With oil resources approaching their limits, biofuels have become
increasingly attractive. This book provides a detailed description
of the ecological implications of second and third generation
biofuel feedstock production systems, beginning with an
introduction to the importance of ecological sustainability
alongside economic viability. The book is divided into sections
describing theoretical foundation and benefits of various biofuel
cropping systems, and providing a description of practical
ecological limitations to achieve those fundamental benefits. The
book covers such critical issues as greenhouse gas emissions,
carbon balance, water cycle components, other biogeochemical and
socioeconomic interactions alongside life cycle analysis principals
for achieving sustainability. These are some of the most important
sustainability, environmental and economic issues which biofuel
industry and scientific community is seeking answers to.
