Expanding bioenergy production has raised concerns over potential land use change (LUC) and LUC impacts on the environment. To accommodate new or additional bioenergy feedstock production, the use of land changes in the forms of land cover, land use, and land management. These changes are very likely to affect the biogeochemical and biophysical processes, which shape the environment and ecosystem functions.
The estimations and interpretations of bioenergy‐induced LUC have been uncertain and controversial, primarily due to the limitation of ground‐truth data at scale to identify LUC that is directly or indirectly associated with bioenergy development. In recent years, scientists have made progress in understanding the importance and significance of LUC and LUC impacts. New state‐of‐the‐art techniques have been utilized to clarify certain issues, for instance, remote sensing to quantify LUC observations and economic modeling to relate LUC to specific bioenergy program(s). Various aspects of LUC‐related environmental impacts have been studied in the context of bioenergy production at different scales.
This book covers a variety of interdisciplinary topics related to bioenergy development, LUC and LUC impacts, with contributions from agronomy, economics, energy, geography, earth sciences, atmospheric science, and environmental sciences. The book consists of three major parts: (I) bioenergy and land use change, (II) impacts on natural capital and ecosystem services, and (III) data, modeling, and uncertainties. Each part includes four to five chapters with different focus or perspectives. Part I focuses on bioenergy and LUC‐related definitions, mechanisms, modeling, and estimates. Part II contains individual studies and summaries on various environmental impacts, including carbon stocks, soil health, water quality, and climate impacts. Part III demonstrates methodologies, uncertainties, and challenges. It is not our intention to cover all aspects in this field or to endorse any perspective or statement but rather to report what has been done, what is being debated, and what needs to be further investigated.
This book will be a valuable resource for experts and professionals involved in bioenergy and land use change assessment. It provides both high‐level reviews and in‐depth analyses on multidisciplinary topics; therefore, it could be of interest to researchers and students from a wide variety of fields in energy, economics, and environment.
Finally, we would like to sincerely acknowledge the chapter authors for their valuable contributions and reviewers for their constructive criticisms. We also gratefully thank AGU and Wiley editorial staff, especially Rituparna Bose, Mary Grace Hammond, and Kathryn Corcoran for their excellent support and service.
