Environmental impact evaluation of cropping systems using life cycle assessment: Case study of central Tunisia
Semi-arid agricultural areas are fragile territories where water and soil resources must be preserved. In this context, the impact evaluation is difficult due to the lack of data. In this study, we focused on the upstream Merguellil watershed, located in central Tunisia, where several water and soil conservation works (WSCW) were built since 1990 to control water erosion, increase local infiltration and protect the downstream area.
