Fallow time considered in v3?

Hello,

Does Ecoinvent v3 consider the fallow time before crop cultivation as well as land cultivation time itself for the land occupation in m2.y?

In the v2 documentation, it seems that Ecoinvent only considers the area*time of the crop (from sowing to harvesting)?

Thank you very much

Dear user,

 

Thank you for your question. Fallow time is generally not considered for land occupation. For more information on how a specific value for land occupation was derived please refer to the exchange comment or the documentation of the dataset, e.g. general comment.

 

 

Kind regards,
