Temporal characteristics and influencing factors of agricultural carbon emission in Jiangxi province of China

As a large agricultural country, China should pay more attention to the carbon emission in agriculture in the context of achieving the goal of ‘peak carbon and carbon neutrality’. This paper measures the agricultural carbon emissions and analyzes its temporal characteristics in Jiangxi from 2000 to 2019, examines the influencing factors using Kaya’s constant equation. The study shows that: (1) from 2000 to 2019, Jiangxi’s agricultural carbon emissions show a general upward trend, but the growth rate tends to slow down gradually; (2) the factors of agricultural production efficiency, agricultural industrial structure and agricultural labor force have a negative driving effect on carbon emissions, while the factors of agricultural economic development and urbanization level have a positive driving effect on agricultural carbon emissions.
