“…This finding is consistent with the results of Wang et al and Cheng et al [63,64], who identified that industrialization and urbanization as single factors impact carbon balance. The implementation of these three modernizations leads to a rise in population and consumption demand, consequently increasing energy consumption and dampening the carbon balance [29]. Further investigation into spatial spillover effects reveals heterogeneity in how agricultural modernization, industrialization, and urbanization impact neighboring carbon balances.…”

“…Urbanization emerges as a prominent human activity influencing ecosystems and social systems [37,38]. The intensified land use and socio-economic activities associated with urbanization contribute to increased carbon emissions, while urban expansion diminishes natural landscape areas, affecting carbon sink functionality [29]. However, new urbanization initiatives can also enhance ecological environments and positively influence carbon balance evolution [39].…”

“…Existing research indicates that, on the one hand, the beneficial effects on carbon sinks resulting from agricultural modernization, emphasizing forest preservation and conservation, as well as from industrialization and urbanization involving urban greening, are noteworthy [25,26]. Conversely, the progression of the three modernizations inevitably triggers a range of environmental challenges, such as land degradation, environmental pollution [27,28], and heightened land use intensity [29], which severely hinder the realization of carbon sink functions. In summary, while the three modernizations significantly impact carbon emissions and carbon sinks, their effect on carbon balance remains unclear.…”

Exploring the impact of economic modernization on carbon balance is an essential endeavor to achieve carbon neutrality and combat climate change. However, the spatial impact of economic modernization on carbon balance remains ambiguous. Therefore, this study aims to explore the spatial spillover effects of agricultural modernization, industrialization, and urbanization on carbon balance during the economic modernization process in China, taking 30 provinces and cities in China as examples from 2010 to 2021. This study utilizes the spatial Durbin model to derive the following results: In the past decade, the carbon balance ratio has shown a fluctuating and decreasing dynamic evolution trend. There is an increase in regions with serious carbon deficits. Further investigation into the spatial spillover effect of carbon balance unveils that for every 1% increase in the carbon balance ratio of a province, neighboring provinces experience a decrease of 0.833%. Additionally, the spatial spillover effects of the three modernizations in China on the carbon balance ratio behave differently. Agricultural modernization and urbanization demonstrate negative spatial spillover effects on the carbon balance in neighboring regions, while industrialization exerts a significant positive spatial spillover effect on the carbon balance of neighboring regions. Regarding control variables, the level of innovation solely contributes to local carbon balance realization without generating a trickle-down effect, whereas infrastructure development operates inversely. At the same time, there are differences in the spatial effects of agricultural modernization and industrialization on the carbon balance between the eastern region and the central and western regions. The study underscores the importance of economic modernization and development processes focusing on fostering synergistic growth between economic and environmental benefits within both local and neighboring areas.
