To successfully develop production systems for switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.),
miscanthus (Miscanthus spp.), and giant reed (Arundo donax L.), accurate information on …

Replacing fossil with biomass-based sources of energy may help to reduce climate threats
to biodiversity. However, some geographic areas with high potential value for producing …

Biomass as a renewable energy source includes energy crops that are not used for food but
solely for biomass production with the goal of conversion to various forms of biofuel …

A sustainable bioeconomy would require growing high-yielding bioenergy crops on
marginal agricultural areas with minimal inputs. To determine the cost competitiveness and …

Growing dedicated bioenergy crops on marginal land can provide beneficial outcomes
including biomass production and energy, resource management, and ecosystem services …

Core Ideas Quantifying intra‐seasonal fluctuations allows for simulating productivity trade‐
offs. Biomass yields peaked August–September when N and K and moisture contents were …

Perennial energy grasses, such as switchgrass, represent a potentially important component
of sustainable bioenergy production. However, both economic and environmental …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has two ecotypes that are genetically and phenotypically
distinct: upland and lowland. Furthermore, the upland ecotype has two distinct cytological …

Switchgrass is a potential crop for bioenergy or carbon capture schemes, but further yield
improvements through selective breeding are needed to encourage commercialization. To …

The production of dedicated energy crops on marginally productive cropland is projected to
play an important role in reaching the US Billion Ton goal. This study aimed to evaluate …
