Lifecycle environmental benefits of integrated rational fertilization, biochar, and constructed wetland in mitigating nutrient loading by Yu-Ning Chen, Chihhao Fan, Michal Šereš, Markéta Šerešová, Jan Vymazal, Shu-Yuan Pan

“…Similarly, these green agricultural practices (either S2 or S4) effectively reduce the overall endpoint impacts by about 47 %, with synergistic improvements, particularly in endpoint freshwater ecotoxicity and freshwater eutrophication, observed for S4 (a significant reduction of 76 %) compared to S1. Regarding the carbon footprint, the production of plums using conventional agriculture emits ∼300 kg CO2-eq per ton-plum, whereas using green agricultural practices results in only ∼138 kg CO2-eq per ton-plum, representing a reduction of 45.8 % in greenhouse gas emissions. …”
