The impact of biomass crop cultivation on temperate biodiversity.

摘要: The urgency for mitigation actions in response to climate change has stimulated policy makers encourage the rapid expansion of bioenergy, resulting major land-use changes over short timescales. Despite potential impacts on biodiversity and environment, scientific concerns about large-scale bioenergy production have only recently been given adequate attention. Environmental standards or legislative provisions majority countries are still lagging behind development energy crops. Ranging from field regional scale, this review (i) summarizes current knowledge impact biomass crops temperate regions, (ii) identifies gaps (iii) drafts guidelines a sustainable crop with respect conservation. studies report positive effects at scale but strongly depend management, age, size heterogeneity plantations. At significant uncertainties exist there is concern that extensive commercial could negative biodiversity, particular areas high nature-conservation value. However, integration into agricultural landscapes stimulate rural economy, thus counteracting farm abandonment supporting restoration degraded land, improved values. Given extent landconversion necessary reach targets, spatial layout distribution plantations will determine impacts. To ensure production, would therefore become an essential part risk assessment measures all those which not yet committed making it obligatory strategic landscape planning. Integrated environmental economic research formulate help support long-term ecological sustainability avoid costly mistakes our attempts mitigate change.
