Alejandra Navarro et al.
The productivity of short-rotation coppice (SRC) plantations with poplar (Populus spp.) strongly depends on soil water availability, which limits the future development of its cultivation, and makes the study of the transpirational water lo...
Contribution of volatile organic compound fluxes to the ecosystem carbon budget of a poplar short-rotation plantation [0.03%]

Oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus L.) is a major crop in temperate regions and provides an important source of nutrition to many of the yield-enhancing insect flower visitors that consume floral nectar. The manipulation of mechanisms that c...
Predicting future biomass yield in Miscanthus using the carbohydrate metabolic profile as a biomarker [0.03%]
以碳水化合物代谢谱作为生物标记预测芒草的未来生物量产量

Anne L Maddison et al.
In perennial energy crop breeding programmes, it can take several years before a mature yield is reached when potential new varieties can be scored. Modern plant breeding technologies have focussed on molecular markers, but for many crop sp...
Can the agricultural AquaCrop model simulate water use and yield of a poplar short-rotation coppice? [0.03%]
AquaCrop模型能否模拟杨树林木栽培的耗水和产量?

We calibrated and evaluated the agricultural model AquaCrop for the simulation of water use and yield of a short-rotation coppice (SRC) plantation with poplar (Populus) in East Flanders (Belgium) during the second and the third rotation (fi...
Could Miscanthus replace maize as the preferred substrate for anaerobic digestion in the United Kingdom? Future breeding strategies [0.03%]
芒草会成为英国厌氧消化的首选底物取代玉米吗?未来的育种策略
Sarah J Purdy,Anne L Maddison,Christopher P Nunn et al.
Sarah J Purdy et al.
Fodder maize is the most commonly used crop for biogas production owing to its high yields, high concentrations of starch and good digestibility. However, environmental concerns and possible future conflict with land for food production may...
