Comments on “Analysis of water–carbon–ecological footprints and resource–environment pressure in the Triangle of Central China” by Yizhong Chen, Hongwei Lu, Pengdong Yan, Yiyang Yange, Jing Li and Jun Xia [Ecological Indicators, 125, 107448]

In recent years, water footprint, carbon footprint and ecological footprint have become popular tools for environmental assessment. These footprint methodologies are part of the environmental footprint family but describe different types of environmental assessment. Water footprint methodology is, i...
