Energy Crops vs. Forest Biomass for Meeting the Renewable Fuel Standard : Implications for Land Use and GHG Emissions

Wang, Weiwei - 2016

Increasing concerns about energy security and climate change mitigation have led to significant policy support for biofuels, particularly for cellulosic biofuels. This paper examines the short- and long-run effects of Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) on the mix of agricultural and forest biomass,...

The opportunity costs of environmental exclusion zones for renewable energy deployment

Lehmann, Paul; Tafarte, Philip - Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung - 2023

Exclusion zones, like protected areas or setback distances, are the most common policy instrument to mitigate environmental impacts of human land-use, including the deployment of renewable energy sources. While exclusion zones may provide environmental benefits, they may also bring about...

A Forest-Profit Expectations Dataset for New Zealand, 1990–2008

Olssen, Alex - 2012

In this paper, we construct a dataset of annual expected forest profits in New Zealand from 1990-2008 at a fine spatial resolution. We do not include land values in any of our profit calculations. We estimate four measures of expected forest profits based around net present value (NPV), land...

A Spatiotemporal Model of Forest Cover Dynamics and Household Land Use Decisions by Subsistence Farmers in Southern Cameroon

Brown, Douglas R. - 2013

Shifting cultivation is one of many phenomena involving the interaction of humans with their natural environment, for which the spatial and temporal dimensions are essential to understanding the system. As a spatiotemporal phenomenon, shifting cultivation uses forest resources to provide the...

Rain Follows the Forest : Land Use Policy, Climate Change, and Adaptation

Grosset, Florian; Papp, Anna; Taylor, Charles - 2023

Human actions can alter the local and regional climate, particularly via land use. We assess the impact of the Great Plains Shelterbelt, a large-scale forestation program in the 1930s which planted 220 million trees across six US Midwestern states. The program led to a regional increase in...
