Miscanthus biomass productivity within US croplands and its potential impact on soil organic carbon
Open accessAbstract
Interest in bioenergy crops is increasing due to their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. We combined process‐based and geospatial models to estimate the potential biomass productivity of miscanthus and its potential impact on soil carbon stocks in the croplands of the continental United States. The optimum (climatic potential) rainfed productivity for field‐dried miscanthus biomass ranged from 1 to 23 Mg biomass ha−1 yr−1, with a spatial average of 13 Mg ha−1 yr−1 and a coefficient of variation of 30%. This variation resulted primarily from the spatial heterogeneity of effective rainfall, growing degree days, temperature, and solar radiation interception. Cultivating miscanthus would result in a soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration at the rate of 0.16–0.82 Mg C ha−1 yr−1 across the croplands due to cessation of tillage and increased biomass carbon input into the soil system. We identified about 81 million ha of cropland, primarily in the eastern United States, that could sustain economically viable (>10 Mg ha−1 yr−1) production without supplemental irrigation, of which about 14 million ha would reach optimal miscanthus growth. To meet targets of the US Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 using miscanthus as feedstock, 19 million ha of cropland would be needed (spatial average 13 Mg ha−1 yr−1) or about 16% less than is currently dedicated to US corn‐based ethanol production.

Modeling studies suggested that converting croplands to cellulosic biofuel crops (e.g., switchgrass, Miscanthus) can potentially sequester 0.2-0.9 t C ha−1 year−1, depending on crop species and local environment.
“Modeling studies suggested that converting croplands to cellulosic biofuel crops (e.g., swtichgrass, Miscanthus ) can potentially sequester 0.2 -0.9 t C ha 1 year 1 , depending on crop species and local environment (Qin et al. , 2012; Mishra et al. , 2013).”
From Influence of spatially dependent, modeled soil carbon emission factors on life‐cycle greenhouse gas emissions of corn and cellulosic ethanol (2016) · cites this paper as Mishra et al., 2013
The Soil organic carbon sequestration section models carbon gains after converting US croplands to Miscanthus and reports rates of 0.16–0.81 Mg C ha−1 yr−1, varying with location. This supports the claim’s general point, but not its stated 0.2–0.9 range; this paper does not model switchgrass. (LLM, conf=0.86)

“Long-term research on miscanthus in Europe indicates that the crop continues to sequester C over time, improving both the GHG balance of the system and the quality of the soil itself (Clifton-Brown et al., 2007; Don et al., 2012; Dondini et al., 2009; King et al., 2004; Mishra et al., 2013).”

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.
