Development of prairie cordgrass (spartina pectinata link) as a dedicated bioenergy crop
… of the dominant native grass species (Poaceae), prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link) showed potential as a dedicated bioenergy crop on marginal land. However, prairie cordgrass biomass-production research has been limited to several local varieties or cultivars. To further investigate its …

Study of agronomic factors important to the establishment of various perennial grass bioenergy feedstock species
… and its ability to grow well on marginal land. Prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link) is another native tall prairie grass with characteristics similar to switchgrass, and it has been studied recently for its ability to produce high biomass yields under saline soil conditions. Similar to M. …

Perennial grasses as sustainable bioenergy crops for marginal lands
… to heat, cold, drought, salinity, and flooding. Prairie cordgrass is native to North America and can be grown on lands that are too wet for corn, switchgrass, and big bluestem. They are highly tolerant to flooding and salinity. Big bluestem was primarily evaluated for forage purpose, but recently …
