Sustainable bioenergy production from marginal lands in the US Midwest

A comparative assessment of six alternative cropping systems over 20 years shows that, once well established, successional herbaceous vegetation grown on marginal lands has a direct greenhouse gas emissions mitigation capacity that rivals that of purpose-grown crops. Biofuel production at the margin...
