Comparative analysis of stem carbon partitioning and development in Andropogoneae bioenergy grasses
… versatility in carbon storage. This tribe of grasses is known for their high levels of biomass production and includes many prominent crops such as sorghum, maize, and sugarcane and the emerging biofuel feedstock miscanthus. These crops are closely related and not only handle carbon storage in …

The potential implications of bioenergy crop production for water and energy balance and carbon and nitrogen dynamics in the United States
… investigate the impacts of large-scale growth of bioenergy crops on water and energy balance and coupled carbon and nitrogen dynamics in the US. To achieve this objective, I apply and extend a coupled biogeochemical and biogeophysical model, the Integrated Science Assessment Model (ISAM), to …

Ecology of nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with Miscanthus
… of is one of the biggest concerns for bioenergy crops, such as Miscanthus. Nitrogen is the most expensive and most limiting nutrient in agricultural systems, so it is necessary to develop strategies to reduce anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen fertilizer. Diazotrophs associated with …

Biomass Crops in Marginal Lands.
… emerged regarding food security and land use for bioenergy/industrial non-food crops. Cultivating biomass crops on marginal land unsuitable for food production is consistently proposed as an alternative to minimize iLUC effects about land-use competition for food production, and its adverse …
