Perennial Forages as Second Generation Bioenergy Crops
The lignocellulose in forage crops represents a second generation of biomass feedstock for conversion into energy-related end products. Some of the most extensively studied species for cellulosic feedstock production include forages such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.), and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). An advantage of using forages as bioenergy ...
متن کاملNitrogen Recycling and Flowering Time in Perennial Bioenergy Crops
Perennials have a number of traits important for profitability and sustainability of a biofuel crop. Perennialism is generally defined as the ability to grow and reproduce in multiple years. In temperate climates, many perennial plants enter dormancy during winter and recycle nutrients, such as nitrogen, to below ground structures for the next growing season. Nitrogen is expensive to produce an...

Similar programs have been used Management practices for conversion of land supporting perennial historically in the USA to control erosion (e.g., soil vegetation to crop production are needed. Effect of haying (hayed bank program) and influence grain supplies. Programs or not hayed), cropping (annual crop with no-ti...
متن کاملBioenergy production from perennial energy crops: a consequential LCA of 12 bioenergy scenarios including land use changes.
In the endeavor of optimizing the sustainability of bioenergy production in Denmark, this consequential life cycle assessment (LCA) evaluated the environmental impacts associated with the production of heat and electricity from one hectare of Danish arable land cultivated with three perennial crops: ryegrass (Lolium perenne), willow (Salix viminalis) and Miscanthus giganteus. For each, four con...
متن کاملAgricultural management explains historic changes in regional soil carbon stocks.
Agriculture is considered to be among the economic sectors having the greatest greenhouse gas mitigation potential, largely via soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, it remains a challenge to accurately quantify SOC stock changes at regional to national scales. SOC stock changes resulting from SOC inventory systems are only available for a few countries and the trends vary widely be...
