Abstract:

In the context of promoting the ecological civilization in China, carbon fixation and efficiency enhancement in agricultural industry has been listed in the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals", and low-carbon agriculture has emerged accordingly. Biodiversity is the basis of ecosystem functions and services, and plays a key role in the agricultural decarbonization. Protecting biodiversity in farmland and fully exploiting its ecological effects is an important approach to achieve agricultural decarbonization. In this study, the literature from 2010 to 2022 in the database of Web of Science was selected. Using the keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis of CiteSpace bibliometric software, the international research trends and topics of biodiversity in low-carbon agriculture were analyzed, and the functions of biodiversity were summarized. The results showed that the conservation and management of biodiversity was the hot topics in low-carbon agriculture. Biological control was the main practice for biodiversity to achieve agricultural decarbonization. By evaluating the ecological value of the diversity of different biological taxa, it was found that biodiversity could increase the ecological and economic value of the agricultural production process. Future research can explore biodiversity-based multifunctional agricultural development at the ecosystem and landscape scales, thus better contributing to the successful achievement of the “dual carbon” goals.
