Abstract

To further study the spatial distribution and dynamic evolution of carbon emissions from animal husbandry in Shandong Province, the panel data of 16 prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province from 2001 to 2022 were used to measure the carbon emissions of animal husbandry and the carbon emission intensity of animal husbandry. Based on the combination of space, kernel density estimation, and LMDI decomposition model, the spatial and temporal evolution of carbon emissions from animal husbandry in Shandong Province and its driving factors were investigated. The results show that: (1) The total amount of animal husbandry carbon emissions in Shandong Province showed a fluctuating downward trend, with a decrease of 10.10% during the investigation period, showing a peripheral-agglomeration distribution pattern. The carbon emission intensity showed a gradual downward trend, with an average annual decline of 7.47%, showing stepped distribution characteristics of high in the west and low in the east. (2) The difference in carbon emissions of animal husbandry among cities in Shandong Province increased first and then decreased, and the growth distribution was basically in the form of “bimodal”, showing a polarization pattern. (3) The intensity effect has the most obvious inhibitory effect on the carbon emission of animal husbandry; the effect of agricultural structure changes from a promoting effect to an inhibiting effect. The inhibitory effect of the industrial structure effect is second only to the intensity effect; the economic effect has the greatest promoting effect; and the promotion effect of the population size effect is small.
