Objectives
Abstract	The ELUM project has studied the impact of bioenergy crop land-use changes on soil carbon stocks and greenhouse gas emissions. It developed a model to quantitatively assess changes in levels of soil carbon, combined with the greenhouse gas flux which results from the conversion of land to bioenergy in the UK. The categorisation and mapping of these data using geographical information systems allows recommendations to be made on the most sustainable land use transition from a soil carbon and GHG perspective. Some information and/or data points will have been superseded by later peer review, please refer to updated papers published via www.elum.ac.uk
