The development and current status of perennial rhizomatous grasses as energy crops in the US and Europe (2003, background): “The potential zone for miscanthus production in Europe has been extended northwards by the screening and breeding of more frost-tolerant genotypes [111].”
Seasonal nitrogen dynamics of Miscanthus×giganteus and Panicum virgatum (2009, background): “…the suitability of M. giganteus for use in the Midwest is the capacity of this tropical grass to senesce and translocate soluble compounds before a killing freeze, given that previous work has typically been in milder climates, e.g., (Beale & Long, 1997; Clifton-Brown & Lewandowski, 2000).”
Miscanthus: A Promising Biomass Crop (2010, unknown): “One of the major limitations to the production of M. giganteus in temperate climates is consistent overwinter survival, particularly in the establishment year (Clifton-Brown and Lewandowski, 2000a; Farrell et al., 2006; Heaton et al., 2004b; Lewandowski et al., 2000, 2003b).”
Variability and adaptability of Miscanthus species evaluated for energy crop domestication (2012, background): “These field trials conducted in the United States and Europe are consistent in suggesting that while Miscanthus has a potential to provide a major source of renewable energy, realization of this potential depends heavily on the ability to utilize land located in cold and dry climates.”
An integrated biogeochemical and economic analysis of bioenergy crops in the Midwestern United States (2010, methodology): “As discussed in Clifton-Brown & Lewandowski (2000), extremely cold soil temperatures will kill rhizomes of Miscanthus giganteus.”
Miscanthus × giganteus productivity: the effects of management in different environments (2012, background): “Clifton-Brown & Lewandowski (2000) also suggest that larger plants tend to overwinter better than M. 9 giganteus plants that are shorter, have high rhizome moisture content, and that do not begin dormancy until the first fall frost occurs.”
Agronomic and physiological performances of different species of Miscanthus, a major energy crop. A review (2010, methodology): “During studies to compare M. giganteus, M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus under controlled conditions, a reduction in leaf area was observed in M. giganteus and M. sacchariflorus but not in M. sinensis under water stress (Clifton-Brown and Lewandowski, 2000a; Clifton-Brown et al., 2002).”
