Abstract
⺠We model regionalized feedstock-specific United States soil C emission factors. ⺠We simulate soil C changes from direct land use change associated with biofuel feedstock production. ⺠Corn, corn-stover, and perennial grass biofuel feedstocks grown in croplands maintain soil C levels. ⺠Converting grasslands to bioenergy crops risks soil C loss. ⺠This modeling framework yields more refined soil C emissions than national-level emissions.
