Modeling biofuel expansion effects on land use change dynamics

Modeling biofuel expansion effects on land use change dynamics

Increasing demand for crop-based biofuels, in addition to other human drivers of land use, induces direct and indirect land use changes (LUC). Our system dynamics tool is intended to complement existing LUC modeling approaches and to improve the understanding of global LUC drivers and dynamics by al...
