Spatial temporal trends and inequality in agricultural eco-efficiency under carbon constraints in China by Shuaibang Fan, Hongyu Lin, Na Luo, Herbert Sima, Yanping Liu

“…The key findings include (1) The Songhua River Basin shows significantly higher eco-efficiency (mean: 0.718) than the Yellow River (mean: 0.559) and Yangtze River Basins (mean: 0.587), with distinct evolutionary patterns; (2) Long-term evolution reflects a bipolar pattern with spatial agglomeration disparities; (3) Positive spatial spillover effects are evident in regions with efficiency levels between 0.4 and 0.9, with inter-regional differences and super-variable density as significant spatial variation sources. …”
