Abstract

The production and consumption of food, energy, and water are inextricably linked. With agricultural systems contributing high levels of nutrients into ground and surface water systems, agriculture poses both human health and environmental risks downstream of these non-point sources (Zumpf et al. 2017). This project was designed to develop and prove concepts supporting multifunctional landscapes, which address multiple problems regarding food, energy, and water. The benefits of multifunctional landscapes over simplified landscapes (i.e., crop monocultures) include the ability to address these multiple societal challenges simultaneously by incorporating components that can perform multiple services (Ssegane et al. 2015).

Valuation of ecosystem services in alternative bioenergy landscape scenarios

Journal Article Mishra, Shruti K. ; Negri, Maria Cristina ; Kozak, Justin ; ... - Global Change Biology. Bioenergy

Abstract Agricultural land in the Midwest is a source of food and fuel, as well as biodiversity. It is also a cause of excess nutrients that make their way to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. To address unsustainable changes to biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functions, a multidisciplinary approach involving social science, natural science, and engineering is often effective. Given the potential of second‐generation biofuels, and capitalizing on the deep‐rooted perennial bioenergy crops capable of thriving in poor soils, we demonstrated an integrated socio‐environmental analysis of the impacts of growing switchgrass within row‐crop landscapes in Illinois.

The economics of growing shrub willow as a bioenergy buffer on agricultural fields: A case study in the Midwest Corn Belt

Journal Article Ssegane, Herbert ; Zumpf, Colleen ; Cristina Negri, M. ; ... - Biofuels, Bioproducts & Biorefining

Abstract Landscape design has been embraced as a promising approach to holistically balance multiple goals related to environmental and resource management processes to meet future provisioning and regulating ecosystem services needs. In the agricultural context, growing bioenergy crops in specific landscape positions instead of dedicated fields has the potential to improve their sustainability, provide ecosystem services, and minimize competition with other land uses. However, growing bioenergy crops in sub‐productive or environmentally vulnerable parts of a field implies more complex logistics as small amounts of biomass are generated in a distributed way across the landscape. We present a novel assessment ofmore »« less

Mapping intra-field yield variation using high resolution satellite imagery to integrate bioenergy and environmental stewardship in an agricultural watershed

Journal Article Hamada, Yuki ; Ssegane, Herbert ; Negri, Maria Cristina - Remote Sensing

Biofuels derived from renewable biological materials are important alternatives for meeting our future energy needs. The Energy Independence and Security act (EISA) of 2007 mandated that 16 Billion gallons per year of total biofuel production come from cellulosic-based biofuels by 2022. Crop residues such as corn stover and dedicated bioenergy crops are expected to be available to satisfy this need (Billion ton study). However, uncertainty in environmental and socioeconomic impacts associated with removal of corn residue, additional allocation of land to bioenergy and increased use of fertilizer present barriers to accomplishing the national goal. In recent years, perennial bioenergy cropsmore »« less

Invertebrate and Plant Community Diversity of an Illinois Corn–Soybean Field with Integrated Shrub Willow Bioenergy Buffers

Journal Article Zumpf, Colleen ; Quinn, John ; Cacho, Jules ; ... - Sustainability (Basel)

Perennial bioenergy crop production within intensively managed agricultural landscapes has the potential to improve the sustainability, resiliency, and diversity of these landscapes. Perennial crops are ideal because of their high production potential on marginal lands relative to grain crops (e.g., corn and soybean) and their ability to provide additional ecosystem service benefits. When agricultural landscapes are designed to target specific services, determining the non-targeted services of perennial bioenergy crops can further promote their adoption. This 3-year study addresses this proposition by evaluating the canopy invertebrates and understory plant (non-target crop) communities using bee bowls and point measurement of ground coverage,more »« less

LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE SUPPLIES OF BIOENERGY FEEDSTOCK AND ENHANCED SOIL QUALITY

Conference Karlen, Douglas L ; Muth, Jr, David J

Agriculture can simultaneously address global food, feed, fiber, and energy challenges provided our soil, water, and air resources are not compromised in doing so. As we embark on the 19th Triennial Conference of the International Soil and Tillage Research Organization (ISTRO), I am pleased to proclaim that our members are well poised to lead these endeavors because of our comprehensive understanding of soil, water, agricultural and bio-systems engineering processes. The concept of landscape management, as an approach for integrating multiple bioenergy feedstock sources, including biomass residuals, into current crop production systems, is used as the focal point to show howmore »« less
