“…Forests are one of the most important resources in human society and ecosystems, therefore, many studies focus on the impact of forest area on economic development and environmental protection. For example, L.-C. Lu et al [24] found that forest area is an important factor in controlling CO 2 emissions. By studying data from 28 EU countries between 2009 and 2016, they found that increasing forest area can improve a country's energy efficiency and help reduce CO 2 emissions.…”

This study evaluates the impact of industrial energy efficiency on agricultural development in the 31 member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) from 2015 to 2019. Using dynamic network slack-based measures (DN-SBM) and dynamic network total factor productivity (DN-TFP) indicators, dynamic cross-period information is used to assess the changes in efficiency and productivity of the industrial and agricultural sectors. The empirical results show that the industrial sector of the OECD is more efficient than the agricultural sector, and while some countries have low efficiency, productivity tends to improve. The study has three contributions: 1. Using the concept of the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus as a framework and combining its elements with variables to evaluate the efficiency performance of OECD countries; 2. using a dynamic two-stage DN-SBM model to objectively assess the overall efficiency value and provide improvement suggestions for different stages; 3. a comprehensive analysis of efficiency and productivity; the results can serve as a reference for OECD countries when formulating policies

“…Such activities emit Greenhouse gases (GHGs), which can absorb infrared radiation and trap heat in the atmosphere [5], leading to global warming. The major GHGs are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone, with CO 2 being responsible for 70% of the potential of raising the earth's temperature [8,9,12,13]. Among others, the receding of the arctic cycle diminishes its ability to reflect the sun's irradiance, thereby cooling the earth, keeping the sun's heat energy in the earth's environment, contributing further to global warming [9].…”

In the last few years, the world has experienced the impacts of climate change, such as elevated mean annual temperature, extreme weather events, drought, etc. Among living organisms, perennial plant species are the ones mostly exposed to climate change impacts, as they may experience different extreme events within the same year, such as flooding during some periods and drought in summer months, extremely low temperatures in winter but excessively high temperatures in summer, etc. Climate change affects a range of physiological functions of temperate fruit and nut tree species, such as their phenophases, bud dormancy release and vernalization, pollination and fruit set, fruit growth and quality, as well as bud sprouting and growth initiation. Besides these, the impact of climate change on pests, diseases, and weeds may generate significant negative interactions with tree physiology, threatening food production, food safety, and human welfare. In the present manuscript, a general aspect of climate change impacts on fruits’ and nut trees’ physiological functions is described and commented on.

“…Fried et al (2002) [14] proposed a new three-stage DEA efficiency evaluation model that combines the SFA model and the DEA model. For instance, Lu (2022) [15] used the three-stage DEA method to evaluate the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change, which can remove environmental and stochastic error factors and calculate the true efficiency value. However, using the DEA model alone can only measure static efficiency and lacks efficiency analysis from a dynamic perspective, which cannot identify the optimization and improvement space of AEE [16].…”

The scientific measurement of regional atmospheric environmental efficiency is an important prerequisite for achieving energy conservation and haze reduction and regional green and high-quality development. Taking the cities in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2012 to 2021 as the research object, the atmospheric environmental efficiency is measured from both static and dynamic perspectives using the three-stage DEA model and the Malmquist index to analyze the characteristics of spatial and temporal differences. The study finds that the real atmospheric environmental efficiency of the Yangtze River Delta region is 0.915, and the elimination of environmental factors and random errors is crucial to the assessment of the efficiency. The atmospheric environmental efficiency of the Yangtze River Delta region is not 1, and there is still room for improvement, in which the pure technical efficiency is the main factor that leads to the overall low efficiency. Different environmental variables have different impacts on the atmospheric environmental efficiency, in which the positive impact of the industrial structure is the most significant. Urban agglomerations can be categorized into “high–high–high”, “high–low–high”, “low–low–high”, and “low–high–low”. The total factor productivity of the atmospheric environment showed a gradual growth trend during the study period, in which technological progress played the most important role. Based on this, countermeasures are proposed to better enhance the level of atmospheric environment management in the Yangtze River Delta region.
