Utilization of nitrogen in legume-based mobile green manures stored as compost or silage [PDF]
The utilization of nitrogen (N) in green manure leys can be improved by harvesting, storage and spreading of the plant material as manure in other crops. By green manure storage as silage, storage losses of N are lower than by composting.

A novel decision support system for designing and assessing phytoremediation‐to‐biofuel value chains
Abstract The design of biofuel value chains is a complex process due to the large number of stakeholders involved, seasonality in feedstock availability, security of supply, logistics costs, efficiency considerations, and its multi‐node nature. Decisions on designing phytoremediation‐to‐biofuel value chains are even more complicated, due to the ...
