Combined Carbon And Albedo Climate Forcing From Pine And Switchgrass Grown For Bioenergy
Ahlswede, B. J., O'Halloran, T. L., Thomas, R. Q.

Expanding and restoring forests decreases atmospheric carbon dioxide, a natural solution for helping mitigate climate change. However, forests also have relatively low albedo compared to grass and croplands, which increases the amount of solar energy they absorb into the climate system. An alternative natural climate solution is …

A Minimally Managed Switchgrass Ecosystem In A Humid Subtropical Climate Is A Source Of Carbon To The Atmosphere
Ahlswede, B. J., O'Halloran, T. L., Forsythe, J. D., Thomas, R. Q.

Bioenergy has been identified as a key component of climate change mitigation. Therefore, quantifying the net carbon balance of bioenergy feedstocks is crucial for accurate projections of climate mitigation benefits. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) has many characteristics of an ideal bioenergy crop with high yields, low maintenance, …
