Comentário geral sobre o conjunto de dados Acerola, or West Indian cherry (Malpighia Emarginata), is a tropical fruit native to Central America and the Caribbean. It has spread throughout South America, adapting to cultivation in tropical and subtropical climates. Acerola is also cultivated in countries such as Mexico, China, and parts of Southeast Asia and India, but Brazil is one of the world's leading centers for the cultivation, consumption, and export of this fruit. The country has a wide variety of registered cultivars, catering to different processors/consumers. For example, some varieties are suitable for fruit processing, others for fresh consumption, the manufacture of dietary supplements, etc. (Miskinis et al., 2023; Olędzki, Harasym, 2024). Nationally, the Northeast region accounts for the largest volume and value of production, accounting for over 60% of national production. The state of Pernambuco (21,351 t) is the largest national producer in tons, followed by Ceará (7,578 t), Sergipe (5,427 t) and Piauí (4,690 t) (IBGE, 2017). The Sub-middle São Francisco Valley region is one of Brazil's largest fruit-growing hubs. It is located in the semi-arid region of Northeastern Brazil and covers an area of 125,755 km², extending from western Pernambuco to northern Bahia. The inventory details all inputs and emissions related to the establishment and maintenance of a acerola orchard over its 10-year lifespan, on a 1-hectare area, considering implementation, maintenance, and end-of-life. The stages from land clearing and preparation to harvest, for the year 2010, were included, encompassing aspects such as seeds, irrigation (with energy and water), transportation of inputs to the farm and on-farm transportation, and the treatment of waste and wastewater/effluents. This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of fresh acerola (Malpighia emarginata, types Costa Rica, Flor Branca, Okinawa, Sertaneja BRS 152 e Junco), unpackaged, at the farm gate.

Comentário geral In the Ecoinvent database, version 3.7, copper oxychloride is only available as elementary flux emissions. Therefore, the fungicide copper oxide was selected due to its similarity to the process. Calgaro and Braga (2012) state that most pathogens that infect acerola trees can be controlled with copper-based fungicides, such as copper oxychloride.

Comentário geral The process recovered in Ecoinvent, version 3.7, was similar to the Polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ether that makes up the Iharaguen-S spreader (selected as the basis for identifying the composition) (Iharabras Indústrias Químicas, 2017). Calgaro and Braga (2012) highlight the need for good spreader coverage and persistence for pest and disease control, given the climatic conditions of the Sub-Middle São Francisco, with irregular rainfall and high solar radiation. Thus, the selected formulation meets the requirements by forming a silicone film, which increases plant longevity. Calgaro and Braga (2012) indicate that the total spreader used in the orchard's 10 years is 10 liters, which was converted to kg (unit of measurement used in the OpenLCA software) considering a density of 0.97 kg/L (Stepan, 2023).

Comentário geral Some pesticides were not available in the database (with the exception of mineral oil, which was only available as an elementary flow emission), so the selected process (pesticide, unspecified) encompasses the sum of all products. Calgaro and Braga (2012) indicate that the total amounts of trichlorfon, mineral oil, and carbamate used in the orchard's 10-year history are 29, 10, and 19 liters, respectively. These quantities were converted to kg (the unit of measurement used in the OpenLCA software), using a density of 0.822 g/mL, 0.87 g/cm3, and 1.0644 g/mL, respectively (Allvet Química, 2004; Almad Agroindustrial, 2016; FMC Química, 2021).

Comentário geral Calculation based on the Brazilian Land Use Change method by Novaes et al. (2017) and Embrapa (2020), in which the percentage of expansion of acerola cultivation should be relativized by the functional unit. The method's own database contains the expansion percentages of different crops, for which acerola was not available. Therefore, the percentage of 14.6% was considered, as it is an average value for some important fruit crops in the region. Natural vegetation use conversion data from 2000 to 2019 for grapes (13.3%), passion fruit (13.56%), mango (15.20%), orange (16.33%), and guava (14.4%) were used to estimate acerola. Thus, the estimated conversion percentage was divided by the yield of 167,000 kg/ha (0.146/167,000).

