Miscanthus × giganteus productivity: the effects of management in different environments (2012, background): “Waiting to harvest until winter or early spring is the recommended practice and results in approximately a 33% reduction from peak biomass yields (Lewandowski et al., 2003), lost primarily from drying tissue and senesced leaves that have dropped from the stems.”
The economical and environmental performance of miscanthus and switchgrass production and supply chains in a European setting (2009, background): “28% K (switchgrass) [22,35,39–42] Further, the amount of N removed from the field is increased by 43% to account N lost in runoff water, percolation water and N lost through soil erosion and volatisation [39].”
Costs of producing miscanthus and switchgrass for bioenergy in Illinois (2008, unknown): “Based on field trials in Europe we assume that harvesting miscanthus in December leads to yield losses of 33% of peak yields in October and moisture content of 20% [45,46].”
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): “giganteus (CliftonBrown et al., 2001, 2002; Lewandowski et al., 2003), and had higher yield when grown under stressed conditions in Europe (Farrell et al.”
Morphological and physiological traits for higher biomass production in perennial rhizomatous grasses grown on marginal land (2015, background): “…2002), frost tolerance (Clifton-Brown & Lewandowski, 2000), maintenance of growth at low temperatures (Farrel et al., 2006), chemical composition (Lewandowski et al., 2003), resistance to pests and diseases (Clifton-Brown et al., 2008), altering plant architectural features such as dwarf…”
Seasonal nitrogen dynamics of Miscanthus×giganteus and Panicum virgatum (2009, background): “Retention of leaves by biomass feedstocks has been linked to higher ash contents and residual mineral content with negative impacts on biofuel quality (Lewandowski et al., 2003a; Turn et al., 2003).”
Seasonal dynamics of above‐ and below‐ground biomass and nitrogen partitioning in Miscanthus × giganteus and Panicum virgatum across three growing seasons (2012, background): “This reduces, and in some cases eliminates, the need to use nitrogen and other fertilizers (Lewandowski et al., 2003b; Christian et al., 2008; Strullu et al., 2011).”
The impact of soil salinity on the yield, composition and physiology of the bioenergy grass Miscanthus × giganteus (2017, background): “In second-generation biomass crops such as Miscanthus, the quality of biomass may impact upon combustion properties and lower the ash melting temperature, affecting the degree of fouling, slagging and corrosion (Lewandowski et al., 2003).”
Characterization of flowering time diversity in Miscanthus species (2011, methodology): “We intended to combine the flowering and climate data collected in 1999 from the previously published European Miscanthus Improvement (EMI) experiments (Clifton-Brown et al., 2001; Lewandowski et al., 2003) with new values from Aberystwyth to test for genotypic consistency in the order of flowering ”
