Free-living nitrogen fixation (FLNF) in the rhizosphere, or N fixation by heterotrophic bacteria
living on/near root surfaces, is ubiquitous and a significant source of N in some terrestrial …

Phytoremediation is a holistic approach and can be used in large scale to remediate the
contaminated land resources. Although the concept of phytoremediation is few decades old …

In 2008, the world produced approximately 87 gigaliters of liquid biofuels, which is roughly
equal to the volume of liquid fuel consumed by Germany that year. Essentially, all of this …

Terrestrial enhanced weathering (EW) through the application of Mg‐or Ca‐rich rock dust to
soil is a negative emission technology with the potential to address impacts of climate …

Planting the perennial biomass crop Miscanthus in the UK could offset 2–13 Mt oil eq. yr− 1,
contributing up to 10% of current energy use. Policymakers need assurance that upscaling …

Plant production systems globally must be optimized to produce stable high yields from
limited land under changing and variable climates. Demands for food, animal feed, and …

With the advent of biorefinery technologies enabling plant biomass to be processed into
biofuel, many researchers set out to study and improve candidate biomass crops. Many of …

Abstract The C 4 grass Miscanthus× giganteus is of increasing interest as a biomass
feedstock for renewable fuel production. This review describes what is known to date on M.× …

Sorghum is emerging as an excellent genetic model for the design of C4 grass bioenergy
crops. Annual energy Sorghum hybrids also serve as a source of biomass for bioenergy …

Core Ideas Dedicated bioenergy crops can enhance ecosystem services in marginal lands.
Ecosystem services vary with the type of marginal land. More field data are needed about …