Comentário geral Calculation based on Novaes et al. (2017), using the following formula: TUT = (Transformed area) / (Harvest yield * Crop lifespan) Where, TUT = land use transformation (m3). Transformed area = area cultivated with acerola (10,000 m2 or 1 ha). Harvest yield = 167,000 kg/ha, obtained from Calgaro and Braga (2012). Perennial crop lifespan = 10 years, based on Barboza et al.

Comentário geral The choice of the deep plowing system was based on the recommendation of Calgaro and Braga (2012), which indicates the need for plowing with subsoiling. According to the process retrieved from Ecoinvent, version 3.7, the plowing time is 1.19 hours per 1 ha. According to data from Calgaro and Braga (2012), this soil preparation process for an acerola orchard requires 4 tractor hours (which occurs only in the first year). Using this data, a proportion calculation was performed to obtain the value in hectares to be included in this inventory. This is necessary to correct the data for Brazilian conditions due to the differences between the two processes, which include soil conditions, the tractor driver's technical skill, and weather conditions that influence the productivity of the tractor driver and the tractor.

Comentário geral It was assumed that all fertilizers, pesticides, and soil conditioners are produced in the Camaçari industrial complex, Bahia (505 km from the farms), and are transported by truck to their intended use and returned empty. According to the Camaçari Industrial Development Committee (COFIC) (2024?), some of the 76 companies located in the industrial complex produce the inputs used in the acerola orchard, including Bayer, Cibrafértil, Copenor, Flopam, Proquigel, Proquigel Candeias, Sulfabrás, Timac, and Vamtec. It was assumed that the seeds and organic fertilizer are produced within the irrigation complex itself, and thus, their transportation was disregarded.

Comentário geral Harvesting is done manually, with acerola cherries stored in polyvinyl chloride boxes, as observed during the fruit receiving stage at fruit pulp companies. According to Dos Santos et al. (2024), manual harvesting occurs through temporary labor, where payment is made according to the number of boxes harvested. Based on Müller Carneiro et al. (2019), it was assumed that planting occurs within the farm's boundaries, which is square (1000 m x 1000 m), and that workers place the boxes in its center. Thus, a tractor and trailer transport the acerola cherries from the central location to the shipping area, a 500 m (0.5 km) journey.

Comentário geral According to Nemecek et al. (2019), the calculation for standard fertilizer packaging assumes 0.002 kg of high-density polyethylene per kg of dry fertilizer. The authors assume 0.5 kg of plant nutrients per kg of dry fertilizer. Considering the fertilizers used in acerola production throughout the orchard's life (organic, chemical, and foliar fertilizers, as well as soil amendments), the total weight is 129,233.79 kg, which is the weight of the plant nutrients. The dry fertilizer mass was obtained using the assumption that 129,233.79 kg was divided by 0.5, resulting in 258,467.58 kg. From this value, the quantity of packages was calculated, multiplying the value of dry fertilizer by 0.002, being 516.93516 kg or 0.51693516 tons.

Comentário geral De acordo com Nemecek et al. (2019), o cálculo da embalagem padrão de pesticidas considera que há 0,058 kg de Polietileno de Alta Densidade por kg de agroquímico líquido. Os autores definem o pressuposto de que há 0,5 kg de ingrediente ativo por kg de produto líquido. Considerando os pesticidas utilizados na produção da acerola (Fungicida, espalhante defensivo, inseticidas e formicida), têm-se o total de 176,4616 litros. O volume de produto líquido foi obtido usando o pressuposto, em que foi dividido o valor de 176,4616 litros de ingrediente ativo por 0,5 obtendo-se o valor de 352,9232 litros. A partir desse valor, foi calculada a quantidade de embalagens, multiplicando o valor de produto líquido por 0,058, sendo de 20,4695456 kg ou 0,0204695456 toneladas.

