Improving the sustainability of energy crops production through phytoremeditation of contaminated land
Growing Perennial Rhizomatous Grasses on Contaminated Land: A Strategy for Combining Phyto-Management with Sustainable Biomass Production?
Short Introductive summary
Growing perennial rhizomatous grasses on contaminated land is an opportunity for combining phyto-management with sustainable biomass production. Here we report final results from 15 field scale trials to implement this strategy in five countries, part of the CERESiS (ContaminatEd land Remediation through Energy crops for Soil improvement to liquid biofuels Strategies) H2020 Project (GA 101006717).
