| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set for lifecycle assessments, users should ensure they account for all inputs, including the production of chemical fertilizers and electricity. The terminal boundary of the assessment is the output of the agricultural products and pollutants from the crop planting process. Users should adhere to the principles of stratified random sampling and consider the local agricultural added value ratio when contextualizing this dataset within a larger research framework. The dataset is specific to the Ganzhou district and should be accordingly used in comparative studies or combined with other data for regional or national analysis. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This data set represents the corn production process in the Ganzhou district of Zhangye, in the Northwest of China. It is intended for the quantitative analysis of the environmental impacts of corn production, particularly concerning the carbon footprint assessment and evaluation of the resources and energy use. This data applies to agricultural research, focusing on the lifecycle impact of corn production within the rice-wheat rotation system prevalent in the downstream area of the Yangtze River. |

| General comment on data set | The article is based on research data collected from farmers, using the theory of agricultural carbon footprint and life cycle assessment to quantitatively study the carbon footprint and its composition of the rice-wheat rotation system in the downstream area of the Yangtze River. It further analyzes the factors influencing the carbon footprint. |

| Technology description including background system | LCA method is used to evaluate the agricultural system of seed corn production, which takes the whole process of product treatment from input to final output as the research object to conduct quantitative analysis and comparison, so as to evaluate the environmental impact of seed corn production [13]. In this paper, the mass of seed corn 1 t is used as the functional unit. The boundary of the system starts from the production of fertilizer and electricity, and ends from the output of agricultural products and pollutants in the crop planting process. In other words, there are two production systems, namely the agricultural material production system and the crop production system |
