      abstract = {This edited volume establishes a forum for international  experts to explore cutting-edge questions associated with  the land use and biomass production. Topics include ‘do we  have enough land, either primary or marginal, to  accommodate future production of biomass?’, ‘how are  farming decisions made in response to biomass incentives?’,  ‘is the current bio-mass production socially, economically  and environmentally sustainable?’, and ‘what are the main  constraints currently limiting biofuel deployment?’ The  expansion of biomass production is often at the cost of  reduced land availability for food production and losses of  areas with ecological functions such as forests and  wetlands. This process often involves complex interplay of  physical dynamics and human systems that are driven by  numerous geographic and socio-economic factors at different  scales. Thus, the state-of-the-art research on the land use  issues surrounding the biomass production and its  environmental impacts is important for informed land  management decision making. This book will be of great use  to researchers in land use management and biomass-based  renewable energy, as well as practitioners.},
