Bioenergy from “surplus” land: environmental and socio-economic implications (2012, background): “A potential way out of this conflict may be provided by using the natural or semi-natural grassland biomass directly for energy conversion (Rösch et al. 2009; Bühle et al. 2010).”
Is energy cropping in Europe compatible with biodiversity? – Opportunities and threats to biodiversity from land-based production of biomass for bioenergy purposes (2013, background): “Little research has specifically investigated the effects of novel biomass crops such as short rotation coppice and perennial biomass grasses, on biodiversity, although the number of publications in this field has shown a gradual increase in the last years [29,34,59].”
Biochemical methane potential and biodegradability of complex organic substrates. (2011, background): “In Germany, the use of short rotation crops for bioenergy generation has been increasing, and in 2007 had an agricultural area of 500,000– 550,000 ha dedicated exclusively to produce energy crops to sustain its 3750 biogas plants (Rosch et al., 2009).”
