生物质种植系统有可能改变农业景观提供的生态系统服务。根据作物类型和管理，将生物质种植系统战略性地纳入现有的农业景观可以增强一系列生态系统服务，同时减轻一些损害。在这里，我们回顾了八年的研究方法和结果，一系列生物质种植系统对美国中北部生态系统服务的潜在影响。我们的研究是由对多个分类群的丰度和分布的初步评估（即，生物多样性）。然后，对每个系统中支撑重要生态系统服务的过程进行测量或建模，与生物多样性指标相关，并用于探索管理情景对生物多样性和生态系统过程的影响。我们还利用这些数据和模型开发了一个决策支持系统，使利益相关者能够考虑替代景观组成，配置和农艺管理下的权衡和协同作用。多年生牧草种植系统为促进多种生态系统服务提供了最大的潜力。包括杂类草在内的更多样化的多年生草地有可能增加害虫抑制和授粉，减少温室气体排放，并加强草地鸟类群落，但可能以牺牲生物量产量为代价。在采用不同的生物质原料种植系统之前，向利益攸关方和决策者提供关于这些系统所支持的生态系统服务的预期组合的信息，有可能提供知情选择，以指导未来生物质生产景观的实施和管理。
Biomass cropping systems have the potential to alter the ecosystem services provided by agricultural landscapes. Depending on crop type and management, strategic incorporation of biomass cropping systems into existing agricultural landscapes could enhance a range of ecosystem services while mitigating some disservices. Here, we review the approaches and findings of eight years of research into the potential effects of a range of biomass cropping systems on ecosystem services in the North Central US. Our research was framed by an initial assessment of the abundance and distribution of multiple taxa (i.e., biodiversity) within candidate biomass cropping systems. The processes underpinning important ecosystem services in each system were then measured or modeled, related to biodiversity metrics, and used to explore the influence of management scenarios on biodiversity and ecosystem processes. We also used these data and models to develop a decision support system that allows stakeholders to consider tradeoffs and synergies under alternative landscape composition, configuration, and agronomic management. Perennial grass cropping systems provided the greatest potential to promote multiple ecosystem services. More diverse perennial grasslands that include forbs have the potential to increase pest suppression and pollination, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance grassland bird communities, but likely at the expense of biomass yield. Providing stakeholders and policymakers with information about the expected mix of ecosystem services supported by different biomass feedstock cropping systems in advance of their adoption offers the potential for informed choices to guide the implementation and management of future biomass-producing landscapes.
