Influence of switchgrass management on soil microbial biomass and fatty acid methyl ester content in soil
(2020-07)
Switchgrass is a fairly new source of commercial biofuel feedstock. Its production can potentially preserve soil health and microbial functions in ecosystems. There is an increasing demand for large scale biomass production, ...
Tradeoff between water yield and biomass production associated with eastern redcedar encroachment into grassland ecosystems
(2019-12)
Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) is encroaching tallgrass prairie ecosystems in the southern Great Plains disrupting multiple ecosystem services provided by these ecosystems. While not suitable for row crop production, ...
Plant Stress and Drivers in Ecosystem Sustainability
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)
We sampled switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) in adjacent fields near Medford, OK. Fields were either enrolled in CRP or were considered old field. Switchgrass in the CRP plots appeared to have a higher soluble protein ...
Testing the Efficacy of a Polyester Bagging Method for Selfing Switchgrass, and Characterizing Male Sterility in Upland-lowland Switchgrass Hybrids and Their S1 Progenies
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
Panicum virgatum
Conceptual design for switchgrass production simulation in a biomass supply chain using GLADIS 2.0
(2020-12)
Switchgrass (Panicium vigratum) has been heavily evaluated as a model crop for producing cellulosic biomass. The lengthy productive lifetime of stands and longevity in non-ideal conditions makes it an ideal option for ...
Economic Impacts of Land Use Changes Associated with Switchgrass-based Ethanol Production in Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)
Completed the requirements for the Master of Science in Agricultural Economics at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma in May, 2012.Completed the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in Agricultural Economics ...
Effects of Torrefaction and Densification on Devolatilization Kinetics and Gasification Performance of Switchgrass
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)
The overall goal of this research was to investigate effects of pretreatments (torrefaction at 230 and 270°C, densification, and combined torrefaction and densification) on biomass properties, devolatilization kinetics ...
Population Biology of Switchgrass Rust (Puccinia Emaculata Schw.)
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a perennial warm season grass native to a large portion of North America. Because of its low input requirements, broad adaptation, and high yield potential, switchgrass has been used ...
Carbon Stocks in Perennial Biofuel Feedstock Management Systems
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)
Demand for alternatives to fossil fuels and the desire to mitigate CO<sub>2<sub> emissions has driven interest in cellulosic biofuel and methods of sequestering carbon (C). Perennial grasses have the potential to meet both ...
