    Abstract

    The use of biomass for energy puposes may conflict with the need to maintain soil quality of arable fields. Concerned ecological farmers claim that crop residues and animal manure should all be returned to the fields with as small a loss in carbon and nutrients content as possible. If a large part of Danish agriculture is tranformed into ecological farming, some complicated ecological, technical and systems problems will have to be solved.
