 How to reach an interdisciplinary research (IDR) community? Building the framework: Bioenergy as a pilot study
The goal of halting the loss of biodiversity constantly faces new policy challenges. Increasing use of bioenergy, i.e. the utilization of agricultural or forest biomass in energy production, is an example of such an emergent challenge. Bioenergy can be produced from wastes or harvesting remains, and in future to increasing extent from energy crops and short-term rotation forests.
More and more researchers are working on biodiversity issues in the context of bioenergy. However, because the field is still young, the exchange of information between researchers might have been limited so far.
To advance an interdisciplinary research community, ALTER-Net has chosen to make a synthesis of knowledge needs related to interlinkages between bioenergy and biodiversity. This activity is a pilot for a framework to tackle with new, unexpected challenges affecting biodiversity. There is a great need for this kind of a framework for synthesizing rapidly research outputs for decision making. The synthesis on the interlinkages between bioenergy and biodiversity will be distributed to both policy makers and researchers.
