The advent of lidar has revolutionized the way we observe and measure vegetation structure
from the ground and from above and represents a major advance toward the quantification …

Bioenergy from crops is expected to make a considerable contribution to climate change
mitigation. However, bioenergy is not necessarily carbon neutral because emissions of CO …

This paper describes the complete findings of the EU-funded research project OPTIMISC,
which investigated methods to optimize the production and use of miscanthus biomass …

Field trials in Europe with Miscanthus over the past 25 years have demonstrated that
interspecies hybrids such as M.× giganteus (M× g) combine both high yield potentials and …

Abstract The C 4 grass Miscanthus× giganteus is of increasing interest as a biomass
feedstock for renewable fuel production. This review describes what is known to date on M.× …

Demand for sustainably produced biomass is expected to increase with the need to provide
renewable commodities, improve resource security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions …

Purpose Perennial crops globally provide a lot of fruit and other food products. They may
also provide feedstock for bioenergy and have been, notably to this end, the subject of …

High salinity land may provide an alternative resource for the cultivation of dedicated
biomass crops for renewable energy and chemicals, thus avoiding competition for land use …

Miscanthus× giganteus is a highly productive, sterile, rhizomatous, C4 perennial grass that
should be considered as a feedstock for bioenergy production. Here, we review the current …

Abstract Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) features heavily in the
energy scenarios designed to meet the Paris Agreement targets, but the models used to …
