Land surfaces are disaggregated in the following categories:
* The surfaces dedicated to Agricultural activities (crops, meadows, pastures) evolve with the population and the productivity.
* The surface of forests evolves (negatively) with the evolution of the agriculture surface.
* Urban areas evolve with the urban population and GDP growth.
* Inland water and desert areas evolve with exogenous trends.
* Finally grassland surface (grasslands, shrublands, savannas, natural vegetation mosaic) is the difference between the total country / region area and all other surfaces.
Energy biomass is produced from the following surfaces:
* 1st generation biofuels: agricultural area, grassland
* other uses: forest area (for forest residues), grassland (for short rotation crops)
Yields evolve over time, based on historical evolution.

    Land surfaces are disaggregated in the following categories:

    • The surfaces dedicated to Agricultural activities (crops, meadows, pastures) evolve with the population and the productivity.
    • The surface of forests evolves (negatively) with the evolution of the agriculture surface.
    • Urban areas evolve with the urban population and GDP growth.
    • Inland water and desert areas evolve with exogenous trends.
    • Finally grassland surface (grasslands, shrublands, savannas, natural vegetation mosaic) is the difference between the total country / region area and all other surfaces.


    Energy biomass is produced from the following surfaces:

    • 1st generation biofuels: agricultural area, grassland
    • other uses: forest area (for forest residues), grassland (for short rotation crops)

    Yields evolve over time, based on historical evolution.
