Abstract Aims The home-field advantage (HFA) hypothesis predicts faster decomposition of plant residues in home soil compared to soils with different plants ( away ), and has been demonstrated forest grassland ecosystems. It remains unclear if this legacy effect applies crop residue arable rotations. Such knowledge could improve our understanding dynamics may allow optimisation amendments syste...

Knowledge of the quantity woody biomass poplar short-rotation coppice (SRC) on agricultural land is a basic tool for management decisions like rotation length, volume production and financial balance sheet economic activities. The expansion SRC requires fast, reliable, easily applicable cheap method estimating yield, but existing methods are based labour-demanding lengthy measurements all shoot...
