1. Nitrogen and Harvest Impact on Biomass Yield of Perennial Warm-season Grasses

Uncertainties of the supply of fossil fuels from finite resources and the negative environmental impacts of their use are the two major driving forces for the search of alternative burning fuels. Perennial warm-season grasses have drawn interest as bioenergy feedstocks due to the high yielding capacity with minimal amounts of inputs under a wide range of geography, and the capability to produce multiple environmental benefits. Nitrogen (N) fertility and harvest management are considered as critical...
