Response to comments from Lark et al. regarding the March 2022 comments on Lark et. al. (2022)
In response to the technical comments
from the Systems Assessment Center and its collaborators that we released on March 21, 2022,
Lark et al. provided their responses. In what follows, we review their responses and provide
another round of technical comments on Lark et al. responses and their original article
to reaffirm and expand our original comments on
Lark et al. study
. Our original and new comments are supported by literature and observed data. Our interaction with Lark et al. via written comments so far shows that assessment of land use change of biofuels and resulted greenhouse gas emissions is a complicated undertaking, and accurate results requires sound, consistent analytic approach and reliable, representative data.

Comments on “Environmental Outcomes of the US Renewable Fuel Standard”
The Systems Assessment Center and its collaborators provide a detailed technical review of a recently published article
“Environmental Outcomes of the US Renewable Fuel Standard” by Lark et al. (2022)
. Our review explored modeling approach and data sources for land use changes, types of land conversions, and soil organic carbon changes, among other parameters, in the Lark et al. study, which resulted in significantly high greenhouse gas emissions of US domestic land use changes of corn ethanol presented in that study.
