General comment . This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of soybeans (fresh matter).The yield is 3600 kg/ha at a moisture content at storage of 11%.
. In PR, 30.4% of soybean is produced in monoculture systems.
. The inputs of seeds, mineral fertilisers and pesticides were considered.
. Pesticide input from technosphere and emissions were considered for each active ingredient in particular with its regionalized amounts Folegatti et al. (2015), except for those not in Ecoinvent database, included as "pesticides, unspecified". Pesticide emissions estimation followed Nemecek and Schnetzer (2011), allocating emissions exclusively to soil.
. Direct field emissions were included using the recommended Ecoinvent formulas and parameters most of the time, but with important regionalizations added (see each Exchange Comment field for details).
. C binding was estimated as recommended by Nemecek and Schnetzer (2011), although IPCC doesn't consider C binding to biomass in annual crops.
. Emissions of heavy metals to soil and surface water estimated from mineral fertilisers and liming as recommended by Canals (2003) and regionalized following Folegatti et al.(2015).
. “Dry mass” and “C content” Exchange Properties for soybean product and seed were based on ecoinvent database". All other Exchange properties were assumed to be the same as in Ecoinvent Master Data, except for operations.
. Diesel consumption from operations and its emissions were calculated and included in this dataset.
. Transport of inputs is not included in this dataset because transport modelling depends on assumptions specific for each LCA study.

This activity begins with the drying of plant that remained in the field (that could be another crop of a crop system, grass or any other vegetation), followed by the soil correction (liming). This activity ends after harvest at the farm gate. |
