Towards identifying industrial crop types and associated agronomies to improve biomass production from marginal lands in Europe

Growing industrial crops on marginal lands has been proposed as a strategy to minimize competition for arable land and food production. In the present study, eight experimental sites in three different climatic zones in Europe (Mediterranean, Atlantic and Continental), seven advanced industrial crop species [giant reed (two clones), miscanthus ( M . × giganteus and two new seed‐based hybrids), saccharum (one clones), switchgrass (one variety),...
