methods such as shadow pricing and market valuation, this study comprehensively quantifies glacier service values in terms of freshwater supply, hydropower generation, climate regulation, runoff regulation, habitat support, aesthetic and recreational value, and scientific research. Additionally, glacier vulnerability across the different basins of the QTP is analyzed through dynamic indicators. The results indicate that the total glacier ecosystem service value on the QTP amounts to approximately 1.34 trillion CNY, with regulatory services accounting for 95.04 %. Compared to the First Glacier Inventory, service values decreased by 22.07 % in the Second Inventory. Service values are higher in the south and west, with the Brahmaputra and Tarim Basins contributing 27.45 % and 26.56 %, respectively. However, rising temperatures and reduced precipitation increase glacier vulnerability, particularly in high-value regions like the Indus Basin, where vulnerability is also influenced by population growth. The findings highlight the urgency of implementing adaptive management strategies, such as glacier disaster risk warning, glacier resource utilization, social participation, and industrial development, to mitigate ecological and economic risks and achieve sustainable regional development. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of glacier service values and vulnerabilities on the QTP, offering a holistic understanding of the impacts of glacier retreat in the region and informing more effective decision-making and management strategies.
随着全球变暖加速冰冻圈退缩,准确量化冰川生态系统服务变化和制定适应性管理策略变得越来越重要。本研究利用第一期(1978-2002)和第二期(2004-2011)中国冰川清查、多源遥感影像和社会经济统计年鉴的数据,以QTP中的冰川为研究对象。本研究采用影子定价和市场评估等经济评估方法,从淡水供应、水力发电、气候调节、径流调节、栖息地支持、审美和娱乐价值以及科学研究等方面对冰川服务价值进行了综合量化。此外,通过动态指标分析了青藏高原不同流域的冰川脆弱性。结果表明:青藏高原冰川生态系统服务价值约为1.34万亿元,其中调节服务价值占95.04%。与第一次冰川清查相比,第二次冰川清查的服务价值下降了22.07%。服务价值在南部和西部较高,雅鲁藏布江盆地和塔里木盆地贡献分别为27.45%和26.56%。然而,气温上升和降水减少增加了冰川的脆弱性,特别是在像印度河流域这样的高价值地区,那里的脆弱性也受到人口增长的影响。研究结果强调了实施冰川灾害风险预警、冰川资源利用、社会参与和产业发展等适应性管理策略以减轻生态和经济风险,实现区域可持续发展的紧迫性。本研究对QTP的冰川服务价值和脆弱性进行了综合评估,为全面了解该地区冰川退缩的影响提供了依据,并为更有效的决策和管理策略提供了依据。

The increasing volume of municipal solid waste (MSW) globally requires sustainable management strategies, especially in resource-constrained regions where landfilling remains predominant due to economic limitations. This study proposes a decision-support model focused on sustainability to guide the choice of technological routes for MSW management, comparing a conventional sanitary landfill with an integrated and innovative biorefinery (2IB), positioned at the top of the waste management hierarchy. The evaluation includes a diagnosis phase, which addressed only the treatment plants, and a simulation phase, which incorporated transportation distances and variations in MSW composition. Both phases were based on the five-sector sustainability model (5SEnSU), here applied for the first time to MSW management systems. Results focused on treatment showed that 2IB performs approximately 15 times better in terms of the sustainability synthetic indicator of the system (SSIS: 0.53) compared to sanitary landfill (SSIS: 8.12). Results from simulations revealed that 2IB remains the more sustainable option for additional transport distances up to 11,000 km/day and for any combination of organic and inorganic waste fraction. The study concludes that the adoption of 2IB should be prioritized in MSW public policies, particularly through intermunicipal consortia, which can facilitate implementation. This study contributes scientifically by assessing, for the first time using the 5SEnSU, the sustainability of an innovative biorefinery for MSW. Practically, it delivers a replicable and adaptable model to help local governments make informed, sustainability-based decisions. It further offers clear operational threshold, on transport distance and waste composition, that can be readily applied in real-world planning and policy.
