State of Wisconsin Current Land Cover What biomass? From where? How? What ecological impacts? Map: WDNR Charter St. Facility

Two-phased Modeling Approach Phase 1: render landscape scenarios that describe plausible biomass markets according to: Phase 1: render landscape scenarios that describe plausible biomass markets according to: – Cellulosic biomass type & diversity – Productivity class(es) of lands in production – Spatial distribution of biomass market

Phase 1

I : Intermediate agricultural land M: Marginal agricultural land P: Prime agricultural land = bioenergy facility

Phase 2 Evaluate habitat suitability for a suite of wildlife species of Greatest Conservation Need in Wisconsin Evaluate habitat suitability for a suite of wildlife species of Greatest Conservation Need in Wisconsin – construct habitat suitability indices; produce habitat suitability maps for future scenarios & current land use/land cover – from paired maps generate difference maps to indicate changes in habitat suitability (+/- and neutral) between present & future landscapes for each focal species

Present Landscape

Future Scenario A

Difference Maps Present landscape Future A -=

Goals/Outcomes Identify potential landscape-level changes in land use/cover in response to demand for biomass production Identify potential landscape-level wildlife habitat impacts of potential future biomass markets Discover potential opportunities for maximizing biomass production & conservation goals
