Biomass is a valuable renewable source of energy as an alternative to fossil fuels. The main
barriers in biomass and biofuel development are feedstock high cost, lack of reliable supply …

Spectral reflectance data originating from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery is a
valuable tool to monitor plant nutrition, reduce nitrogen (N) application to real needs, thus …

Turfgrasses are used extensively throughout the world, and there is a steadfast demand to
develop turfgrass varieties with improved abiotic and biotic stress tolerances that will …

In this paper, a combined simulation/optimization model is developed to better understand
and evaluate the impact of the storage systems on the costs incurred by each actor in the …

Given the location of a bio-energy plant for the conversion of biomass to bio-energy, a
feedstock logistics system that relies on the use of satellite storage locations (SSLs) for …

In this paper, three scenarios are considered to quantify the impact of the biorefinery size on
the required biomass logistical resources. The biorefinery scenarios include small scale …

Satellite remote sensing of leaf nitrogen (N) content is an interesting technique for
agricultural crops for both economic and environmental reasons since it allows the …

Crop models are used to predict yield and resource requirements as well as to evaluate
different climate or management scenarios at a specific site. However, problems involving …

The issue of water and climate change is present in many countries. Drought stress is one of
the main abiotic stresses influencing turfgrass growth and quality. Tall fescue is the most …

In this study, the logistical resources required to develop a bioeconomy based on corn
stover in the USA are quantified, including field equipment, storage sites, transportation and …
