Opportunities and Trade-offs among BECCS and the Food, Water, Energy, Biodiversity, and Social Systems Nexus at Regional Scales

Co-design of Adaptable Learning Outcomes for Sustainable Food Systems Undergraduate Education

“…Independent from the diverse knowledge sets available and appropriate for analyzing a specific food system, we encourage students to apply an evidence-based approach to decide about possible interventions. By taking into account the totality of available evidence from diverse sources and types of information, food system leaders can more effectively design solutions that support sustainability while considering trade-offs with minimal unintended consequences (Stoy et al, 2018). Also, an evidence-based approach calls for students to consider their positionality, implicit biases, and preconceived assumptions as expressed in LO 2.…”

A Bibliometric Analysis of Food-Energy-Water Nexus Literature

“…The frameworks used within this theme were, for the most part, based on disciplinary perspectives such as chemical engineering, chemistry [52], and process system engineering [53]. Some papers used Integrated Assessment models [49,54,55].…”

North American Grasslands as Multifunctional Landscapes

“…13). Wind Energy and Biodiversity Land-use change associated with the development of wind farms will have impacts on biodiversity of the region (Kuvlesky et al 2007;Stoy et al 2018). Direct mortality from collisions with turbines is a potential problem for bats and birds, and collision mortality is generally higher for bats than for birds (Thaxter et al 2017).…”

“…Perhaps more important to grassland bird populations than collision mortalities are impacts of wind farms on bird abundance or nesting success (Stoy et al 2018). Responses of grassland birds to tall structures on the landscape are generally negative (e.g., Greer et al 2016), so negative responses to turbines or electrical grid structures on the landscape might be expected.…”
