Ecological Environments of Tropical and Subtropical Regions in China

摘要

China’s tropical and subtropical zones have high levels of economic development and are densely populated. However, the economic development and population growth have exacerbated ecological problems. This special issue provides a platform for sharing the latest studies on the ecological environments in the tropical and subtropical regions of China. The studies in this issue can be divided into three categories: (a) energy-saving and emission reduction, environmental efficiency, and carbon emissions; (b) relationship between economic development and the ecological environment; and (c) environmental protection services, public satisfaction, and corporate environmental obligations. In this special issue, some studies have adopted and expanded new methods in the field of ecological environment, and some studies have provided empirical evidence for meteorological disaster theory and household consumption behavior theory. In addition, the conclusions of some studies provide important recommendations to the government for policy formulation regarding the ecological environment, improvement of environmental protection services, and economic development.
