Agriculture vs. Forestry ... or the search of reasoning in subsidization of biofuels
The following article was published in todays' Sueddeutsche Zeitung (Wissen). To sum it up: According to Paul Crutzen (Max-Planck-Institute
for Chemistry) agricultural fertilizers (especially nitrogen) used for
corn and canola cultivation in order to produce biofuels (biodiesel and
bioethanol) cause more damage to the climate than fossil fuels. Canola
fuel has a 1.7, corn a 1.5 factor to climate damage (in comparison to
the savings of CO2 from fossil fuels). Ac

Apa kabar? (wie geht's?)
It's very pleased to found such friends concern on ecotourism here :)
my major is ecotourism and i'd love to share and gain knowledge and experience as well on ecotourism, sustainable tourism-related with all the people around the globe.
Let's explore nature through eco travel, not just for enjoy, but also study it, use it, save it :)
warmest regards from Indonesia :)
thanks for joining and for the interesting article. I did not now, yet. But I am trying to get hold of an report about climate friendliness of palm oil, which is still relevant for Germany as well. By the way, Fri you might also put your comment under the blog :o)
thanks for the comment but I guess even by using poplar and robinia, a decline in biodiversity won't be preventable since you also need pesticides to bring the plants up ... and even more in SRF.
How's the thesis advancing ;) ?
nice to „meet“ you here and welcome to our new interactive page.
Thank you for the very interesting article you posted. When talking about bioenergy mostly the positive outcomes are mentioned. Hence it is even more important to scrutinize the pros and cons of bioenergy. Last semester I’ve done a project work concerning the impacts of increased cultivation of corn used for bioenergy purposes on biodiversity in the region of Göttingen. It can be assumed that there will be a decline in biodiversity, due to intensified monoculture and use of pesticides. Maybe poplar and robinia plantations are an alternative.
