DOI: 10.1007/s10457-018-0200-3
Abstract: Free-range pig production is typically associated with high risks of nitrogen (N) leaching due to the pigs excretory behaviour creating nitrogen ‘hotspots’ and rooting behaviour destroying the grass sward. This challenge is reinforced at high… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40710-018-0311-x
Abstract: Today, traditional biomass contributes 75% to total bioenergy use, but the share of modern biomass, e.g., for biofuels or electricity, increases. Bioenergy derives from first (food crops), second (energy crops or agricultural residues) and third… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s2095-3119(15)61181-9
Abstract: Abstract Among the potential non-food energy crops, the sugar-rich C4 grass sweet sorghum and the biomass-rich Miscanthus are increasingly considered as two leading candidates. Here, we outline the biological traits of these energy crops for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcbb.12413
Abstract: Given the growing need for biofuel production but the lack of suitable land for producing biomass feedstock, development of stress‐tolerant energy crops will be increasingly important. We used comparative transcriptomics to reveal differential responses to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agriculture11090822
Abstract: The growing world population and the necessity to meet its nutritional needs despite the limited area of agricultural land pose a serious challenge for agriculture. Agriculture is responsible for 80–95% of total ammonia emissions to… read more here.
