| Use advice for data set | When using this data set for life cycle assessment, it is crucial to note that the environmental impacts related to infrastructure production for farming facilities, the equipments, and transportation of raw materials used in these processes are not included in the study. Data users should take care not to double-count emissions and should ensure that the boundaries of their environmental impact assessment are compatible with this limitation. This data should be used in conjunction with regional agricultural production practices and may require calibration for use in other geographical contexts. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The data set pertains to the lifecycle of winter wheat and summer maize rotation farming practices in the region of Fuping, Northwest China. It is specifically used for assessing the environmental impact of raw material extraction, production, and transportation of agricultural inputs, as well as the cultivation process itself. This data can be utilized in environmental studies, agricultural policies, and sustainability assessments to understand crop production impacts in this region. |

| General comment on data set | The life cycle of winter wheats-summer maize rotation system mainly includes three stages: raw material mining and transportation, agricultural materials production and transportation, and crop planting, including coal, oil, natural gas, electricity and other raw materials mining and production, land resource utilization, fertilizer, pesticide and other agricultural materials production related energy consumption and pollutant emission. Including CO2, NH3, SO2, CH4, N2O and CO [11]. The environmental impact of plant equipment, construction facilities, production of transport tools and transportation of raw materials associated with the system is not considered. |

| Technology description including background system | The research on the resource utilization and environmental emission of winter wheat-summer maize rotation system from raw material extraction, processing and transportation to agricultural materials production and crop planting process is to provide decision-making basis for the production and environmental management of the whole process of winter wheat-summer maize rotation system. The life cycle assessment of agricultural products starts from the mining of ore and energy and ends in the output of crop planting, including the output of agricultural products and pollutants. Land resources are the basis of all production activities and directly enter the agricultural system. In this study, 1 t of crops were evaluated as functional units |
