Abstract

Highlights: [•] A comprehensive evaluation of alternative LUC and fertilization schemes. [•] The GHG intensity of palm oil greatly depends on the LUC scenario. [•] Colombian palm area expansion resulted in negative or low palm oil GHG intensity. [•] GHG emissions from plantation vary significantly with N2O emission parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
