This review describes the multiple utilization of perennial grasses as resilient crops for a
multifunctional agriculture. Beyond its role of producing food, feed and fiber, the concept of …

Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition or fertilization has been found to significantly affect
carbon (C) cycling. However, a comprehensive understanding of how different C chemical …

Different species and genotypes of Miscanthus were analysed to determine the influence of
genotypic variation and harvest time on cell wall composition and the products which may …

The objectives of the experiment were to assess the impact of nitrogen (N) and potassium
(K) fertiliser application on the cell wall composition and fast-pyrolysis conversion quality of …

Perennial crops are considered as one of the most promising substitutions for fossil fuels for
both ethanol production and direct combustion, but the quality and suitability of bioenergy …

We report on a replicated spaced-plant trial in Wales of 244 diverse Miscanthus accessions
grouped by classical taxonomy into M. sinensis, M. sacchariflorus and M. x giganteus. Large …

Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition plays a critical role in soil organic matter (SOM)
transformation, but the responses of the quantity and quality of SOM to ammonium and …

The main objective of the paper was to determine the ligno-cellulose quality and calorific
value of switchgrass Panicum virgatum L. The impact of nutrition treatments (pre-sowing soil …

Phalaris aquatica L. is a cool-season perennial grass of the Mediterranean that has been
used for forage production, while recently was identified as a novel candidate for …

Two energy grass species, switch grass, a North American tuft grass, and reed canary grass,
a European native, are likely to be important sources of biomass in Western Europe for the …
