Potential Benefits and Risks for Soil Health Derived From the Use of Organic Amendments in Agriculture (2019, background): “Crop residues are defined as the “non-edible part of the plant that is left in the field after harvest” [33], while the term green manure refers to “specific forage or crop varieties that are incorporated into the soil while green or soon after maturing” [34].”
Quality and decomposition in soil of rhizome, root and senescent leaf from Miscanthus x giganteus, as affected by harvest date and N fertilization (2010, background): “…generally speaking, the strategy of harvesting the “whole biomass” from energy crops or of exporting cereal straw as sources for bioethanol feedstock, raises question of the sustainability of the crop production and of the soils quality, on the longer term (Lal 2005; Saffih-Hdadi and Mary 2008).”
Life cycle assessment of bioenergy systems: state of the art and future challenges. (2011, background): “There is an ongoing debate on the actual possibilities of crop residue removal from agricultural cropping systems for bioenergy production (Lal, 2005; Wilhelm et al., 2004).”
Genetic Improvement of Sorghum as a Biofuel Feedstock: II. QTL for Stem and Leaf Structural Carbohydrates (2008, neutral): “still, however, confl ict with goals for wisely managed soil and wildlife conservation, and the need for cautious development of sustainable technologies for dedicated biomass production remains ( Lal, 2005; Bies, 2006).”
LivestockPlus - The sustainable intensification of forage-based agricultural systems to improve livelihoods and ecosystem services in the tropics * (2015, positive): “Crop residues (CR) are an important strategic feed resource (Blümmel et al. 2012), totaling 3.8 Bt DM/yr worldwide, of which cereals contribute 74%, sugar crops 10%, legumes 8%, tubers 5%, and oil crops 3% (Lal 2005).”
Agricultural residue production and potentials for energy and materials services (2014, background): “A later study by Lal [61] estimates the global residue production to 3.4 Pg yr 1 in 1991 and 3.8 Pg yr 1 in 2001, with cereals accounting for 74e75% of the total and the six crops analyzed here accounting for 78e82%.”
Biofuels: Efficiency, Ethics, and Limits to Human Appropriation of Ecosystem Services (2010, methodology): “…sustainable amount of appropriation of crop residues, and that this depends on many factors (from the soil characteristics to the climate, from the crops to the environment at large), so a precautionary approach has to be applied (as stated also by previous authors, e.g., Lindstrom 1986; Lal 2005).”
Exploitation of renewable energy for sustainable development and overcoming power crisis in Bangladesh (2014, neutral): “[57] as the non-edible plant parts that are left in the field after harvest.”
Second-Generation Biofuels: Economics and Policies (2010, background): “Table 1 shows the composition of select agricultural residue feedstocks, fraction of crop residues produced, and potential ethanol yield. followed by Lal (2005) to calculate the global amount of crop residue production.”
