TL;DR: The concentration of ten essential nutrients in harvested material from three potential perennial bioenergy crops: Panicum virgatum L., Miscanthusgiganteus, and a reestablished prairie was measured to determine annual soil nutrient removals.

Assessing the impacts of Best Management Practices on nitrate pollution in an agricultural dominated lowland catchment considering environmental protection versus economic development.
TL;DR: There is a greater nitrate reduction potential by combining BMPs containing fertilization reduction, buffer strips and soil coverage in winter, and the discussion about efficiency showed the complexity of costs stipulation and the relation with arable land and yield losses.

Miscanthus cultivation shapes rhizosphere microbial community structure and function as assessed by Illumina MiSeq sequencing combined with PICRUSt and FUNGUIld analyses
TL;DR: Soil microbes play important roles in plant growth and in the biogeochemical cycling of earth’s elements, however, the structure and functions of the microbial community associated with the growth of second-generation energy crops, such as Miscanthus, remain unclear.

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: In this article, the authors evaluate current challenges with modeling soil carbon dynamics, trace gas fluxes, and drought and age-related impacts on bioenergy crop productivity, and propose coupling a microbial process-based soil organic carbon and nitrogen model with Century to improve soil carbon.

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.

Simultaneous inference in general parametric models.
TL;DR: This paper describes simultaneous inference procedures in general parametric models, where the experimental questions are specified through a linear combination of elemental model parameters, and extends the canonical theory of multiple comparison procedures in ANOVA models to linear regression problems, generalizedlinear models, linear mixed effects models, the Cox model, robust linear models, etc.

Principles of plant nutrition
Konrad Mengel,Ernest A. Kirkby +1 more
- 01 Jan 1982
TL;DR: In this article, the Soil as a Plant Nutrient Medium is discussed and the importance of water relations in plant growth and crop production, and the role of water as a plant nutrient medium.
The Ecology and Economics of Storage in Plants
TL;DR: Criteria for defining storage in ecological and eonomic contexts is suggested in order to examine the costs and benefits of storage and the evidence for different types of storage is evaluated.
Feedstocks for Lignocellulosic Biofuels
TL;DR: In 2008, the world produced approximately 87 gigaliters of liquid biofuels, which is roughly equal to the volume of liquid fuel consumed by Germany that year; however, all of this biofuel was produced from crops developed for food production, raising concerns about the net energy and greenhouse gas effects.
