시비방법별 벼 재배에 따른 전과정평가 방법을 적용한 환경영향 평가 = Originals : Application of the Life Cycle Assessment Methodology to Rice Cultivation in Relation to Fertilization

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The suitability of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to analyze`the environmental impact of rice cultivation with different fertilizing systems is investigated. The first part of an LCA is an inventory of parameters used and emissions released due to the system under investigation. In the following step, the Life Cycle Impact Assessment, the inventory data were analyzed and aggregated in order to finally get one index representing the total environmental burden. For the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) the Eco-indicator 95 method has been chosen because this is well documented and regularly applied impact assessment method. The resulting index is called Ec -Indicator value. The higher the Eco-indicator value the stronger is the total environmental impact of an analyzed few system. The rice field experiment conducted in middle parts of korea was chosen as an example for the life cycle impact analysis. In this experiment the treatments were consisted of none fertilizer plot (NF), standard fertilizer plot (SF) applied chemical fertilizers based on soil chemical analysis before rice transplan ing, and efflux fertilized plot (EF) applied with pig wastes fermented as the same rates of SF plot as basis on total nitrogen content. The obtained Eco-indicator values were clearly different among the treatments in the rice trial. The total Eco-Indicator values for SF and EF have been observed 58 and 38% relative to the NF, respectively. For all the treatments the environmental effects of eutrophication contributed most to the total Eco-indicator value. The results appeared that the LCA methodology is basically suitable to assess the environmental impact associated with different fertilizer applications for rice cultivation. A comparative analysis of the fertilizing system`s contribution to global warming and eutrophication is possible.
