19 Uncertainties Many data gaps still being filled, even for US (Lokupitiya et al.) International data more uncertain, added variables (fire, etc.) Scale matters (temporal, spatial) SOC analysis (Ogle et al. 2009) : median uncertainty from scaling down +/-118% at regional scale (18-500%); +/-740% at site scale Different systems operate on different scales Prior land-use history matters Land-use classifications (tillage intensity; transitions; areas not actively harvested e.g. grasslands. idle etc.) Productivity variables in rotations and LUC scenarios Emission estimates for new feedstocks - scaling up from trials risky. Lack comparable commercial data for cellulosic supply systems 19 Managed by UT-Battelle
20 Future research Build on current data sets to consider effects of changes in US land use in response to biofuels Better data on soils, inputs (detailed land use) and outputs (yields and services) spatially, and over time Characterize management practices associated with bioenergy crop production and effects (yields and soil carbon) Soil carbon (especially below 30cm) and under different biogeochemical conditions To address indirect effects of US policy must improve estimates of direct effects (fossil and renewable) Complex and integrated systems make allocation of GHG emissions among food, feed, fiber and fuel complicated 20 Managed by UT-Battelle
21 Conclusions Small adjustments in major systems (US grains) can have significant impacts on emissions Adoption of reduced tillage 2.4 Tg Ceq reduction (US ) Emissions are products of many interacting factors over time (not simply crop choice, change in cropland area, or no-till in year x) Efficiency is important (caution with uni-dimensional data) Sustainability much broader than GHG emissions. Tools need to measure persistence of productive capacity ability to maintain ecosystem services with decreasing inputs, over time 21 Managed by UT-Battelle
