Lignin and carbon transformation in roots of maize and mixed perennial biofuel crops
… being explored as biofuel crops alternative to maize. In this study, fertilized and unfertilized mixed perennial prairie crops were compared with a conventional maize-soybean rotation and to continuous maize cropping systems to assess the potential production of above- and belowground lignin. …
