High accuracy site-specific secondary data for mechanical field operations to support lca studies

[10.10] Methodologies to quantify the environmental impacts of mechanical field operations are widely applied, but, usually, system inputs and outputs come from international databases or literature and rarely represent the studied situation. The aim of the study was to quantify site-specific secondary data related to mechanical field operations in EU cereal cropping (from soil tillage to grain and straw transportation), paying particular attention to barley crop.
