Impact of Agricultural Machinery Services on Agricultural Carbon Reduction in China
Agricultural carbon emissions are one of the main sources of greenhouse gases.Clarifying the growth logic of agricultural carbon emissions is conducive to promoting carbon reduction.Based on the non-point source data of 31 provinces(cities)and autonomous regions in China from 2011 to 2021,the panel dynamic system GMM model was used to systematically analyze the impact of agricultural machinery services on agricultural car-bon emission reduction.The results showed that:(1)Agricultural machinery services had a significant inhibitory effect on agricultural carbon emissions.For every 1 increase in agricultural machinery service level,agricultural carbon emissions will decrease by 0.113.(2)Agricultural machinery services can achieve carbon reduction in agriculture by adjusting the planting structure.(3)Agricultural machinery services had a significant inhibitory effect on agricultural carbon emissions in major grain producing areas,while their inhibitory effect on agricultural carbon emissions in non major grain producing areas was not significant.With the continuous improvement of agricultural machinery service level,the inhibitory effect of agricultural machinery services on agricultural carbon emissions will gradually increase.The countermeasures and suggestions for optimizing agricul-tural machinery and equipment,adjusting agricultural planting structure,and strengthening communication and cooperation were proposed.
