Marginal lands for bioenergy in China; an outlook in status, potential and management
China needs to focus on three fundamentals for sustainable energy development. It needs to develop an effective policy to give tax relief and other incentives to enterprises, to use marginal land to avoid competition with food crops and to develop crops that are well adopted on marginal lands.

Characterization and gas exchange in accessions of Saccharum complex under salinity in the Sub-middle São Francisco, Brazil [PDF]
Salinity is one of the factors that most limit agricultural yield in the Brazilian semi-arid region. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the leaf gas exchange and biometric characteristics of accessions of the Saccharum complex subjected

Enhancing crop diversity and yields are central to the development of sustainable bioenergy supply chains. This 3‐year project evaluated key traits for newly developed bioenergy grass hybrids from the relatively obscure genus Tripidium. Findings demonstrated that high dry biomass yields (23.7–60.6 Mg/ha), high potential ethanol yields (10,181–27,546 L ...

Root Morphology and Anatomy of Field-Grown Erianthus arundinaceus
Erianthus species are perennial C4 grasses with such high biomass productivity and high tolerance to environmental stresses that they can be grown in marginal land to supply raw material for cellulosic bioethanol. Because high biomass production and strong tolerance to environmental stresses might be based on their large and deep-root system, we ...

Nitrate Paradigm Does Not Hold Up for Sugarcane [PDF]
Modern agriculture is based on the notion that nitrate is the main source of nitrogen (N) for crops, but nitrate is also the most mobile form of N and easily lost from soil.
