Lower nitrogen losses with perennial biofuel crops
2013-01-10 18:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Perennial biofuel crops such as miscanthus, whose high yields have led them to be considered an eventual alternative to corn in producing ethanol, are now shown to have another beneficial characteristic -- the ability to reduce the escape of nitrogen in the environment. In a 4-year University of Illinois study that compared miscanthus, switchgrass, and mixed prairie species to typical corn-corn-soybean rotations, each of the perennial crops were highly efficient at reducing nitrogen losses, with...

Biofuel boom could lead to life-threatening ozone pollution
2013-01-09 23:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Not long ago biofuels were seen as one of the major tools to combat climate change, but a large number of studies in recent years have shown that many first generation biofuels may have little climate benefitand some are actually harmfuland are also linked to rising food prices. Now, a new study in Nature Climate Change warns that biofuels using fast-growing trees (polar, willow, and eucalytpus) could also exacerbate ground-level ozone pollution. "Concerns about climate change and energy security...

New York Times: In the tiny tortillerias of this city, people complain ceaselessly about the high price of corn. Just three years ago, one quetzal about 15 cents bought eight tortillas; today it buys only four. And eggs have tripled in price because chickens eat corn feed. Meanwhile, in rural areas, subsistence farmers struggle to find a place to sow their seeds. On a recent morning, José Antonio Alvarado was harvesting his corn crop on the narrow median of Highway 2 as trucks zoomed by. Were farming here...
