The Ecological Society of America (ESA) has released several Reports on Biofuels and Sustainability.  One of the papers, Growing Plants for Fuel: Predicting Effects on Water, Soil and the Atmosphere, was co-authored by two KBS faculty members, Dr. Phil Robertson and Dr. Steve Hamilton.

These reports, which were reviewed by an Advisory Committee, are based upon scientific manuscripts initially presented at the Conference on the Ecological Dimension of Biofuels in Washington, D.C., on March 10, 2008. The conference was hosted by the Ecological Society of America and sponsored by a consortium of other scientific organizations, nongovernmental organizations, federal agencies, and the private sector.
