[Display omitted] • Exploring the industrial water-land-energy-carbon interaction help promote resource conservation and low-carbon development. • Constructing evaluation indicators and decomposition model to assess the carbon emission effect of industrial water and land use. • Industrial carbon emission intensity of water and land use in China increases, and inter-provincial difference expands. • Industrial matching index of water and land resources in China presenting great spatial agglomeration. • Matching index of water and land resources is the main inhibitory factor for all provinces in China. The industrial production requires the input of water, land and energy, and the water-land-energy interaction generates carbon emissions. Investigating the industrial water-land-energy-carbon nexus and exploring the influencing factors of the carbon emissions help promote the intensive use of water resources, land resources, and energy, as well as the low-carbon development of industry. This paper applied kernel density estimation and spatial auto-correlation analysis to explore the spatio-temporal variation of industrial carbon emission effect of water and land use and the industrial matching status of water and land resources in China, and then analyzes the influencing factors to industrial carbon emissions by introducing water and land resource factor into Kaya identity and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) model. The main conclusions are: (1) From 2006 to 2020, China's industrial carbon emissions increased by 82.02%. The industrial carbon emission intensity of water use (CEIWU) and the industrial carbon emission intensity of land use (CEILU) increased by 158.02% and 55.53% respectively. The inter-provincial difference of CEIWU and CEILU expanded considerably, and the number of provinces with high CEILU had a large increase. (2) The industrial matching index of water and land resources (MIWL) in China showed a fluctuating downward trend, presenting great spatial clustering, and the provincial MIWL were mainly concentrated in the H-H and L-L regions. (3) The contributing and inhibitory effect of each influencing factor varied on regional and provincial level. The economic output of water use is a contributing factor to all regions and provinces, while the MIWL is an inhibitory factor to all regions and provinces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
