An assessment of the representation of fire severity and coarse woody debris dynamics in an ecosystem management model
… modelling the effects of fire severity on live biomass and dead organic matter and post-fire coarse woody debris (CWD) dynamics. A review of the representation of fire in models was conducted and several of the most commonly used fire models in North America have been described in terms of fire …

Phenology, canopy development, biomass and grain yield of annual canarygrass (Phalaris canariensis L.)
… more on main stem-derived yield. The crop biomass, biomass components and grain yield of all five cultivars varied. Canaryseed grain yield variation was best explained by changes in the harvest index. Likely, the canaryseed delayed phenological development negatively affected harvest …

Lignocellulose deconstruction using glyceline and a chelator-mediated Fenton system
Non-edible plant biomass (lignocellulose) is a valuable precursor for liquid biofuels, through the processes of pretreatment and saccharification followed by fermentation into products such as ethanol or butanol. However, it is difficult to gain access to the fermentable sugars in lignocellulose, …

Genetic, agronomic and compositional characterization of brown midrib sweet sorghum lignocellulosic biomass for ethanol production
… and high stem sugar concentration) and quantity (biomass yield, plant height, plant maturity, etc.) biomass traits are key contributors to ethanol yield and production. In this study, a 236 sorghum recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was subjected to genetic, agronomic and compositional …

Effect of pretreatment on the breakdown of lignocellulosic matrix in barley straw as feedstock for biofuel production
Lignocellulosic biomass is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and extraneous compounds (waxes, fats, gums, starches, alkaloids, resins, tannins, essential oils, silica, carbonates, oxalates, etc). The sugars within the complex carbohydrates (cellulose and hemicellulose) can be accessed …