Comentário geral De acordo com o processo recuperado no Ecoinvent (de acordo com Chagas et al. (2018)), versão 3.7, o tempo da calagem é de 0,46 horas por 1 ha. Conforme dados de Calgaro e Braga (2012), são necessárias 2 horas de trator neste processo para a preparação do solo de um pomar de acerola. Com os dados, foi realizado o cálculo de proporção para a obtenção do valor em hectare a ser inserido neste inventário. Isso é necessário para corrigir o dado para condições específicas do Nordeste do Brasil devido as diferenças entre os dois processos, que inclui as condições do solo, a habilidade técnica do tratorista e as condições climáticas que influenciam na produtividade do tratorista e do tratar.

A = burned area [ha], which is 0.2 ha for the study (20% of the biomass burned). Mb = mass of fuel available for combustion (tons.ha-1); and Cf = combustion factor (dimensionless). According to IPCC (2006), the Mb*Cf value is 42.2 kg/ha. Gef = gas emission factor (g gas.kg fuel-1), being 1,613 g GHG/kg (CO2), 0.21 g GHG/kg (N2O), 2.3 g GHG/kg (CH4), 3.9 g GHG/kg (NOx) and 65 g GHG/kg (CO).

(2019), using the following formulas: M_(soil i)=(∑〖inputs〗_i-∑〖outputs〗_i)*A_i M soil i = total emissions of heavy metal i to the soil (mg. (ha.year)-1). The final value was converted to kg and considered the 10-year duration of the orchard. Ai = Allocation factor for the share of agricultural inputs in the total inputs for heavy metal. Calculated using the formula: A_i = M_(agro i)/((M_(agro i)+ M_(deposition i))) M agro i = Total heavy metal input from agricultural production (mg (ha.year)-1) (organic and chemical fertilizer), calculated as follows: The heavy metal composition in urea (46% N) is: Cd = 0.11 mg/kg N, Cu = 13.04 mg/kg N, Zn = 95.65 mg/kg N, Pb = 2.39 mg/kg N, Ni = 4.35 mg/kg N, and Cr = 4.35 mg/kg N (Nemecek et al., 2019).

The total amount of simple superphosphate, applied in 10 years, is 3,950 kg (750.5 kg of P2O5), in which the amounts of heavy metal are Cd=39,493.815 mg(ha.year-1), Cu=90,845.025 mg(ha.year-1), Zn=639,893.815 mg(ha.year-1), Pb=434,502.475 mg(ha.year-1), Ni=78,997.63 mg(ha.year-1) and Cr=264,258.555 mg(ha.year-1). The composition of heavy material in potassium chloride (60% K2O) is: Cd=0.10 mg/kg K2O, Cu=8.33 mg/kg K2O, Zn=76.67 mg/kg K2O, Pb=9.17 mg/kg K2O, Ni=3.50 mg/kg K2O and Cr=3.33 mg/kg K2O (Nemecek et al., 2019).

The 10-year orchard period was considered. Therefore, the allocation factor Ai value for each heavy metal is: Cd = 0.856, Cu = 0.955, Zn = 0.741, Pb = 0.724, Ni = 0.711, Cr = 0.896, and Hg = 0.894. ∑ inputs i = total quantity of all inputs to the soil (organic and chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and deposition) kg(ha.year)-1, with the same value of M agro i calculated. Thus, we have: Cd = 41,675.29 kg/ha; Cu = 509,502.2 kg/ha; Zn = 2,580,623.12 kg/ha; Pb = 491,116.685 kg/ha; Ni = 134,989.255 kg/ha; Cr = 315,791.58 kg/ha; and Hg = 4,198.5 kg/ha. ∑ outputs i = total quantity of all outputs to the soil (leaching and erosion). For leaching, the values ​​were calculated (in topic 44), being: Cd=0.000428 kg/ha; Cr=0.19 kg/ha; Cu=0.03438 kg/ha; Pb=0.004344 kg/ha; Hg=0.00001162 kg/ha; Ni=0 kg/ha and Zn=0.24453 kg/ha.

