Forestry and Field Plant Production Technologies in Environmental Life-Cycle Thinking
In our work we developed an environmental analysis model for technological aspects of landuse
changes caused by climate changes. In our research we examined environmental implications of
cultivation technologies of agricultural land-uses. For the typical agricultural/forestry technologies
we set up an eco-balance (input-output material and energy balance) established by process and life
cycle approach. The results of each technology balance � by using environmental impact categories of
environmental problems � become assessable and comparable. The agricultural technologies connected
with land using can be examined by environmental impacts and in terms of environmental riskiness.
