“…The index system for assessing the degree of urbanization has been constructed using four dimensions: population, economy, society, and ecology. This framework is grounded in theoretical discussions regarding the essence of new urbanization [3,11,36] and references the "evaluation index system for in situ urbanization" [37]. For the index system for evaluating land use efficiency, input-related indicators are selected from capital input, labor input, and land input, while output-related indicators are chosen from economic benefits, social benefits, and environmental benefits [36,38,39].…”

“…Researchers, both in China and internationally, have conducted comprehensive studies of the interplay between urbanization and land use, and all have underscored the inherent interconnection between urbanization and land utilization [8,9]. This relationship has gradually become more complex with the development of urbanization [10][11][12][13].…”

This swift progression of urbanization has led to increasingly prominent conflicts over the use of land, particularly around its supply and demand. Researchers, both in China and internationally, have underscored the inherent interconnection between urbanization and land utilization. This relationship has gradually become more complex with the development of urbanization. With the implementation of the Yellow River Basin’s strategy to preserve the environment while ensuring high-quality development, the Yellow River Basin has become a focal point of attention for numerous scholars. This study centers on the 57 county-level administrative divisions within the Gansu segment of the Yellow River Basin. We employed an extensive array of methodologies, such as GIS technology, the entropy method, data envelopment analysis, the coupling coordination degree model, and the panel vector autoregressive model. We established an index system and a measurement model to evaluate the degree of urbanization and the efficiency of land use. We also investigated the coupling coordinated dynamics between these two variables, to further explore the dynamic interplay between urbanization and land use and reveal their underlying mechanisms. The conclusions are as follows. The urbanization level and efficiency of land use in the Gansu section of the Yellow River Basin have exhibited a consistent upward trajectory, albeit at levels that are not particularly high, indicating substantial room for improvement in the future. The level of coupling coordination between urbanization and land use efficiency in the Gansu section of the Yellow River Basin has shown a generally upward trend. However, the overall coordination level remains relatively low, characterized by an imbalance, with “high coupling but low coordination”. Regarding spatial distribution patterns, considerable disparities exist in the level of coordination development, which generally decreases from the eastern toward the western regions. A strong reciprocal and interactive relationship exists between the urbanization level and land use efficiency. An elevated level of economic urbanization can initially stimulate land use efficiency. Similarly, the improvement in the level of population urbanization, social urbanization, and ecological urbanization tends to exert a restraining influence on the augmentation of land use efficiency. Conversely, the enhancement of land use efficiency makes a distinct contribution to promoting the elevation of the urbanization level.

“…Hence, these studies indicate that it will be extremely challenging to implement a low-carbon economic development model in the short term [30]. As far as the YRB is concerned, scholars have found that the overall pattern of carbon emissions in the YRB is "high in the east and low in the west", the carbon sink pattern is "high in the west and low in the east" [31], and the intensity of carbon emissions presents a spatial distribution pattern with coexistence of "agglomeration" and "differentiation" [32]. The carbon emissions efficiency gap presents a W-shaped evolution trend, as well as a stepped distribution pattern of "upstream-midstream-downstream" [33].…”

The balanced ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin (YRB) has become a major national strategy in China in which low-carbon agricultural development in the region is crucial. In this context, studying the coupling and coordination between agricultural carbon emissions efficiency and economic growth in the YRB is of great significance to promote low-carbon, green, and sustainable agricultural development. Therefore, based on the data of 30 cities in the YRB from 2010 to 2020, the super-efficient slacks-based measure (SBM) model with non-expected output was employed to effectively measure the agricultural carbon emissions efficiency in the YRB. Subsequently, the coupling and coordination degree of agricultural carbon emissions efficiency and economic growth in the YRB was further calculated. Finally, the Dagum Gini coefficient and kernel density estimation methods were adopted in order to comprehensively examine the spatial differences, as well as the dynamic evolution pattern of the coupled coordination in the YRB. The results demonstrate that there is a significant spatial non-equilibrium in the coupling and coordination degree of agricultural carbon emission efficiency and economic growth in the YRB, in addition to the decreasing trend of coupling coordination during the sample observation period. As such, there is still considerable room for improvement of the efficiency of agricultural carbon emissions and the degree of coupling and coordination in the YRB. This study may serve as a reference for improving the low-carbon development of agriculture and economy in the YRB, providing theoretical guidance for solving the contradiction between ecological protection and economic development in this region.

“…In the processes of protection and utilization, a problem may arise in that the number and scale of assets remain stable while the actual value decreases [30]. It can be seen from a review of the existing literature that the approaches to protection and utilization of natural resource assets are mostly dominated by single elements [31][32][33][34][35]; however, research on the protection and utilization of natural resource assets in the sense of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, and grasslands is almost nonexistent, and there is a lack of established practices and mechanisms for the protection and utilization of natural resource assets falling into these key types. The existing studies on the protection and utilization of each resource type also suffer from different levels of progress, inconsistent structure, and different indexing systems, and thus cannot be directly applied to the unified management of natural resources owned by the general population.…”

The compilation of plans for the protection and utilization of natural resource assets owned by the general population is of great practical significance in supporting the preservation and appreciation of natural resource assets, preventing the loss of state-owned assets, and realizing the reform goal of unified management of natural resource assets. However, the planplanning for the protection and utilization of natural resource assets in China is still at the exploratory stage, with a lack of normative technical procedures and preparation guidelines. Land storage strengthens the management of land assets and helps to realize the preservation and appreciation of land assets, which can provide supporting evidence for the protection and utilization of other natural resource assets. Therefore, on the basis of analyzing the mechanisms of land storage, and drawing on the theory, methods, and practical experience of land storage, this paper extends the land storage system to the protection and utilization management of other natural resource assets, developing a “body and two wings” planning concept for the protection and utilization of natural resource assets, while hoping to provide a useful reference for the protection and utilization of natural resource assets in China. The study found that the theory, method, and practice of land storage meet the needs of natural resource asset protection and management. The proposed plans for the protection and utilization of natural resource assets owned by the general population, mainly through storage, can not only play a basic role in protecting public-welfare natural resource assets and improving ecological functions, but can also play a key role in the operational management of natural resource assets in terms of optimizing resource allocation, improving the efficiency of resource development and utilization, and promoting high-quality development. This is a valuable study that contributes to realization of the reform goal of unified management of natural resource assets, and which can provide a reference for the preparation of natural resource asset plans in various regions.
