Several species of the genus Miscanthus are characterized by high biomass yields and low
input requirements, and there is increasing interest in their commercial use for bioenergy …

Many yield predictions in perennial bioenergy species have been made based on data
collected during the establishment phase of growth or a limited number of long‐term studies …

The sterile hybrid grass Miscanthus x giganteus (Mxg) can produce more than 30 t dry
matter/ha/year. This biomass has a range of uses, including animal bedding and a source of …

The weight share of the pith, nodes and internodes in the stalks of Miscanthus, as well as the
types of cells in these anatomical parts, were examined. Studies have shown that the pith …

Miscanthus is a C4 perennial grass originating from East Asia, the yields of which
progressively increase in the first years of growth. Several species for bioenergy have been …

Miscanthus has been used to breed a variety of energy crops suitable for cultivation in
various adverse environments. The collection, conservation, characterization and …

The intensification of livestock farming and use of arable forage crops has led to a decrease
in the area of grassland used for animal husbandry. One potentially profitable use of this …

Poor first winter survival in Miscanthus× giganteus has been anecdotally attributed to
incomplete first autumn senescence, but these assessments never paired first-year with …

The demand for perennial nonfood crops, such as miscanthus, is increasing steadily, as
fossil resources are replaced by biomass. However, as the establishment of miscanthus is …

The costly field establishment of the sterile perennial Miscanthus× giganteus from rhizomes
is a severe constraint for expanding the production area of this highly nutrient efficient …
