Abstract
The full-fruit period in apple orchards has the greatest environmental impact during the whole apple life cycle, and the characteristics of apple planting and high investment in agricultural materials in China aggravate the impact of this stage on the environment. The life cycle assessment (LCA) method was used to study the resource use (RU), global warming potential (GWP), environmental acidification potential (AP), and eutrophication potential (EP) of apple orchards in the full-fruit period. These apple orchards are, smallholder orchards (SO) in the Bohai Bay area (BH), commercial orchards (CO) in the Bohai Bay area, smallholder orchards in the Loess Plateau area (LP), and commercial orchards in the Loess Plateau area. The results showed that the RU of commercial orchards was 23.87% higher than that of smallholder orchards, the EP of smallholder orchards was 72.36% higher than that of commercial orchards, the RU of the Bohai Bay was 19.70% higher than that of the Loess Plateau, the EP in the Loess Plateau was 35.93% higher than that in Bohai Bay.
