Abstract:

This paper takes the Suzhou City, Anhui Province as a example, the 2004-2009 agricultural carbon emissions were estimated based on six major aspects of the carbon source of agriculture production.The result shows that Suzhou's carbon emission is on the rising trend since 2004. Suzhou's agricultural carbon emissions and intensity's average annual growth rate were 3.68% and 3.49% respectively.Factors decomposition research has been approached based on Kaya equation, and the result indicates that efficiency factor, structural factor and labor scale factor restrict the growth of carbon emission, and it already realized carbon emission reduction during 2004 to 2009. Agricultural economy development has added more carbon emissions.
