Thus, it is important to understand the effects of biofuel production and use on water quality and quantity, soils, wildlife habitat and biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, air quality, public health, and the economic viability of rural communities.Biomass energy -- CongressesBiomass energy -- Research -- United StatesElectronic books. -- localBiomass energy -- Congresses.Biomass energy -- Research -- United States.Electronic books. -- local.333.794Council National Research1805879Koshel Patricia1813587AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910962997203321Expanding Biofuel Production4366828UNINA
