TL;DR: Biogeochemical improvement of soils by adding crushed, fast-reacting silicate rocks to croplands could improve productivity, restore soil quality and reduce atmospheric CO2.

Soil particulate organic matter increases under perennial bioenergy crop agriculture
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of C 4 perennial grasses on particulate organic matter carbon (POM-C), consisting primarily of partially decomposed plant material, was evaluated in Illinois, where native switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) and a sterile hybrid of the Asian grass Miscanthus (M. x giganteus ) were planted as bioenergy feedstocks at the University of Illinois Energy Farm.

TL;DR: It is shown that an underlying assumption in some current models may lead to underestimates of the potential production from managed landscapes, particularly of bioenergy crops that have low nitrogen requirements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the carbon and nitrogen cycle impacts of reverting purpose-grown perennial bioenergy crops back to annual cropping systems by measuring C and N pools and fluxes over two years following reversion of a mature switchgrass stand to an annual maize rotation.
