Abstract

âº Embodied HANPP indicates impacts of biomass consumption on ecological energy flows. âº We performed a cross-country analysis of eHANPP, resource indicators and their drivers. âº Indicators of resource flows are correlated among each other but not with eHANPP. âº Contrary to final biomass consumption, eHANPP is not correlated with GDP. âº Resource endowment (area availability) has a strong effect on per-capita eHANPP.
