Switchgrass cellulosic potential in the eastern Nebraska
Description
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) has been evaluated as one potential source for cellulosic biofuel feedstocks. Planting switchgrass in marginal croplands and waterway buffers can reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, and improve regional ecosystem services (i.e., it serves as a potential carbon sink). In this study, we integrated marginal croplands, highly erodible cropland buffers, and future crop expansion information to develop a switchgrass biofuel potential ensemble map for current and future croplands in eastern Nebraska.
