“…At the same time, from the perspective of the added value of three industries, the tertiary industry is more than the secondary industry, and more than the primary industry, in other words, the promotion of expansionary monetary policy to three industries is asymmetrical, and there is a trend to promote the transformation into the tertiary industry. China is the largest developing country with a vast territory, and the mainland China has great differences in factor endowments and development among various parts, including the extremely uneven distribution of important resources such as water ( 34 ). In order to deeply study the influence of quantitative monetary policy on China's industrial structure, the following is a specific analysis of the dynamic changes facing to the shocks of quantitative monetary policy in different economic zones of mainland China.…”

The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought a serious impact on the economies of various countries, monetary policy needs to play a role in stimulating economic recovery when the economy encounters a serious negative impact. Since the recurrent outbreak of COVID-19 has caused great obstacles to the normal economic exchanges between countries, it has become particularly important to build the domestic market and optimize the industrial allocation at this time. This paper focuses on studying the dynamic impact of China's monetary policy implementation on the industrial structure during the pandemic. Based on the data of the eight major economic zones in Mainland China and the dataset containing many of China's macroeconomic variables, a SV-TVP-FAVAR model is established. The manuscript compares the time-varying effects of monetary policy tools on the industries at different stages before and after the epidemic. The study supported some interesting conclusions. (1) Either the quantitative or price-based monetary policy shocks have significant time-varying impacts on the industries in different economic zones. The impacts of monetary policy on the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in each economic zone are uneven. (2) The developed Northern, Eastern, and Southern coastal economic zones in Mainland China are more sensitive to the changes in monetary policy. (3) COVID-19 has brought a tremendous negative shock on the economy, which has destroyed the original steady-state of the economic system and added more uncertainty to the regulatory effect of monetary policy. Compared with other periods in China's economic history that severely negatively impacted (the Southeast Asian financial crisis and the global economic crisis), industries in most economic zones under the COVID-19 epidemic have been affected by monetary policy for a longer lag time. Therefore, for the implementation of monetary policy, at the moment of COVID-19 epidemic, we should pay more attention to the dual-pillar role of macro-prudential regulation, further improve the process of China's interest rate reform, enrich the monetary toolbox, and implement differentiated monetary policies in line with the economic zone's position, to optimize the regional industrial structure, and promote long-term economic growth.

“…"Spatial equilibrium" is a relatively stable equilibrium state in space [39]. The spatial equilibrium idea has been applied in many fields, involving land use, industrial economy, tourism and shipping, and medical and health, as well as the spatial management of water resources [24]. SED is an important indicator to measure the degree of spatial equilibrium.…”

In recent years, there have been many different interpretations of the concept and connotation of spatial equilibrium.…”

Water resources are indispensable to human society. High-quality development (HQD) is a multi-faceted, demanding, and sustainable pattern. High-quality development level (HQDL) is an indicator of regional development. Its quantitative calculation is helpful to intuitively understand the current regional development situation, and helps departments make timely adjustments. Spatial equilibrium degree (SED) reflects the development balance among regions. Understanding spatial equilibrium can clarify regional development differences, promote the sharing of successful experiences, and then achieve common progress. Considering the current development and utilization situation of China’s water resources, this study established an improved evaluation index system for HQDL, under water resources constraints. Then, we applied the proposed “single index quantification and multiple index synthesis and poly-criteria integration (SMI-P)” method to quantitatively evaluate the HQDL of China’s 31 provincial-level administrative regions (PLARs), from 2010 to 2019. Finally, the calculation method of SED was employed to assess the SED of indicators and HQD in Mainland China. Results show that: (1) the HQDL of 31 PLARs showed a steady upward trend from 2010 to 2019. There were decrease tendencies from the coast to inland, and southeast to northwest in terms of spatial distribution, which shows that China’s HQD has achieved remarkable results in the past 10 years, and the development of coastal areas is better; (2) The SED of HQD displayed a slow upward trend, and it has remained relatively stable after 2015, indicating that the spatial difference of HQD continued to shrink before 2015 and was relatively stable after that; (3) Water resource constraints played a significant role in well-developed areas, while the economic and social level was still the main constraint in medium and poor level areas. In addition, the spatiotemporal variation of HQDL, SED of HQD and indicators, and constraint effects of water resources on regional HQD, were fully discussed. Our findings not only provide new ideas for future research on HQD, but also possess great significance to China’s HQD in the new era.

“…The estimation of the maximum thinning size is the basis for achieving quantitative simulation of forest thinning models. Rainfall and ecohydration are the main sources of regional water resources, while ET and water depletion due to human activities are the main factors leading to water deficits at the regional scale (Bian et al, 2022). Different vegetation types result in different ET, with forests in temperate regions having higher ET than grasslands (R.-P. Guo & Mo, 2007).…”

Appropriate forest thinning measures can mitigate the conflicting relationship between past excessive afforestation and current increasing regional water deficiency in dryland ecosystems. However, since blind intervention in forest landscapes may incur additional economic costs and cause the loss of ecosystem services, forest thinning in drylands mostly exists in scientific discussions and is seldom implemented in reality. In this study, we propose an advanced technical route to predict the spatial arrangement of potential forest thinning locations under different policy scenarios. Taking Shanxi Province in China as a case study, we simulated eight policy scenarios for different stakeholders to assess the benefits and costs after forest thinning in the future. The results show that a water deficit of 533 million m3 exists in Shanxi Province that could potentially be mitigated by means of forest thinning. Under different policy scenarios, the thinned area ranged from 1142.91 to 1195.47 km2, which would result in an additional soil loss of 1.77–3.02 million m3/year and a loss of carbon sequestration of 3.15–3.24 million t/year. Considering both soil conservation and food security scenarios can help minimize the direct costs and loss of forest carbon sequestration capacity and maintain a sustainable landscape pattern. The method can be used as a decision support tool to identify the potential locations of forest thinning and resulting consequences under water scarcity conditions in drylands and to support stakeholders in making scientific adaptive forest landscape optimization decisions.
