Ethanol made from biomass (rather than grains) holds great promise, including numerous economic and environmental benefits. However, the adverse interactions of energy, climate, food, and soil quality cannot be ignored. In eight concise chapters, Soil Quality and Biofuel Production presents a state-of-the-knowledge review of soil properties and procesAdvances in soil science (Boca Raton, Fla.)Biomass energyEnvironmental aspectsSoilsQualityBiomass energyEnvironmental aspects.SoilsQuality.662/.6692Lal R1482064Stewart B.
