中国农业碳排放时空特征及驱动因素分析

Analysis of spatial and temporal characteristics and drivers of agricultural carbon emissions in China

  • 摘要: 为探究中国农业碳排放的时空分布特征及驱动因素, 基于2000—2021年中国31个省(自治区、直辖市, 不包括香港、澳门和台湾, 下同)统计年鉴数据, 考察水利用、土地利用和能源消耗的碳排放, 利用联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)碳排放因子建立2000—2021年水、土地和能源3个子系统相关变量, 计算各省(自治区、直辖市)农业年碳排放总量, 结合莫兰指数对农业碳排放时空演变趋势及空间关联特征进行分析, 并运用对数均值迪氏分解法(Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index, 简称LMDI)探析农业碳排放的主要驱动因素。结果表明: 1)从时序变化看, 农业碳排放量整体呈倒“V”型变化趋势。2)从农业碳排放来源看, 农业源碳排放中源于化肥的碳排放占比最高。3)从农业碳排放空间差异看, 碳排放较大的省份(自治区、直辖市)主要集中在黄淮海区域以及中部平原等水土资源条件丰富且优质的地区, 西部地区与部分直辖市(北京、上海、天津)农业碳排放量较少, 高农业碳排放地区存在向北蔓延的趋势。4)农业碳排放在空间上具有集聚效应, 且随着时间推移, 集聚效应的显著性有所下降, 其中河南、安徽、山东等省份(自治区、直辖市)具有显著的“高-高集聚”效应, 北京、天津、青海等省份(自治区、直辖市)具有显著的“低-低集聚”效应。5)农业水资源经济产出因素和农业劳动力密集度因素为正向驱动因素, 农业水资源经济产出因素为中国农业碳排放增加的最主要因素; 农业生产效率因素、劳动力规模因素和农业水土匹配度因素为碳排放负向驱动因素, 其中农业生产效率因素的碳减排贡献率最高, 为中国农业碳排放减少的最主要驱动因素。基于以上结果, 本文针对中国农业碳减排提出以下建议: 政府应加大对低碳农业的投入, 支持新型肥料和新能源农机的研发, 提高水土资源利用效率。同时, 要利用农业碳排放的集聚效应, 推动农业集中发展和区域间合作, 培养新型农业人才。

     

    Abstract: Against the background of global warming, China has implemented numerous emission reduction measures. In-depth discussions of the sources, structure, drivers, and emission-reduction strategies of agricultural carbon emissions are of great significance for promoting the low-carbon transformation of China’s agricultural industry. To explore the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics and driving factors of China’s agricultural carbon emissions, this study used statistical yearbook data from 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities, excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and same as below) in China from 2000 to 2021. This study investigated the carbon emissions of water use, land use, and energy consumption from 2000 to 2021 using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) carbon emission factors and selected the carbon sources of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural films, diesel oil, irrigation, and plowing. Three subsystem-related variables were used to calculate the total annual agricultural carbon emissions of each province (autonomous regions and municipalities). Then, we analyzed the results of carbon emissions from agriculture in terms of uncertainty using Monte Carlo simulation. The spatiotemporal evolution trend and spatial correlation characteristics of agricultural carbon emissions were analyzed by combining them with Moran’s Index. The main driving factors of agricultural carbon emissions were analyzed using the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index. The results show that: 1) From the perspective of time-ordered change, the overall trend of agricultural carbon emissions is inverted “V”-shaped. 2) The provinces with large carbon emissions are mainly concentrated in the Huang-Huai-Hai Region and the central plain, whereas the western region and municipalities have lower agricultural carbon emissions. From the perspective of agricultural carbon emission sources, carbon emissions from chemical fertilizer accounted for the highest proportion. Areas with high-quality land and water resources have high agricultural carbon emissions. Changes in areas with high carbon emissions tended to expand northward. Henan, Anhui, Shandong, and other provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) show significantly high-high clustering effects, whereas Beijing, Tianjin, Qinghai, and other provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) show a significantly low-low clustering effect. 3) The economic output factor of agricultural water resources and agricultural labor intensity factor are positive driving factors, whereas the economic output factor of agricultural water resources is the most important influencing factor for the increase in agricultural carbon emissions in China. The agricultural productivity factor, labor scale factor, and agricultural water-land matching factor are the negative driving factors of carbon emissions. Among these factors, the agricultural productivity factor has the highest contribution to carbon emissions reduction and is the most important driving factor for reducing agricultural carbon emissions in China. The findings of this study provide recommendations for China’s decision-making on agricultural emissions reduction. The government should increase investment in low-carbon agriculture, support the research and development of new fertilizers and agricultural machinery, improve the efficiency of land and water resources, and enhance the quality of labor. Simultaneously, it is necessary to take advantage of the agglomeration effect of agricultural carbon emissions to promote concentrated agricultural development and interregional cooperation and cultivate new agricultural talent.
