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,...

Facts and Debates on the Future of the Amazon Forest

Maletta, Hector E. - 2012

The future of the Amazon rainforest is a matter of much concern worldwide. It has been predicted that increasing deforestation and the impact of climate change would rapidly and dramatically reduce the extent of the forest area and its density. Some authors have suggested the possibility of a...

Total factor productivity, deforestation, and voluntary sustainability standards : evidence from Rwandese coffee farmers

Paz, Bruno; Dalheimer, Bernhard; Wollni, Meike - 2024

Increasing food demand will most likely be met with agricultural intensification and land clearing, exacerbating environmental consequences associated with food supply. The mechanisms and trade-offs between agriculture and the environment are heterogeneous and not well understood, yet key to...

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...

Land-Use Change and Carbon Sinks

Stavins, Robert; Plantinga, Andrew; Lubowski, Ruben - 2005

When and if the United States chooses to implement a greenhouse gas reduction program, it will be necessary to decide whether carbon sequestration policies — such as those that promote forestation and discourage deforestation — should be part of the domestic portfolio of compliance...

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...

Modeling Linkages between Climate Policy and Land Use : An Overview

Van der Werf, Edwin; Peterson, Sonja M. - 2007

Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost …-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in economy …-climate models. This paper gives an overview and assessment of existing approaches to include land use, land-use change, and forestry …
