How to quantify climate impact from land use change?

Question

Hello,

I was asked by the principal investigator to look at the amount of GHG from land use change caused by forestry. Is there such feature on OpenLCA and how? In Inventory Results, I only managed to find the contributing gases and processes.

Answer 1

Well some impact methods have this as subcategory:

You need to have then a "forestry" (or so) process that contains these respective sequestration flows, or add them on your own. Hope this helps!
