Abstract:

Based on the China Knowledge Network Literature Retrieval System (CNKI) database, 262 Chinese core literatures related to the field of agricultural carbon emissions were retrieved from 2019−2023, and the research status, hotspots and development trends in the field of agricultural carbon emissions in China were analyzed by using the CiteSpace visualization and analysis software, knowledge mapping. The results showed that the research results in the field of agricultural carbon emissions in China continued to increase. The keywords of carbon emission, low carbon agriculture, carbon neutralization and carbon peaking appeared 43 times, 20 times, 14 times and 13 times respectively, which were the hot spots in the field of agricultural carbon emission in China at present. The total amount of agricultural carbon emissions showed a downward or upward trend, which was mainly affected by the study area as well as different influencing factors, such as agricultural factor inputs, cultivation and livestock development. Under China's “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goal, future carbon emission reduction, agricultural science and technology innovation, and multidisciplinary cross−fertilization to promote the optimization of agricultural industrial structure are the future research directions in the field of agricultural carbon emission.

Key words: Agriculture, Carbon emissions, CiteSpace, Knowledge mapping, Visualisation and analysis