全球城市固体废物(MSW)的数量不断增加,需要可持续的管理战略,特别是在资源有限的地区,由于经济限制,垃圾填埋仍然占主导地位。本研究提出了一个以可持续性为重点的决策支持模型,以指导城市生活垃圾管理技术路线的选择,并将传统的卫生填埋场与位于废物管理层级顶端的综合创新生物精炼厂(2IB)进行了比较。评估包括诊断阶段(仅针对处理厂)和模拟阶段(考虑运输距离和城市生活垃圾组成的变化)。这两个阶段均以五界别可持续发展模式为基础,并首次应用于都市固体废物管理系统。处理方面的结果表明,与卫生填埋场(SSIS: 8.12)相比,2IB在系统可持续性综合指标(SSIS: 0.53)方面的表现约为15倍。模拟结果显示,对于每天11,000公里的额外运输距离以及任何有机和无机废物部分的组合,2IB仍然是更可持续的选择。该研究的结论是,在城市固体废物公共政策中应优先采用2IB,特别是通过城市间的联盟,这可以促进实施。本研究通过首次使用5SEnSU评估创新型城市生活垃圾生物炼制的可持续性,为科学做出了贡献。实际上,它提供了一个可复制和适应性强的模式,帮助地方政府做出明智的、基于可持续性的决策。它还提供了关于运输距离和废物组成的明确操作门槛,可以很容易地应用于实际的规划和政策。

A territory, which is a geographical area qualified by a legal affiliation or by a natural or cultural feature, presents an appropriate scale for establishing responsibilities and initiating sustainable development actions. At the same time, globalization implies constant interaction of territories with the rest of the world. The management of territorial projects therefore requires a revised set of environmental assessment tools that consider local and global issues with a multi-scale perspective. The environmental benefits of land use policies can, however, remain hidden behind global approaches such as life cycle assessment (LCA), which are generally product-oriented and tend to ignore ecosystem services (ES). This paper aims to propose new decision-making tools for land use planning based on the joint use of ecosystem services assessment (ESA) and territorial Life Cycle Assessment (T-LCA). Within the T-LCA framework, two main types of indicators were quantified. On the one hand, the services provided by land planning scenarios were computed by the ESA by considering provisioning, cultural and regulation ES. On the other hand, environmental impacts were characterized using the Impact World+ Life Cycle Impacts Assessment (LCIA) method.
Two contrasting scenarios and a business as usual scenario (BAU) were studied and compared as a proof of concept. Scenario 1 focused on productive economy by maintaining and diversifying the shellfish farming sector, which is a strong component of the area's social identity. Scenario 2 favoured the development of tourism. Overall, the results indicated that environmental damages varied only slightly between scenarios, with tourism activities (i.e., transport and accommodation) emerging as the primary contributors. In contrast, there were very different profiles in terms of socio-economic benefits depending on the scenario. Provisioning ES were very high in scenario 1, while scenario 2 led to a clear increase in cultural ES. This research emphasizes the importance of developing integrated assessment approaches when creating local planning policies, in order to identify potential trade-offs between environmental impacts and benefits, and local and global issues.
领土是具有法律从属关系或自然或文化特征的地理区域,为确立责任和发起可持续发展行动提供了适当的尺度。与此同时,全球化意味着领土与世界其他地区的不断互动。因此,领土项目的管理需要一套经过修订的环境评估工具,以多尺度的视角考虑地方和全球问题。然而,土地利用政策的环境效益可能仍然隐藏在生命周期评估(LCA)等全球方法背后,这些方法通常以产品为导向,往往忽视生态系统服务(ES)。本文旨在提出基于生态系统服务评价(ESA)和领土生命周期评价(T-LCA)联合使用的土地利用规划决策新工具。在T-LCA框架内,对两类主要指标进行了量化。一方面,土地规划方案所提供的服务是由ESA通过考虑供给、文化和监管的ES来计算的。另一方面,采用影响世界+生命周期影响评价(LCIA)方法对环境影响进行表征。作为概念验证,研究并比较了两个对比场景和一个业务照常场景(BAU)。情景1侧重于生产性经济,通过维持和多样化贝类养殖部门,这是该地区社会身份的重要组成部分。情景2有利于旅游业的发展。总体而言,结果表明,环境损害在不同情景之间的差异很小,旅游活动(即交通和住宿)成为主要贡献者。相反,就社会经济利益而言,根据不同的情况有非常不同的情况。在场景1中,供应ES非常高,而场景2导致文化ES明显增加。这项研究强调了在制定地方规划政策时发展综合评估方法的重要性,以便确定环境影响和利益以及地方和全球问题之间的潜在权衡。

Given global water scarcity and climate change, groundwater represents a viable source of high-quality water, whose recharge potential depends on soil physical quality. This study proposes the Soil Quality Index for Groundwater Recharge Potential (SQIgr), developed for Brazilian soils as a tool to support sustainable land and water management. Eleven physical attributes from the Hydrophysical Database for Brazilian Soils (HYBRAS v.2) were analyzed using Supervised Principal Component Analysis (SPCA) to identify the most influential indicators. Three key attributes were selected to generate the SQIgr: Saturated Soil Hydraulic Conductivity (Kslablog), Drainable Porosity (DP), and Silt content. Two land uses (Agriculture and Forestry) and four soil classes (G2: Acrisols and Lixisols; G4: Ferralsols) were included for validation. SQIgr and the Basic Infiltration Rate (BIRn) showed no significant differences for the Agr_G2 and For_G4 groups. SQIgr values were 0.76 (For_G4), 0.58 (Agr_G4), and 0.50 (Agr_G2) showing that agricultural land use reduced soil quality for recharge, whereas Ferralsols exhibited higher potential, as expected. The spatial feasibility of the index was validated using baseflow contribution. Overall, SQIgr proved to be a useful tool for sustainable watershed management and conservation planning.
