This paper analysis the contents and variation of heavy metals in wet and dry deposition in Changji (Xinjiang, China) revealed their reducing regularity for heavy metals in atmosphere in arid area. Samples (including 84 dry deposition samples and 16 wet deposition samples) were collected from...

This paper selects a total of 24 evaluation indicators, including the low carbon constraint, the driving force, the pressure and the status of collaborative governance, to build an evaluation index system. On the basis of low carbon constraints, a spatial niche fitness model was constructed by using...
