Book Synopsis Cellulosic Energy Cropping Systems by : Douglas L. Karlen
Download or read book Cellulosic Energy Cropping Systems written by Douglas L. Karlen. This book was released on 2014-06-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellulosic Energy Cropping Systems presents a comprehensive overview of how cellulosic energy crops can be sustainably produced and converted to affordable energy through liquid fuels, heat and electricity. The book begins with an introduction to cellulosic feedstocks, discussing their potential as a large-scale sustainable energy source, and technologies for the production of liquid fuels, heat and electricity. Subsequent chapters examine miscanthus, switchgrass, sugarcane and energy cane, sorghums and crop residues, reviewing their phylogeny, cultural practices, and opportunities for genetic improvement. This is followed by a detailed focus on woody crops, including eucalyptus, pine, poplar and willow. Critical logistical issues associated with both herbaceous and woody feedstocks are reviewed, and alternate strategies for harvesting, transporting, and storing cellulosic materials are also examined. The final sectionof the booktackles the challenge of achieving long-term sustainability, addressing economic, environmental and social factors. Cellulosic Energy Cropping Systems is a valuable resource for academics, students and industry professionals working in the field of biomass cultivation and conversion, bioenergy, crop science and agriculture. Topics covered include: Identifying suitable cellulosic energy crops that are adapted to a wide range of climates and soils Best management practices for sustainably growing, harvesting, storing, transporting and pre-processing these crops The development of integrated cellulosic energy cropping systems for supplying commercial processing plants Challenges and opportunities for the long-term sustainability of cellulosic energy crops This book was conceived and initiated by David I. Bransby, Professor of Energy and Forage Crops in the Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences at Auburn University, USA.

Book Synopsis The Hydrologic Sustainability of Second-generation Biofuel Cropping Systems by : Austin Parish
Download or read book The Hydrologic Sustainability of Second-generation Biofuel Cropping Systems written by Austin Parish. This book was released on 2018. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maize, switchgrass, miscanthus, and hybrid poplar are four of the leading crops considered as potential sources of biomass for conventional and cellulosic renewable biofuels. Many studies have investigated the evapotranspiration and soil water dynamics of these crops, but less is known about how they will affect deep drainage. More work is also needed to understand how the relationship between crop yield and water use will vary with climate. This thesis describes two studies investigating the hydrologic sustainability of these crops. The first is an observational study that makes use of yield, runoff, soil water content, and drainage measurements to estimate evapotranspiration and water use efficiency. Drainage was measured using automated equilibrium tension lysimeters. This advanced form of drainage measurement has not yet been used under this range of crops. The second study uses the Systems Approach to Land Use Sustainability (SALUS) crop growth model to simulate the response of crop yield and evapotranspiration to 30 years of variable climate. Results of these studies suggest that a) drainage under cellulosic crops will be significantly different from maize and b) climate will have a greater impact on the amount of water going to evapotranspiration than crop type.
