Bioenergy and Land Use Change : Impact on Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services.

Although bioenergy is a renewable energy source, it is not without impact on the environment. Both the cultivation of crops specifically for use as biofuels and the use of agricultural byproducts to generate energy changes the landscape, affects ecosystems, and impacts the climate. This title focuse...
