View Resource Biofuels: Implications for Land Use and Biodiversity

This report explores the potential impacts on ecology and biodiversity associated with reallocating land use for biofuel production as well as how economics and farm policies may influence the land available for biofuel harvest. This report also discusses other factors relevant to designing bioenergy systems for optimum social, economic and ecological benefits. This report is one of a...

View Resource Sustainable Biofuels from Forests: Meeting the Challenge

This report examines how forest products could be used as biofuel and the availability of these products. To study the sustainability of this bioenergy source, this report reviews some of the forest practices and certification programs which have proven successful in other regions of the world. This report is one of a four-part series based upon scientific manuscripts initially presented at a...

View Resource Grasslands, Rangelands, and Agricultural Systems

This report explores how switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a native perennial cellulosic grass, may become the center of biofuel production in some parts of the Great Plains and Midwest. This report will address the sustainability of growing biofuels in the US grassland regions, the environmental and ecological changes that have occurred in these areas already, and how the cultivation of biofuel...

View Resource The Invasive Grass-Fire Cycle in the U.S. Great Basin

Students will exercise critical thinking skills to form a hypothesis on how cheatgrass alters fire behaviors. Students will analyze data and answer questions based on their interpretation of field-based data and satellite data. Using this information, students will collaborate to create maps and graphs. This activity is included in Volume 8 of Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology...

View Resource Drivers of Avian Local Species Richness: Continental-Scale Gradients, Regional LAndscape, or Local Land Cover?

Students use data to test hypotheses on breeding bird species richness. Students will exercise critical thinking skills to interpret data sets and maps. They will then create graphic presentations of their findings. This activity is included in Volume 8 of Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE).
