The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge on suitability and sustainability of
grassland biomass for combustion. In the first section grassland management for solid …

Knowledge of biomass properties and/or fuel characteristics is the basis for bioenergy or
chemical conversion processes. Biomass properties are variable and associated with plant …

Field experiments were conducted to determine the effects of nitrogen (N) fertilization and
biochar addition on the net global warming potential (net GWP), greenhouse gas intensity …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) may have value as forage and a bioenergy feedstock.
Our objective was to evaluate how harvest system and N fertilizer rates affected biomass …

Recent attention has focused on the use of perennial, warm‐season grasses as renewable
energy crops. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of N fertilization on …

The contribution of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a perennial C4 grass, in reducing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was reviewed under three main areas; the impact on …

Recycling livestock manure in agroecosystems can maintain crop production, improve soil
fertility, and reduce environmental losses. However, there has been no comprehensive …

Nitrogen (N) and silicon (Si) are two important nutritional elements required for plant growth,
and both impact host plant resistance toward insect herbivores. The interaction between the …

Switchgrass is currently being developed as a sustainable bio-energy crop due to its broad
adaptability, high mass yield and low agricultural input. Its current conversion to biofuels is …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a prominent bioenergy crop with robust resilience to
environmental stresses. However, our knowledge regarding how precipitation changes …
