- Abstract
Agricultural non-point source pollution is mainly caused by the improper utilization of agricultural waste, and thus agricultural waste recycling is considered the main method for reducing the extent of such pollution and ensuring the safety of agricultural resource utilization and agricultural ecological environment. To reduce agricultural non-point source pollution, the carbon emissions of agricultural cotton straw waste in China’s South Xinjiang cotton region from 2006 to 2015 were estimated by measuring resource stocks and using different utilization methods. Results show that the carbon emissions of cotton straw with different usages are expressed as follows: fertilizer, straw wood burning, straw burning, straw, straw feed, and straw making biogas. The improvement on agricultural waste recycling mode effectively reduced the agricultural non-point source pollution and the intensity of carbon emission. The conclusions provide a reference for improving the utilization mode of agricultural wastes and improving the recycling of agricultural wastes.
