Grassland carbon sequestration and emissions following cultivation in a mixed crop rotation [PDF]
, 2012 Grasslands are potential carbon sinks to reduce unprecedented increase in atmospheric CO2. Effect of age (1 to 4-yr-old) and management (slurry, grazing multispecies mixture) of a grass phase mixed crop rotation on carbon sequestration and emissions upon

How profitable is switchgrass in Illinois, USA? An economic definition of marginal land
Grassland Research, 2022 Background Decisions regarding the conversion of land from an existing crop to bioenergy crops are critical for the sustainable production of both food and fuels. This study seeks to establish criteria for delineating land as “economically marginal”, and
