Yield potential of M iscanthus energy crops in the L oess P lateau of C hina
Open accessAbstract
Growing second‐generation energy crops on marginal land is conceptualized as one of the primary means of future bioenergy development. However, the extent to which marginal land can support energy crop production remains unclear. The L oess P lateau of C hina, one of the most seriously eroded regions of the world, is particularly rich in marginal land. On the basis of the previous field experiment of planting M iscanthus species in Q ingyang of the G ansu P rovince, herein, we estimated the yield potential of M iscanthus lutarioriparius, the species with the highest biomass, across the L oess P lateau. On the basis of the radiation model previously developed from M iscanthus field trials, annual precipitation was introduced as an additional variable for yield estimate in the semiarid and semihumid regions of the L oess P lateau. Of 62 million hectares (Mha) of the L oess P lateau, our model estimated that 48.7 Mha can potentially support M iscanthus growth, with the average yield of 17.8 t ha−1 yr−1. After excluding high‐quality cropland and pasture and land suitable for afforestation, a total of 33.3 Mha of presumably marginal land were left available for producing the energy crop at the average yield of 16.8 t ha−1 yr−1 and the total annual yield of 0.56 billion tons. The analysis of environmental factors indicated that erosion, aridity, and field steepness were the primary contributors to the poor quality of the marginal land. The change of land uses from traditional agriculture to energy crop production may prevent further erosion and land degradation and consequently establish a sustainable economy for the region.

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.