Comentário geral Based on Nemecek et al. (2019) and Emmenegger et al. (2018), it was assumed that all fertilizers, pesticides, and the agricultural amendment (or its active ingredient) were fully emitted to the soil. According to Barizon et al. (2021), a project from the Technical University of Denmark, called OLCA-Pest Project, launched a platform that allowed the quantification of pesticide emissions in LCA studies for the global and Brazilian contexts, but it was discontinued due to inconsistencies (information obtained via email). +++++++++++ Heavy metal emissions to soil were calculated based on Nemecek et al. (2019), using the following formulas: M_(soil i)=(∑〖inputs〗_i-∑〖outputs〗_i)*A_i M soil i = total emissions of heavy metal i to the soil (mg. (ha.year)-1). The final value was converted to kg and considered the 10-year duration of the orchard. Ai = Allocation factor for the share of agricultural inputs in the total inputs for heavy metal. Calculated using the formula: A_i = M_(agro i)/((M_(agro i)+ M_(deposition i))) M agro i = Total heavy metal input from agricultural production (mg (ha.year)-1) (organic and chemical fertilizer), calculated as follows: The heavy metal composition in urea (46% N) is: Cd = 0.11 mg/kg N, Cu = 13.04 mg/kg N, Zn = 95.65 mg/kg N, Pb = 2.39 mg/kg N, Ni = 4.35 mg/kg N, and Cr = 4.35 mg/kg N (Nemecek et al., 2019). The total amount of urea applied over 10 years is 2,750 kg (1,265 kg of N), where the amounts of heavy metal are Cd=139.15 mg(ha.year-1), Cu=16,495.4 mg(ha.year-1), Zn=120,989.75 mg(ha.year-1), Pb=3,023.35 mg(ha.year-1), Ni=5,502.75 mg(ha.year-1) and Cr=5,502.75 mg(ha.year-1).

The total amount of simple superphosphate, applied in 10 years, is 3,950 kg (750.5 kg of P2O5), in which the amounts of heavy metal are Cd=39,493.815 mg(ha.year-1), Cu=90,845.025 mg(ha.year-1), Zn=639,893.815 mg(ha.year-1), Pb=434,502.475 mg(ha.year-1), Ni=78,997.63 mg(ha.year-1) and Cr=264,258.555 mg(ha.year-1). The composition of heavy material in potassium chloride (60% K2O) is: Cd=0.10 mg/kg K2O, Cu=8.33 mg/kg K2O, Zn=76.67 mg/kg K2O, Pb=9.17 mg/kg K2O, Ni=3.50 mg/kg K2O and Cr=3.33 mg/kg K2O (Nemecek et al., 2019). The total amount of potassium chloride applied over 10 years is 2,550 kg (1,530 kg of K2O), where the amounts of heavy metal are Cd=153 mg(ha.year-1), Cu=12,744.9 mg(ha.year-1), Zn=117,305.1 mg(ha.year-1), Pb=14,020.1 mg(ha.year-1), Ni=5,355 mg(ha.year-1) and Cr=5,094.9 mg(ha.year-1). The composition of heavy material in liquid cattle manure (9% dry matter) is: Cd=0.18 mg/kg dry matter, Cu=37.1 mg/kg dry matter, Zn=162.2 mg/kg dry matter, Pb=3.77 mg/kg dry matter, Ni=4.3 mg/kg dry matter, Cr=3.9 mg/kg dry matter and Hg=0.4 mg/kg dry matter (Nemecek et al., 2019). The total amount of cattle manure, applied in 10 years, is 116,625 kg (10,496.25 kg of dry matter), in which the amounts of heavy metal are Cd=1,889.325 mg(ha.year-1), Cu=389,416.875 mg(ha.year-1), Zn=1,702,434.45 mg(ha.year-1), Pb=39,570.76 mg(ha.year-1), Ni=45,133.875 mg(ha.year-1), Cr=40,935.375 mg(ha.year-1) and Hg=4,198.5 mg(ha.year-1).

