• Variability and adaptability of Miscanthus species evaluated for energy crop domestication (2012, background): “The hybrid displayed a high photosynthetic rate and high waterand nutrient-use efficiencies, making it a candidate for second-generation energy crops with high net energy output (Beale & Long, 1997; Beale et al., 1999; CliftonBrown & Lewandowski, 2000a; Lewandowski et al., 2000; Lewandowski & Schmid”
• The ecology and agronomy of Miscanthus sinensis, a species important to bioenergy crop development, in its native range in Japan: a review (2009, background): “Increases in soil organic C have been found in M. giganteus plantations in Europe (Kahle et al., 2001; Foereid et al., 2004; Hansen et al., 2004).”
• Characterization of flowering time diversity in Miscanthus species (2011, background): “Miscanthus giganteus has been studied in Europe over the past 20 years (Beale & Long, 1995; Lewandowski et al., 2000) and more recently in the United States, where it was found to exceed the productivity of common switchgrass and maize cultivars (Heaton et al.”
• Agronomic and physiological performances of different species of Miscanthus, a major energy crop. A review (2010, background): “M. giganteus production is characterised by low input levels, so that it is a relatively environmentally-friendly crop (Lewandowski et al., 2000).”
• 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): “5% N) are due to remobilization from aerial parts to rhizomes, the plant’s protein and starch reserves being transferred to the rhizome during winter, and then used for new stem growth the following spring (Beale and Long 1997; Himken et al. 1997; Lewandowski et al. 2000).”
• A reassessment of global bioenergy potential in 2050 (2015, background): “We expect overall slow yield growth of energy crops, especially for Miscanthus which is extremely difficult to breed (Lewandowski et al., 2000).”
• Seasonal nitrogen dynamics of Miscanthus×giganteus and Panicum virgatum (2009, methodology): “At least 2 weeks before planting clones were acclimated outdoors, and then hand planted into the field at 1 plant m 2 following recommended practice (Bullard, 1996; Lewandowski et al., 2000).”
• Genome Size of Three Miscanthus Species (2009, background): “Miscanthus is clonally propagated from rhizome cuttings which generate mature stands by year 3–4 providing yields which can be maintained for 20 or more years of production (Lewandowski et al. 2000).”
• Costs of producing miscanthus and switchgrass for bioenergy in Illinois (2008, unknown): “The yields of M. x giganteus have been found to range between 4 and 44 t DM ha À1 per year [5] [15].”
• Soil carbon changes under Miscanthus driven by C4 accumulation and C3 decompostion – toward a default sequestration function (2014, background): “Since the annual accumulation rate of SOC is unlikely to remain constant over the entire cropping period of 15–20 years (Lewandowski et al., 2000), the overall SOC stock change at a specific site can be more accurately detected in older plantations.”
• Nonnative Species and Bioenergy: Are We Cultivating the Next Invader? (2008, background): “Additionally, after nearly three decades of field research across Europe, there has not been a single report of escape beyond cultivation (Lewandowski et al. 2000).”
• Miscanthus: A Promising Biomass Crop (2010, unknown): “…M. giganteus has a high efficiency of water use, typically requiring between 100 and 300 l of water to produce 1 kg of biomass (Beale et al., 1999; Lewandowski et al., 2000;Mantineo et al., 2009) For comparison, typical values for an annual maize or sorghum crop are near the upper end of this…”
• Miscanthus × giganteus and Arundo donax shoot and rhizome tolerance of extreme moisture stress (2013, background): “, both native to Asian grasslands extending from temperate northeastern Siberia (50°N) to tropical Polynesia (22°S) (Lewandowski et al., 2000; Glowacka, 2011).”
• Miscanthus × giganteus productivity: the effects of management in different environments (2012, background): “Waiting to harvest until winter or early spring reduces yields, but the need for fertilization is reduced and feedstock quality is improved (Beale & Long, 1997; Lewandowski et al., 2000; Clifton-Brown & Lewandowski, 2002; Heaton et al., 2009).”
