Abstract The thesis, based on six kinds of mainly carbon source from the agricultural inputs, calculates China’s agricultural carbon emission load from 1993 to 2008. It is found that the average annual growth rate of agriculture carbon emissions is 4.08%, while fertilizers, pesticides, diesel oil, irrigation, tillage as a result of carbon emissions an average annual increase rate was 3.45%, 4.65%, 7.20%, 4.77%, 1.22%, 0.38%, and significant regional differences in characteristics. Measurement analysis shows that from 1994 to 2008 China's carbon emissions and economic development of agriculture shows weak decoupling, decoupling the expansion of the negative connection and expansion, to expand connectivity and expansion of the main negative decoupling. Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan mainly show strong decoupling, weak decoupling, the expansion connection; Shandong, Guangxi mainly show strong decoupling, weak decoupling; Heilongjiang, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Guangdong, Sichuan mainly showed a variety of decoupling elasticity.
