Renewable energy and biodiversity: Implications for transitioning to a Green Economy (2017, background): “However, the magnitude of biodiversity loss due to land use change depends on the type of land that was converted, the feedstock and the vulnerability of the affected species [197,493].”
Bioenergy, Food Production and Biodiversity – An Unlikely Alliance? (2015, background): “At present these relationships remain hypothetical; studies of the environmental impact of bioenergy crops have focused largely on the response of biodiversity (Dauber et al., 2010; Fletcher et al., 2011; Wiens et al., 2011) and greenhouse gas emissions (Fargione et al.”
Perennial biomass feedstocks enhance avian diversity (2011, background): “As such, serious concerns have been raised about the consequences of increasingly biofuel-dominated landscapes to animal populations (Robertson et al., 2008; Fargione et al., 2009; Fletcher et al., 2010), especially where biomass production could impact sensitive and less-developed areas and displac”
Carbon‐Neutral Pathways for the United States (2021, background): “The (iv) low land case tests the effect of limitations on land use in response to concerns about the sustainability of biomass use (Fletcher et al., 2011; IPCC, 2019; Searchinger et al., 2008; Smith et al., 2013) and the land requirements for siting renewable energy and transmission facilities (Hise”
