- Abstract
Climate change directly affects agricultural production by changing temperature and precipitation patterns, and as a key input factor in modern agriculture, the efficiency of fertiliser use is closely related to climate change. Based on panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2012 to 2022, this study uses fixed effects and time trend OLS regression models to explore the direct impact of climate change on fertiliser input and the mediating role of agricultural output. The results showed that: (1) the increase of temperature significantly reduced the use of fertiliser (coefficient -5.159), but the effect of precipitation was not significant; (2) The increase of mechanisation level slightly increased the demand for fertiliser (coefficient 0.006), reflecting that technical input may stimulate the use by expanding the planting scale; (3) The amount of chemical fertiliser decreased year by year after 2013, and the decrease in 2022 was 301.43 million tons, which was related to environmental protection policies or technological progress; (4) The mediating effect of agricultural output has not been verified. The results show that climate change directly affects fertiliser input through temperature change, while policy regulation plays a significant role in reducing fertiliser use. This study provides an empirical basis for coordinating sustainable agricultural development and climate change adaptation in China.
