- Abstract:
- ... Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a perennial grass highly valued as an energy crop resource for the production of bioethanol due to its high carbohydrate content, fast growth, and ability to grow in lands that cannot support crop or food production. In the present study, this biomass was submitted to steam explosion pretreatment in a semi-continuous pre-pilot reactor with the aim of obtaining a p ...

- Abstract:
- ... This study's aim was to determine the impact of two harvests per year on the yield, biomass quality, and suitability for ensiling and biogas production of cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Bosc ex Link), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum, var. Dacotah) and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii, var. Bison). Grasses were harvested at the end of June (I harvest) and at the beginning of October (II harvest). Sin ...

- Abstract:
- ... Land-use change for bioenergy production can release greenhouse gases (GHG) through disturbance of soil carbon (C) pools, but use of native species with extensive root systems as bioenergy crops may help mitigate GHG emissions by enhancing soil C sequestration. Here, we investigated how (1) fertilization, (2) plant species and cultivars, and (3) inter- and intra-specific diversity affect soil C an ...

- Abstract:
- ... Warm season perennial grasses grown for biomass have been suggested as alternative cropping systems on marginal soils to increase farm profit, reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, and improve water quality. The objectives of this study were to determine: 1) how warm season perennial grasses, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and Miscanthus (Miscanthus x giganteus), compare to cool season grasses as ...
