Abstract In the future, world is expected to rely increasingly on renewable biomass resources for food, fodder, fibre and fuel. The sustainability of this transition bioeconomy our water systems depends a large extent how we manage land resources. Changes in use together with climate change will affect quantity quality, which again have implications ecosystem services provided by These are main topics Ambio special issue “Environmental effects green bio-economy”. This paper offers summary eleven papers included and, at same time, outlines an approach quantify mitigate impacts their services, indications useful tools knowledge needs.
