This study selects provincial panel data from 2011 to 2021 and employs Moran's Ⅰ index and a dual fixed-effects Spatial Durbin Model(SDM)to analyze the impact of environmental regulations on the scale of beef cattle farming in China and its spatial spillover effects based on the spatial correlation between environmental regulations and beef cattle farming.The research findings indicate that:(1)both environ-mental regulations and beef cattle farming in China exhibit significant spatial correlations,and over time,the intensity of environmental regulations and the level of beef cattle farming have increasingly clustered within provinces.(2)The impact of environmental regulations on the scale of beef cattle farming in China shows a"U-shaped"characteristic,initially inhibiting and then promoting the farming scale,along with evident spatial spillover effects.Enhancing forage production capacity,urbanization levels,and the slaugh-ter rate of beef cattle can effectively promote the scale of beef cattle farming.Based on these findings,it is suggested to strengthen environmental regulations,develop beef cattle industry clusters,and promote in-ter-regional cooperation and exchange in the beef cattle industry.
