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. 410 0$aEcosystem science and applications. 606 $aBiomass energy 610 $aBioenergy. 610 $aBiofuels. 610 $aEcology. 610 $aEcosystems Science. 610 $aSustainability. 615 0$aBiomass energy. 676 $a662/.88 686 $aZE 37000$2rvk 702 $aBhardwaj$b Ajay Kumar 702 $aZenone$b Terenzio 702 $aChen$b Jiquan$f1962- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788820803321 996 $aSustainable biofuels$92751717 997 $aUNINA
