- •
We used SWAT to assess cellulosic biofuel production effects on stream flow.
- •
Maximum conversion of loblolly pine to switchgrass increased annual stream flow 7%.
- •
Conversion of young (≤4 yr) and old (≥16 yr) loblolly pine to switchgrass increased stream flow 2%.
- •
Changes in annual stream flow were driven by changes in ET.
- •
Stream flow changes resulting from biofuel production scenarios should be considered.
