Given the mandated increases in fuel production from alternative sources, limited high-
quality production land, and predicted climate changes, identification of stress-tolerant …

Giant reed is known as one of the most important energy plants as a consequence of its
huge dry biomass production. It can be used for bioenergy or biopolymer production. Thus, it …

Modelling fire behaviour in forest fires is based on meteorological, topographical, and
vegetation data, including species' type. To accurately parameterise these models, an …

Production of biomass crops is competing with food production in terms of arable land,
therefore, attention is being given to the establishment of dedicated energy crops on …

This study aimed to evaluate the productivity of Arundo donax under good water and N
availability coming from non-conventional sources, in different Italian environments (Padova …

The giant reed is a fast growing herbaceous non-food crop considered as eligible alternative
energy source to reduce the usage of fossil fuels. Tolerance of this plant to abiotic stress has …

Biometric and physiological analyses of salt stress responses were performed in two time-
course experiments on giant reed (Arundo donax L). Experiment I evaluated biomass …

Rinsing tanks of crop sprayers produce significant volumes of Cu-rich Bordeaux mixture
effluents (BME) that can be treated by rhizofiltration in constructed wetlands (CWs). A pilot …

The effects of inorganic nitrogen (N) forms (NH 4+, NO 3− or both) at equimolar (0.5 mM)
concentrations on growth, biomass allocation, photosynthesis, nitrate reductase activity …

At very low concentrations selenium is an essential micronutrient for humans, animals and
some lower plants including algae and bacteria, whereas Se is extremely toxic at higher …
