Use advice for data set Users of this LCA data set should ensure the boundaries of their assessment align with system boundaries focused on the entire process of open-field vegetable production, from input production and transport to farming operations. When applying this data set, considerations should include the specific regional data for the four vegetable types and take into account variations in practice that may affect greenhouse gas emissions, such as local fertilizer usage rates, diesel consumption, and pesticide application practices. The temporal relevance of data should be noted, especially since the current data pertains to the year 2016 and farming practices or input efficiencies may have changed. Additionally, while applying organic fertilizer data, users should adjust for carbon sequestration in vegetables as well as soil carbon fixation due to organic fertilizers to accurately reflect the net GHG emissions.

Data set use approval

General comment The boundary of the system is concentrated in the whole process of open field vegetable production (from sowing to harvesting), which is divided into agricultural phase and agricultural phase. The agricultural phase focuses on greenhouse gas emissions from the production and transportation of fertilizers (fertilizers and organic fertilizers), pesticides and agricultural film. The agricultural stage mainly focuses on the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the application process of fertilizer and pesticide, the diesel consumption and artificial energy consumption in the process of agricultural operation (tillage, irrigation, etc.), and the fixation of soil organic carbon caused by the net primary productivity of vegetables and the input of organic fertilizer [16].

Technical purpose This LCA data is applicable to the evaluation of the agricultural production of open-field vegetables in China, specifically for tomatoes, cucumbers, Chinese cabbage, and radishes. It encompasses the full cycle of vegetable production from the raw material inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides to the farming practices including cultivation and irrigation, as well as transportation. It is used to assess the net greenhouse gas emissions associated with these agricultural processes and can serve as a valuable resource for sustainability studies, policy-making, and environmental impact assessments within the agricultural sector.
