Evaluation of carbon fluxes and trends (2000-2008) in the Greater Platte River Basin: A sustainability study for potential biofuel feedstock development

► We evaluate the environmental sustainability of the potential biofuel sites. ► Strong carbon sinks are found in the potential biofuel feedstock sites. ► Weak carbon sources or sinks (near equilibrium) are found in the non-biofuel sites. ► The identified potential biofuel feedstock sites are environmentally sustainable.
