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:
... Practicing agriculture decreases downstream water quality when compared to non-agricultural lands. Agricultural watersheds that also grow perennial biofuel feedstocks can be designed to improve water quality compared to agricultural watersheds without perennials. The question then becomes which conservation practices should be employed and where in the landscape should they be situated to achieve ...

Abstract:
... Perennial bioenergy grasses can potentially replace fossil fuels and offset atmospheric CO2 through soil C sequestration. However, limited information relevant to the impacts of bioenergy cropping on ecosystem services, especially above- and below-ground productivity and soil C sequestration is available for subtropical environments (e.g., southeastern USA). The objective of this study was to eval ...

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:
... Cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) represents a promising alternative to silage maize as an energy crop for biogas production. This non-food plant possesses a highly ecological value due to its long blooming period, ability to grow in low-input agriculture and positive influence on soil structure. So far, there have been almost no breeding attempts for the cup plant, and all field experiments sho ...

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:
... Rising demand for renewable resources has increased silage maize (Zea mays L.) production characterized by intensive soil management, high fertilizer and pesticide inputs as well as simplified crop rotations. Advantages of renewable biomass production may thus be cancelled out by adverse environmental effects. Perennial crops, like cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.), are said to benefit arthropod ...

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 ...
