Sugarcane straw removal for bioenergy production will increase substantially in the next
years, but this may deplete soil organic carbon (SOC) and exacerbate greenhouse gas …

The rising CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere calls for not only the decarbonization of our
lifestyle but also the removal of CO 2 to meet the sustainable development goals. In this …

More than a century of land-use changes and intensive agriculture across the Mississippi
River Basin (MRB) has led to a degradation of soil and water resources. Nitrogen (N) …

Nitrogen fertilizer (NF) is a major uncertainty surrounding the greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions of lignocellulosic biofuels. NF enhances agronomic yields and soil C inputs via …

As global policymaking is moving toward the development of alternative energy sources, the
role of renewable energy has unequivocally become a viable and immediate alternative to …

Managing annual row crops on marginally productive croplands can be environmentally
unsustainable and result in variable economic returns. Incorporating perennial bioenergy …

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) sits at the nexus of the climate and
energy security. We evaluated trade-offs between scenarios that support climate …

Process-based models (PBM) are important tools for understanding the benefits of
Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems (ICLS), such as increasing land productivity and …

Predicting changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) in perennial biomass crops using process-
based models provides a greater understanding of land management impacts on climate …

Abstract Switchgrass [Panicum virgatum,(SG)] and miscanthus [Miscanthus spp.,(Mis)] are
perennial biomass crops (PBCs) commonly grown in Ontario, Canada. By the integration of …
