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 …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) may have value as forage and a bioenergy feedstock.
Our objective was to evaluate how harvest system and N fertilizer rates affected biomass …

Dedicated energy crops and crop residues will meet herbaceous feedstock demands for the
new bioeconomy in the Central and Eastern USA. Perennial warm-season grasses and corn …

Uncertainty in predictions of long-term yields of perennial grasses makes business plans
untenable in the short run. Long-term data across varied environments, including marginal …

This study presents a two-phase simulation-based framework for finding the optimal
locations of biomass storage facilities that is a very critical link on the biomass supply chain …

The capacity of perennial grasses to affect change in soil properties is well documented but
information on switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) managed for bioenergy is limited. An on …

Abstract Although the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely used
to assess the environmental impacts of growing perennial grasses for bioenergy production …

Abstract The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is increasingly used to quantify
hydrologic and water quality impacts of bioenergy production, but crop‐growth parameters …

Bioenergy feedstock production systems face many challenges, among which is the lack of
guidelines on sustainable biomass harvest thresholds and tillage cropping systems that …

The production potential of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has not been estimated in a
Mediterranean climate on a regional basis and its economic and environmental contribution …
