Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope Human use of land areas leads to impacts on nature in several ways. Within the framework of the UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative,
it was stated that life cycle assessment (LCA) of land use should assess at least the impact on biodiversity, the impact on
biotic production, and the impact on the regulating functions of the natural environment. This study focuses on the climatic
impact of land use as determined by the CO2 transfers between vegetation/soil and the atmosphere in the course of terrestrial release and re-storage of carbon. |
