Temporal and spatial variation in the environmental impacts of China’s resource extraction at the provincial scale

Introduction: Over the past two decades, China has experienced rapid economic development, which has not only led to a rapid increase in the use of raw materials but has also created environmental problems. This research analyzes the environmental impacts of resource extraction in China at the provi...
