This edited volume establishes a forum for international experts to
explore cutting-edge questions associated with the land use and
biomass production. Topics include 'do we have enough land, either
primary or marginal, to accommodate future production of biomass?',
'how are farming decisions made in response to biomass
incentives?', 'is the current bio-mass production socially,
economically and environmentally sustainable?', and 'what are the
main constraints currently limiting biofuel deployment?' The
expansion of biomass production is often at the cost of reduced
land availability for food production and losses of areas with
ecological functions such as forests and wetlands. This process
often involves complex interplay of physical dynamics and human
systems that are driven by numerous geographic and socio-economic
factors at different scales. Thus, the state-of-the-art research on
the land use issues surrounding the biomass production and its
environmental impacts is important for informed land management
decision making. This book will be of great use to researchers in
land use management and biomass-based renewable energy, as well as
practitioners.
