Testing the Water for Bioenergy Crops

Reader Comments

Does the model include the migration of crops to areas, now too cold, to support them?

What about soils in those areas?

I have read that animal species may be slowly moving away from warmer temperatures, shouldn't crops do so as well?

Wouldn't a migration of plants and crops negate some of the models findings?

...I am only saying....

A valid concern. With the amount of water and other resources (such as fertilizers) required to grow the bio energy crops, many people contest the feasibility of using the land for these crops as against the agricultural crops. It might be helpful to explore the feasibility of exploring bio energy crops adapted to saline waters as the Reverse Osmosis water may be available in good quantities for the same.
