Enhancing biomass production from marginal lands with perennial grasses (GRASSMARGINS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Perennial grasses, which once established can be harvested and re-grow annually for many decades, have a number of other beneficial characteristics which suit them as biomass crops. These include high resource use efficiency, high productivity, good environmental qualities and a wide range of end uses. Environmental benefits include high rates of soil carbon sequestration, enhanced biodiversity an ...