Comentário geral Calculation based on Nemecek et al. (2019), which describes the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) model of the European Environment Agency (EEA) as suitable for Ecoinvent processes. Therefore, the calculation formula used was: NH_3= 17/14*∑_(m-1)^M(EFa_m*p+EFb_m*(1-p))*N_(min,m) Where: NH3 = ammonia emissions after mineral fertilizer application [kg NH3]. m = fertilizer type (M = number of fertilizer types). In this case, only urea was used, as established by the method used, eliminating the need for summation. EFam = emission factor in soils with pH <=7 [kg NH3-N/kg N]. Tabled value of 0.131, recovered considering the region (tropical climate) and fertilizer type (urea). EFbm = emission factor in soils with pH>7 [kg NH3-N/kg N]. Disregarded for the study context, as there is no soil with an alkaline pH. p = fraction of soils with pH <= 7 [%/100]. 1 (100%) was considered for the study context, which has acidic soils. N min, m = mineral fertilizer application [kg N]. Same amount as the input (2,750 kg).

Comentário geral Nitrous oxide emissions to air were calculated based on Nemecek et al. (2019) N2O = 44/28*(0.01*(N tot+N cr+N som+14/17*〖NH〗_3+14/46*〖NO〗_x+0.0075*14/62*〖NO〗_3) Where: N2O = N2O emission [kg N2O ha-1]. Ntot = total nitrogen in mineral and organic fertilizers [kg N ha-1], with 46% N from the 2,750 kg of urea used (1,265 kg N/ha-1) and 2.3 kg N from the 125 m3 of manure (287.5 kg N/ha-1). Totaling 1,552.5 kg N/ha-1. Ncr = nitrogen contained in crop residues [kg N ha-1]. Barbosa et al. (2017) calculated the nitrogen content for acerola trees as 1.66% per kg of fruit, corresponding to 2,772.2 kg N ha-1. Nsom = nitrogen from soil organic matter mineralization [kg N ha-1]. A value of 1,350 kg N/ha was considered, according to experimental data from Müller Carneiro et al. (2019). NH3 = nitrogen losses in the form of ammonia [kg NH3 ha-1]. According to the previous calculation (topic 35), this was 437.74 kg NH3 ha-1. NOx = nitrogen losses in the form of nitrogen oxides [kg NO2 ha-1]. According to the previous calculation (topic 36), this was 112.831 kg NO2 ha-1. NO3 = nitrogen losses in the form of nitrate [kg NO3 ha-1]. In this regard, a change was made to the formula, disregarding the NO3 to N conversion factor. (14/62), since the value of 179,315.37 kg N/ha was previously calculated (topic 41).

Comentário geral Calculation based on Nemecek et al. (2019), which describes the SQCB-NO3 model by Faist Emmenegger et al. (2009) as the most appropriate for non-European countries. The calculation formula used was: N = 21.37 + P/(c*L)*[0.0037*S+0.0000601*Norg-0.00362*U] Where: N = NO3 - leached N [kg N/(ha.year)]. P = precipitation + irrigation [mm/year]. The average annual precipitation is 567 mm per year in the São Francisco Valley (Teixeira and Filho, 2021), and irrigation in the acerola orchard over 10 years is 162,000 m3 (16,200 m3/year) (Calgaro and Braga, 2012). The irrigation value is divided by 1 hectare (10,000 m2) to obtain the water depth in meters (1.62 meters or 1,620 mm/year). c = clay content [%]. Based on Cunha et al. (2008), it was assumed that acerola trees are grown in Quartzips (6%), Ultisols (20%), and Latosols (15%) soils, so the average value of their clay content (14%) was used. L = rooting depth [m]. According to Calgaro and Braga (2012), the effective depth of the acerola tree root system is 0.6 m. S = nitrogen supply through fertilizer [kg N/ha]. Value calculated (topic 36) based on the amount of nitrogen from urea application, 1,265 kg/N ha-1, and from cattle manure, 575 kg N/ha-1. Norg = nitrogen in organic matter [kg N/ha]. A value of 1,350 kg N/ha was considered, according to experimental data from Müller Carneiro et al. (2019). U = nitrogen uptake by the crop [kg N/ha]. The final value was estimated at 0.77 kg N/ha. For this purpose, data from Ferreira et al. (2019) were used, who calculated nitrogen uptake at 114.5 mg N/plant-1, considering the 670 plants in the orchard.

