Woody biomass harvested from old-growth forests results in a significant “carbon debt” when used as a feedstock for … biomass-derived fuels. This work is the first to quantify the carbon debt incurred by transportation biofuels derived from … woody biomass from managed forests. The breakeven time of this carbon debt is computed along with breakeven times for …

Global trade of biomass-related products is growing exponentially, resulting in increasing ‘teleconnections’ between … resulting from production chains to consumers. HANPP is the sum of land-use induced NPP changes and biomass harvest. We present … matrices. The dataset allows (1) the tracing of the biomass-based products consumed in Austria in the year 2000 to their …

effects of land use on ecological biomass flows. Based on published data for Austria, Hungary, the Philippines, South Africa … population, economic growth, changes in biomass use and land-use intensity and their influences on national HANPP trajectories …. During early stages of industrialization, population growth and increasing demand for biomass drive land-cover change, often …
