Abstract

During a complex investigation programme on the evaluation of the long‐term ecological impact of cropping Miscanthus, the substrate composition of residues in 4–8‐year‐old stands of Miscanthus × giganteus and the contribution of Miscanthus residues to soil organic matter (SOM) were investigated. Only about 50 % of the above‐ground biomass produced yearly was suitable for harvest because of pre‐harvest losses and harvesting residues. The potential supply to SOM was therefore 3.1 t ha−1 carbon annually accumulated by the litter, and 9.1 t ha−1 carbon accumulated by rhizomes and roots in the long term. These organic residues mineralized differently in laboratory experiments at generally high rates of decomposition. Analysis of soluble portions of the organic substance of these biomass components by hydrolysis with hot water, 2 % HCl and 80 % H 2 SO 4 confirmed the results. Setting the SOM effect of an equivalent farmyard‐manure (FYM) supply to 100 %, Miscanthus residues reached 60 % (stubble, rhizomes), 80–90 % (pre‐harvest losses) and 100 % (roots). Established Miscanthus stands are able to produce about 8.2 t ha−1 organic substance, which is comparable with FYM in terms of SOM impact. This kind of calculation showed higher values for Miscanthus than for the agricultural crops investigated to date. An SOM increase of about 0.5 % on sandy soils and 0.2 % on silt soil was determined after 6–8 years of cropping Miscanthus × giganteus.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