鉴于全球水资源短缺和气候变化,地下水是一种可行的高质量水源,其补给潜力取决于土壤物理质量。本研究提出了地下水补给潜力土壤质量指数(SQIgr),该指数是为巴西土壤开发的,可作为支持可持续土地和水管理的工具。使用监督主成分分析(SPCA)分析了巴西土壤水物理数据库(HYBRAS v.2)中的11个物理属性,以确定最具影响力的指标。选取了三个关键属性来生成SQIgr:饱和土壤水力导率(Kslablog)、可排水孔隙度(DP)和淤泥含量。包括两种土地用途(农业和林业)和四种土壤类别(G2: Acrisols和Lixisols; G4: Ferralsols)进行验证。ag_g2组和For_G4组的SQIgr和基本浸润率(BIRn)差异无统计学意义。SQIgr值分别为0.76 (For_G4)、0.58 (Agr_G4)和0.50 (Agr_G2),表明农业用地降低了土壤的补给质量,而Ferralsols则表现出更高的补给潜力。利用基流贡献验证了该指标的空间可行性。总体而言,SQIgr被证明是可持续流域管理和保护规划的有用工具。

The occurrence of extreme weather phenomena is projected to intensify globally in the coming decades, particularly under future climate scenarios. As a result, the long-term resilience of urban green infrastructure (UGI) remains uncertain. Although several studies have attempted to quantify UGI vulnerability to climate change, exposure indicators beyond precipitation-related variables have often been overlooked, limiting the understanding of the full range of climatic stressors. To address this gap, an extreme weather exposure index development framework was established to support climate-resilient planning and environmental impact assessments. The framework was applied to two UGI types, permeable pavements and green roofs, across eight major cities in South Korea using three weighting methods. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to reflect expert judgment, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify co-varying environmental stressors, and entropy weighting to capture indicators with discriminatory power. Climate projections were obtained from CMIP6 models under the SSP1–2.6 and SSP5–8.5 scenarios and bias-corrected using quantile mapping. AHP emphasized temperature extremes, PCA highlighted multivariate contrasts such as heat wave and rainfall extremes, and entropy weighting prioritized unevenly distributed indicators such as cold wave days and heavy rainfall. Exposure levels varied by UGI type, city, and climate zone, with cities classified into humid continental (Dfa) and humid subtropical (Cfa) climate zones. A strong alignment was observed between AHP- and PCA-based indices (ρ = 0.74–0.93), indicating consistency between expert-informed and variance-driven approaches. Among the methods, AHP was found most reliable, making it the recommended basis for index construction. Meanwhile, the framework remains broadly applicable across planning contexts, offering a structured tool for assessing climate exposure and supporting resilient urban infrastructure under climatic uncertainties.
预计未来几十年全球极端天气现象的发生将加剧,特别是在未来气候情景下。因此,城市绿色基础设施(UGI)的长期韧性仍然不确定。虽然有几项研究试图量化UGI对气候变化的脆弱性,但除了降水相关变量之外的暴露指标往往被忽视,限制了对气候压力源的全面了解。为了弥补这一差距,建立了一个极端天气暴露指数开发框架,以支持气候适应型规划和环境影响评估。该框架应用于韩国八个主要城市的两种UGI类型,透水路面和绿色屋顶,使用三种加权方法。采用层次分析法(AHP)反映专家判断,采用主成分分析法(PCA)识别共变环境压力源,采用熵权法捕捉具有区别力的指标。气候预估由CMIP6模式在SSP1-2.6和SSP5-8.5情景下获得,并使用分位数作图进行偏差校正。AHP强调极端温度,PCA强调极端热浪和极端降雨等多元对比,熵权优先考虑寒潮日数和暴雨等分布不均匀的指标。暴露水平因UGI类型、城市和气候带而异,城市分为湿润大陆性(Dfa)和湿润亚热带(Cfa)气候带。在基于AHP和基于pca的指数之间观察到强烈的一致性(ρ = 0.74-0.93),表明专家知情和方差驱动方法之间的一致性。其中,层次分析法最可靠,可作为指标构建的推荐依据。同时,该框架仍然广泛适用于各种规划背景,为评估气候风险和支持气候不确定性下的弹性城市基础设施提供了结构化工具。

Amid rapid global urbanization, urban expansion has led to dynamic shifts between urban built-up land and ecological land. Nevertheless, few studies have investigated the interdependencies between ecosystem service value costs (ESVC) and land development economic profit (LDEP) resulting from land use changes. This study quantitatively assesses the spatial correlation characteristics between ESVC and LDEP. Then, an interpretable machine learning model combining XGBoost and SHAP was developed to examine the nonlinear effects of multidimensional influencing factors on these