The allocation of land resources plays an important role in guiding and supporting industrial development, and optimizing the allocation of industrial land is important and fundamental for China to realize the green transformation of its development mode. From the perspective of combining environmental policies with the performance assessment of local leading officials, this study took the panel data of 280 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2020 as a research sample and empirically investigated the impact of environmental target constraints on local governments' land transfers in clean-production industries and its mechanisms by using the fixed effect model, instrumental variable method, and mediation effect model, respectively. The moderating effect model was further used to analyze the moderating role of economic growth pressure and financial pressure faced by local governments. The results showed that: ① Environmental target constraints could significantly encourage local governments to increase land transfers in clean-production industries. The result remained robust after addressing potential endogeneity and performing a series of robustness tests. From the perspective of differences in land supply policies, industrial structure, and characteristics of leading officials, the promoting effect of environmental target constraints on local governments' land transfers in clean-production industries was particularly prominent in cities having sufficient land resources, whose economy was highly dependent on the industrial sector, and whose incumbent mayors were not locals or no more than 55 years old. ② The mechanism analysis revealed that environmental target constraints incentivized local governments to increase land transfers in clean-production industries by improving the intensity of environmental regulation and increasing the supervision of environmental monitoring. ③ Further research showed that economic growth pressure faced by local governments undermined the promoting effect of environmental target constraints on land transfers in clean-production industries, while financial pressure had a synergistic effect with environmental target constraints. The above conclusions indicate that the ‘strict constraint’ policies on environmental targets implemented by the central government can incentivize local governments to favor the allocation of green industries when transferring industrial lands, which provides important practical implications for China to achieve a win-win goal of environmental pollution control and resource allocation optimization.

Sweet sorghum is a variety of promising energy crops with high sugar content, rapid growth rate, and strong resistance to saline-alkaline soils. Appropriate storage is highly required to utilize this feedstock for continuous bioenergy production, particularly harvested in a seasonal manner in China. In this study, the addition of rumen fluid was introduced to sweet sorghum for better ensiling quality during long-term (30 to 60 days) storage. A systematic investigation was made on the ensiling profile, including the organic components, fermentation quality, and enzymatic hydrolysis of sweet sorghum silage. Furthermore, an experimental analysis was performed on the dynamic process of microbial community during ensiling. The sweet sorghum was ensiled at 5 different dosages of rumen fluid: CK, silage without the addition of additive; R1, silage with rumen fluid at 1 mL/100 g fresh substrate; R3 at 3 mL/100 g; R5, 5 mL/100 g; R7 at 7 mL/100 g. The results showed that the contents of dry matter (DM), water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC), crude protein (CP), and ammonia nitrogen (AN) decreased significantly, as both ensiling time and dosage increased in four treatments with the addition of rumen fluid, compared with the CK silages without rumen fluid. The increased rumen fluid and prolonged ensiling contributed to reducing the content of acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), cellulose, and hemicellulose, while elevating the abundance of beneficial Lactobacillus in silages. Lignin in silages at ensiled for 60 days was effectively removed when the maximum dosage of rumen fluid was up to 7 g/100 g. There was a significant decrease in the contents of lactic acid and acetic acid, as well as the pH values in five treatments (CK, R1, R3, R5, R7), with the extension of the ensiling period (P<0.05). The contents of lactic acid and acetic acid in R7 and R5 were higher than those of treatments after 60 days, which were 9.42 g/kg (R7) and 29.08 g/kg (R5), respectively. The dominant phylum in CK silages was still Proteobacteria after ensiling, where the relative abundance was up to 96.1% and 81.2% after 30 and 60 days, respectively. However, the bacterial communities changed significantly, due to the fact the bioaugmentation of rumen fluid resulted in the coexistence of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes in bioaugmented silages. After bioaugmented ensiling for 30 days, Lactobacillus and Acetobacter became enriched in the range of 18.2-46.2% and 3.61-18.0%, respectively, as the dosage of rumen fluid increased. After 60 days of ensiling, the relative abundance of Lactobacillus increased from 45.2 (R1) to 81.1% (R7) with the increase of rumen fluid dosage. The addition of rumen fluid also enhanced the reducing sugar yield during enzymatic saccharification for 72 h. Specifically, the yields of reducing sugars in all treatments at 30 days significantly increased by 26% (CK), 30% (R1), 34% (R3), 40% (R5), and 44% (R7), respectively, compared with the raw sweet sorghum. The bioaugmented ensiling improved substantially the yield of reducing sugars, compared with the CK silages, indicating a positive correlation to the dosage of rumen fluid. It was also found that the 72 h reducing sugars yields of all silages at 60 days were significantly higher than those at 30 days. The R7 silage achieved the highest reducing sugars yield of 795.4 mg/g after 60 days of silage, indicating a linear correlation to the high biodegradation potential. The addition of rumen fluid can effectively improve the ensiling quality and biodegradability of ensiled sweet sorghum, thereby serving as biological pretreatment via bioaugmentation. This finding can provide the promising ethanol utilization of sweet sorghum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
