Energy cover crops for biogas production increase soil organic carbon stocks: A modeling approach

GCB Bioenergy, 2023
Energy cover crops for biogas production through anaerobic digestion (AD) are inserted between two primary crops. They replace either bare soil or nonharvested cover crops, and their management is usually intensified to produce more biomass.
