Optimization of the Alkaline Pretreatment of Rice Straw for Enhanced Methane Yield [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2013 The lime pretreatment process for rice straw was optimized to enhance the biodegradation performance and increase biogas yield. The optimization was implemented using response surface methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken experimental design. The effects of biodegradation, as well as the interactive effects of Ca(OH)2concentration, pretreatment time, and ...

Straw Incorporation Strategy on Cereal Crop Yield in China [PDF]
Crop Science, 2015 ABSTRACTStraw incorporation (SI) is considered a valid agricultural measure for ameliorating soil quality and sequestrating soil C. This study aimed to quantitatively summarize the response of cereal yield to SI management. Our results showed that compared with straw removal, SI could significantly enhance cereal yield by 7% over all of China across ...
