Spatiotemporal dynamics of crop residue utilization drive regional carbon mitigation in China.

ABSTRACT: To achieve China's goals of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality, carbon sequestration and mitigation in agriculture and rural areas are crucial measures with significant potential. The comprehensive use of crop residue (CR) is vital in carbon sequestration and mitigation in agriculture and rural areas. This study analyzed the spatiotemporal variations in CR yields and carbon dioxide (CO₂) mitigation from the comprehensive utilization of CR in Sichuan Province, a central agricultural province in southwest China. The results are as follows: 1. Over the past 30 years, CR yields have shown a slight growth, with rapid increases in maize and rapeseed sown areas being the main driving factors. 2. From 2015 to 2022, the average utilization capacities of CR as fertil