Comentário geral Some of the water used for orchard irrigation is emitted to groundwater due to percolation. The formula described in Nemecek et al. (2019) was used to calculate the emitted amount: 〖Emission〗_(subwater)=0.2*((〖ET〗_irr/〖EF〗_irr ) - 〖ET〗_irr ) Where: Ewater = water emitted to groundwater [m3/t of acerola]. ETirr = Irrigation evapotranspiration [m3/t of acerola], being 197.64 m3 (calculated in topic 40) divided by 167 t of acerola produced. The total value is 1.1835 m3/t. EFirr = Irrigation efficiency factor [dimensionless], which is a tabulated value for the type of irrigation used. According to Calgaro and Braga (2012), the micro-sprinkler irrigation method is the most common for the acerola tree, which has an efficiency factor of 0.75, as recovered in Nemecek et al. (2019).

Where: S_er=R*k*LS*c1*c2*P Where: R = Erosivity Factor [MJ mm ha-1 h-1 yr-1], which is calculated using the formula: R={█(0.0483*P^(1.61) if P≤850 mm@587.8-1.219*P+0.004105*P^2 if P>850 mm)┤ P=precipitation+irrigation*0.1 P = annual precipitation [mm/yr-1], where 567 mm/yr is precipitation and 1,620 mm/yr is irrigation, as calculated in topic 41. Therefore, the final calculated value is 2,426 mm/yr-1. The Erosivity Factor R was calculated at 4371.14 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 yr-1. k = Erodibility factor [t h MJ-1 mm-1], 0.0026. LS = Slope factor [dimensionless], 100. Calculated by Müller Carneiro et al. (2019). c1 = Cultivation factor [dimensionless], 0.1. c2 = Tillage factor [dimensionless], 0.25. P = Practice factor [dimensionless], 1. Using the data obtained, the amount of eroded soil (Ser) was calculated at 28,410 kg/(ha.a). Pcs = P content in the topsoil [kg P/kg soil]. The average value of 0.00095 kg/kg was used. Fr = P enrichment factor (-). The average value of 1.86 was used, which takes into account the fact that eroded soil particles contain more P than the average soil. Ferw = fraction of eroded soil that reaches the river [dimensionless]. The average value of 0.2 was used.

Comentário geral Some of the water used for orchard irrigation is emitted to surface water due to percolation. The formula described in Nemecek et al. (2019) was used to calculate the emitted quantity: 〖Emission〗_(supply water)=0.8*((〖ET〗_irr/〖EF〗_irr ) - 〖ET〗_irr ) Where: Esupply water = water emitted to groundwater [m3/t of acerola]. ETirr = Irrigation evapotranspiration [m3/t of acerola], being 197.64 m3 (calculated in topic 40) divided by 167 t of acerola produced. The total value is 1.1835 m3/t. EFirr = Irrigation efficiency factor [dimensionless], which is a tabulated value for the type of irrigation used. According to Calgaro and Braga (2012), the micro-sprinkler irrigation method is the most common for the acerola tree, which has an efficiency factor of 0.75, as recovered in Nemecek et al. (2019).

Comentário geral The density of cherry wood (600 kg/m3) was considered in the calculation (Carvalho, 2007), since no studies indicating the density of acerola wood were found. To this end, the volume of wood of a tree, in m3, was calculated, considering the trunk and branches as a cylinder. It was estimated that the trunk radius is 6 cm and its height, as defined in Calgaro and Braga (2012), is 2 to 3 meters. The branch measurements were estimated at 2 cm (radius) and 1.2 meters (length). Thus, the estimated weight of the wood of an acerola tree was 23.94 kg.

Comentário geral Based on Nemecek et al. (2019) and Emmenegger et al. (2018), it was assumed that all fertilizers, pesticides, and the agricultural amendment (or its active ingredient) were fully emitted to the soil. According to Barizon et al. (2021), a project from the Technical University of Denmark, called OLCA-Pest Project, launched a platform that allowed the operationalization of pesticide emissions quantification in LCA studies for the global and Brazilian contexts, but it was discontinued due to inconsistencies (information obtained via email).
