Abstract
⺠We lack coherent, comprehensive and policy-relevant syntheses of biofuels' environmental and socioeconomic impacts. âºÂ Assessing whether (and how) it is desirable to synthesize biofuel impacts with a unified framework is a major research gap. âºÂ Sustainability science and the ecosystem services approach are two frameworks that can provide such unified syntheses. âºÂ Unified syntheses are appropriate in “structured” policy situations, when facts are certain and policy priorities consensual. âºÂ Unified syntheses might be counterproductive when high scientific uncertainty and disagreement on values/policy goals prevail.
