Carbon and Nitrogen dynamics in Miscanthus x giganteus biomass crop over a decade

Abstract

Miscanthus x giganteus (miscanthus) is a perennial rhizomatous grass with a C4 photosynthetic pathway. It is considered an ideal biomass energy crop because of its carbon (C) sequestration potential, water use efficiency, and low fertilizer requirements.
