Macroeconomic Scenario: Business-as-Usual
The dataset refers to the production of 1000 Eucalyptus seedling. The dataset contains the production of Eucalyptus seedlings in a tree nursery for plantation in forests. The seedlings are produced in a heated greenhouse and wood wastes are bought for that. The final product is the seedlings planted in the substrate (as showed in the following picture) inside the polytubes where they are cultivated. Yield capacity is 1.3 million seedlings per month.

Polypropylene tubes with substrate are used to the cultivation and it can be reused for 6 to 8 years. However, the consumption of substrate is not included. The production steps are the following:
As data is from a LCA of MDP board production in Brazil, the original numbers had to be converted using the following information: kg of wood produce per seedling = 74.3 and kg of wood consumed to produce 1 m³ of MDP board = 687.
