摘要

区域间粮食贸易体系形成了复杂的水碳耦合网络,加剧了水分配和碳转移的空间差异。以往的研究主要关注虚拟水交易在粮食安全和农业用水中的作用,但忽视了行业间“水-碳”转移机制。本研究提出了虚拟水流溢出效率和潜在碳中和效益两个创新指标,从而拓展了分析视角,揭示了区域间水碳流动机制。本研究将社会公平原则与优化的最小成本最大流量算法相结合,构建了区域-产业联系尺度下中国粮食相关虚拟水碳流的时空分析框架。建立了“区域减碳-提高水利用效率”的协同优化方法,实现了资源环境系统双优化路径的精准识别。结果表明,中国水稻、小麦和玉米的虚拟水流量增加了18.2%,虚拟碳流量增加了18.3%。东北成为主要的虚拟水出口国,而沿海省份则转向净进口,加剧了区域水资源差距。本研究阐明了由区域粮食贸易引发的产业内资源重组所带来的巨大碳效益。这些效益远远超过以往仅从区域间碳减排中得出的估计,从而挑战了传统核算框架对粮食贸易碳减排潜力的系统性低估。关键路径以冀津和晋粤为双资源环境最优。这些途径促进了大规模农业贸易体系内的水碳建设性合作,从而为可持续的粮食-水-碳关系管理提供了可行的战略。

Analysis of water-carbon spatiotemporal linkages and potential carbon neutrality benefits in China at the regional-industrial composite scale based on virtual water trade

Analysis of water-carbon spatiotemporal linkages and potential carbon neutrality benefits in China at the regional-industrial composite scale based on virtual water trade
The interregional grain trade system fosters a complex water‑carbon coupled network, which exacerbates spatial disparities in both water allocation and carbon transfer. Previous studies focused on the virtual water trade's role in food security and agricultural water use but overlooked inter-industry “water–carbon” transfer mechanisms. This study pioneers two innovative metrics: Virtual water flow spillover efficiency and potential carbon neutrality benefit, thereby expanding the analytical perspective to unravel the interregional water‑carbon flow mechanisms within regions. This study constructs a spatiotemporal analytical framework for China's grain-related virtual water‑carbon flows at a regional-industrial nexus scale by integrating social equity principles with an optimized minimum cost maximum flow algorithm. And establishes a synergistic optimization methodology for “regional carbon reduction - water use efficiency enhancement”, enabling precise identification of dual optimization pathways for resource-environment systems. Results reveal that China's virtual water flow for rice, wheat, and corn increased by 18.2 %, and virtual carbon flow increased by 18.3 % totally. The northeast emerged as a major virtual water exporter, while coastal provinces shifted toward net import status, exacerbating regional water disparities. This study illuminates the substantial carbon benefits arising from intra-industrial resource restructuring triggered by regional grain trade. These benefits far surpass previous estimates derived solely from interregional carbon emission reductions, thereby challenging the conventional accounting framework for its systemic underestimation of grain trade's carbon mitigation potential. Critical pathways, notably Hebei-Tianjin and Shanxi-Guangdong, were identified as dual resource-environment optima. These pathways facilitate water‑carbon constructive collaboration within large-scale agricultural trade systems, thereby providing actionable strategies for sustainable food-water‑carbon nexus management.

期刊介绍: Sustainable production and consumption refers to the production and utilization of goods and services in a way that benefits society, is economically viable, and has minimal environmental impact throughout its entire lifespan. Our journal is dedicated to publishing top-notch interdisciplinary research and practical studies in this emerging field. We take a distinctive approach by examining the interplay between technology, consumption patterns, and policy to identify sustainable solutions for both production and consumption systems.
