Even where feedstocks have been promoted as an improvement on previously deforested landscapes (jatropha and African palm are, after all, trees), monoculture plantations are inherently low on biodiversity indexes, limiting their ability to adapt to climate change and reducing broader ecological benefits.
Kahit saan feedstocks na-promote bilang isang pagpapabuti sa dati deforested landscape (jatropha at African palm ay, pagkatapos ang lahat, tree), monoculture plantations ay likas na mababa sa ini-index ng biodiversity, limitahan ang kanilang kakayahang umangkop sa pagbabago ng klima at pagbabawas ng mas malawak na ecological benepisyo.