cost–benefit relationships across multiscales. The results reveal that high-value ESVC areas formed a ring around the central city, whereas high-value LDEP areas followed a concentric pattern radiating outward. The central urban zone predominantly exhibited a “low cost–high benefit” pattern, whereas suburban new towns were mainly characterized by a “low cost–low benefit” configuration. Grid clusters of “low-low” and “high-high” types were mainly located in the central zone, while “high-low” and “low-low” clusters were concentrated in peripheral suburban areas. Trade-off intensity was low in the central zone and high in suburban new towns. The influence of driving factors on cost–benefit relationships was nonlinear and varied across scales. Variables such as Shannon's diversity index (SHDI), Night light (NL), Building density (BD), Green space density (GD) had strong negative effects, while the Contagion index (Contag), and Distance to rural (Dis_Rur) and industrial (Dis_Ind) areas showed positive impacts. Threshold effects were observed for SHDI ([0.6–0.8]), NL ([15–25] nW/cm2/sr), GD ([5 %–15 %]), BD ([10 %–15 %]). Interactions among variables revealed both synergistic and antagonistic relationships. By integrating a multiscale analytical framework with interpretable machine learning, this study provides a novel methodological approach to understanding the trade-offs between environmental degradation and economic expansion. Our findings provide actionable insights for promoting sustainable urban land use, balancing development goals with ecological preservation, and guiding urban land-use planning strategies.
在全球快速城市化进程中,城市扩张导致了城市建设用地与生态用地之间的动态转换。然而,很少有研究对土地利用变化引起的生态系统服务价值成本(ESVC)与土地开发经济利润(LDEP)之间的相互依赖关系进行研究。本研究定量评价了ESVC与LDEP的空间相关特征。然后,结合XGBoost和SHAP开发了一个可解释的机器学习模型,以检验多维影响因素对这些多尺度成本效益关系的非线性影响。结果表明:高值ESVC区呈环状围绕中心城市,而高值LDEP区呈向外辐射的同心圆格局;中心城区以“低成本-高效益”格局为主,近郊新城以“低成本-低效益”格局为主。“低-低”和“高-高”型网格集群主要分布在中心区域,“高-低”和“低-低”型网格集群集中在外围郊区。交换强度在中心区较低,在城郊新市镇较高。驱动因素对成本效益关系的影响是非线性的,且在不同的尺度上存在差异。Shannon’s diversity index (SHDI)、Night light (NL)、Building density (BD)、Green space density (GD)等变量具有较强的负向影响,而Contagion index (Contag)、Distance to rural (Dis_Rur) and industrial (Dis_Ind) areas均具有正向影响。阈值效应观察SHDI([0.6 - -0.8])、问(nW(15 - 25) /厘米2 / sr), GD((5% - -15%))、双相障碍((10% - -15%))。变量间的相互作用既有协同关系,也有对抗关系。通过将多尺度分析框架与可解释的机器学习相结合,本研究为理解环境退化与经济扩张之间的权衡提供了一种新的方法方法。研究结果为促进城市土地可持续利用,平衡发展目标与生态保护,指导城市土地利用规划策略提供了可操作的见解。

Corporate actions are crucial for achieving net zero carbon emissions targets. By using Chinese listed companies' data and Micro Corporate Tax Surveys data from 2007 to 2016, we investigate the impact of digital transformation (DT) on carbon emissions. Our findings show that as DT increases, corporate carbon emissions decrease. The mechanism analysis reveals that DT can reduce carbon emissions through enterprise green innovation, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement. Heterogeneity analysis demonstrates that the carbon reduction effect of DT is strongest for upstream industries, manufacturing enterprises, central and western regions, and state-owned enterprises, and varies across the carbon-emission distribution. We bolster our core findings by rigorously addressing endogeneity. Further research indicates that cognitive inhibition related to environmental policy uncertainty (EPU) impedes the effect of DT on reducing corporate carbon emissions.
企业行动对于实现净零碳排放目标至关重要。本文利用2007 - 2016年中国上市公司数据和微企业税收调查数据,研究了数字化转型对碳排放的影响。我们的研究结果表明,随着DT的增加,企业碳排放量减少。机制分析表明,DT可以通过企业绿色创新、降低成本和提高效率来减少碳排放。异质性分析表明,产业创新对上游产业、制造业企业、中西部地区和国有企业的碳减排效果最强,且在不同的碳排放分布中存在差异。我们通过严格解决内生性问题来支持我们的核心发现。进一步研究表明,环境政策不确定性相关的认知抑制阻碍了环境政策对企业碳排放的影响。
