Designing industrial landscapes for mitigating air pollution with spatially‐explicit techno‐ecological synergy

Abstract

Air pollution has posed health and environmental threats since the Industrial Revolution. Technological solutions present major expenses for industry, yet nature's ecosystems also provide pollution uptake. In the pursuit of techno‐ecological sustainable design, this work presents a framework for spatially‐explicit industrial site design that determines where and when ecological restoration should be considered. The framework considers land use changes and identifies the cheapest balance between technological and ecological uptake for industrial landscapes, including the impacts of long term ecological growth dynamics. This work presents the framework's construction along with a case study conducted for a coal‐fired power station in Ohio. The results provide spatial maps of proposed restoration areas, projected savings values, and spatial‐temporal maps that consider annual budget constraints. The results demonstrate a significant sensitivity to land use restoration costs and highlights ecological advantages, like simultaneous uptake of different chemical species.

Landscape Architecture Design and Implementation Based on Intelligent Monitoring Sensing Network

“…The research on smart gardens is mainly divided into two parts: theoretical research and applied research. In terms of theoretical research, Bakshi and Charles proposed that the current main digital design methods are sorted out, and a preliminary and relatively accurate concept of digital planning and design of landscape architecture is made [13]. In the lineage delineation, the first is the computer-aided design lineage, the second is the digital design media and information management lineage, and the third is the digital information model of landscape architecture.…”

Mathematical Analysis on the Action Mechanism of Different Intensities of Environmental Regulation on Regional Economy

“…However, industrialization leads to more and more intense environmental pollution, making it difcult for China to improve the ecological efciency of regional industry [7][8][9][10][11][12]. To devise economic development strategies under diferent intensities of environmental regulation, the following question must be answered: whether the regional environmental regulation, which intends to eliminate and prevent environmental pollution, can effectively constrain pollution discharge by enterprises, positively afect the ecological efciency of industry, and push up the production and operation costs of enterprises [13][14][15][16][17]. An in-depth understanding of environmental regulation and its action mechanisms on the regional economy helps the regional government make correct and reasonable decisions on environmental and industrial policy.…”
