A dual-method approach integrating dynamic QCA and LightGBM-SHAP algorithms to uncover the configuration paths and key drivers of water resource green efficiency in China by Naiming He, Rijia Ding

“…Growth in the GML index was mainly driven by green technological progress (GTC). (2) Although no single necessary condition was found to drive WRGE, three model types and four configuration paths were identified: technology–environment-driven, environment-driven, and organization–environment-driven. (3) The most influential factors were digital economy development, followed by industrial structure rationalization and environmental regulation. This study provides key policy recommendations, including the promotion of green technology, the strengthening of regulations, the enhancement of policy resilience, the implementation of region-specific strategies, and the integration of the digital economy with water resource management, thus offering valuable insights for regions facing water scarcity.…”

From Fertile Grounds to Sealed Fields: Assessing and Mapping Soil Ecosystem Services in Forlì’s Urban Landscape (NE Italy) by Fabrizio Ungaro, Paola Tarocco, Alessandra Aprea, Stefano Bazzocchi, Costanza Calzolari

“…Soil data (textural fractions, pH, organic carbon content) were interpolated over the entire case study area, providing the inputs for locally calibrated pedotransfer functions whose outputs were used to assess a set of seven indicators for the potential supply of soil ecosystem services (SESs): soil biodiversity, buffer capacity, carbon storage, agricultural production, biomass production, water regulation, and water storage. Maps of the seven ecosystem services on a hybrid resolution grid of 25 and 100 m were complemented with an overall urban soil quality map based on the combinations of four different SES indicators. …”
