Opis

This book consists of evaluating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and environmental impacts on corn grain and stover production systems by using two crop systems and investigating the energy dynamics and global warming potential (GWP) of corn grain and stover production systems in a corn field in semi-arid conditions. This research focused only on the agricultural process, the functional unit was defined as dry biomass and 1 kg/ha of dry grain and dry stover.
