Abstract
⺠Demands for biofuels make production of cassava-based bioethanol a priority. ⺠Farmers in Southern Mali are likely to convert fallow areas to cassava production. ⺠Converting fallow to cassava creates reductions in above-ground carbon stocks. ⺠Estimates of carbon stock reductions include that farmers preserve useful trees. ⺠The carbon debt associated with above-ground biomass loss takes 8-25 years to repay.
