Bioenergy from “surplus” land: environmental and socio-economic implications (2012, background): “Those uncertainties are largely due to inconsistent definitions of the term bioenergy, large differences in the underlying assumptions of the agronomic potential of bioenergy crops on the respective types of land and limited availability of data on land use (Campbell et al. 2008; Dornburg et al. 201”
Estimating the world's potentially available cropland using a bottom-up approach (2013, neutral): “…areas and, in some cases, intact forests, protected areas and densely populated areas (Ramankutty et al., 2002; IIASA/FAO, 2012) – or a ‘‘categorical approach’’ – i.e., identifying speciﬁc categories of land use/cover that could be converted to croplands (Campbell et al., 2008; Cai et al., 2011).”
Crop yield gaps: their importance, magnitudes, and causes. (2009, background): “These two factors, the generally well-adapted status of the native vegetation and the consistently higher NPP in native vegetation than in croplands, suggest that the NPP of native vegetation can be used to set an upper limit on yield potential, especially for areas not currently in agriculture (37)”
The Ecological Impact of Biofuels (2010, background): “Second, abandoned and degraded cropland and rangeland should be identified and targeted for biofuel production (Campbell et al. 2008).”
Is energy cropping in Europe compatible with biodiversity? – Opportunities and threats to biodiversity from land-based production of biomass for bioenergy purposes (2013, background): “[37] estimate that the global area of abandoned agricultural land is 385e472 million hectares, which could satisfy almost 8% of current global energy”
Indirect land-use changes can overcome carbon savings from biofuels in Brazil (2010, background): “Roughly 290,000 km(2) of land, equivalent to 15% of the currently grazed rangeland, was once grazed inBrazil and is now abandoned (36).”
Biochar in bioenergy cropping systems: impacts on soil faunal communities and linked ecosystem processes (2013, background): “Due to current rates of population growth, habitat loss and fragmentation, and challenges to food security, efficient and productive land use is of paramount © 2013 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, GCB Bioenergy, 5, 81–95 consequence (Campbell et al., 2008).”
