Human Perturbation of the Global Phosphorus Cycle: Changes and Consequences.
TL;DR: The importance of sustainable P supply as a control on future food security because of regional P scarcity, food demand increase and continuously P intensive food production is highlighted, implying the great need for incorporating P in models predicting the response of carbon and nitrogen cycles to global changes.

Intensification of phosphorus cycling in China since the 1600s.
TL;DR: It is found that P cycling in China has been artificially intensified during this period to sustain the increasing population and its demand for animal protein-based diets, with continuous accumulations in inland waters and lands.

Life-cycle assessment of multi-crystalline photovoltaic (PV) systems in China
Yinyin Fu,Xin Liu,Zengwei Yuan +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a life-cycle assessment for a photovoltaic (PV) system with multi-crystalline silicon (multi-Si) modules in China, considering the primary energy demand, energy payback time (EPBT), and environmental impacts, such as global warming potential and eutrophication, over the entire life cycle of the PV system.

Environmental impacts of lithium production showing the importance of primary data of upstream process in life-cycle assessment.
TL;DR: The result shows that the impacts of rock-based lithium production are dominated by the leaching process, which has the highest levels of impacts for 8 of 10 environmental categories and all 10 impact categories of lithium produced by LRT are much larger than that by LBT, with differences up to 60.4 -fold.
