Direct (dLUC) and indirect Land Use Change (iLUC) Direct Land Use Change (dLUC): If for cultivation of energy crops a direct land use change takes place, e.g. from pasture agricultural land. Direct effects can be calculated, e.g. change of carbon storage pools. Indirect Land Use Change (iLUC): if existing agricultural land is now used for energy crops, which was used for other product before. The demand for these products remain and additional land is used causing land use change on global scale, e.g. conversion of natural forests into agricultural land. Indirect effects can be calculated after localisation, which is difficult on global level.
