A recent study published in @CanJSoil Sci found that there was no GHG effect from growing perennial bioenergy crops on marginally productive croplands. Read more in this #GroundedInSoils blog post: https://t.co/E5ODYsT37z

A research team looked at the amount of GHG produced from biofuel plants. @Augusti2016 and team looked at GHG emissions from the perennial crops miscanthus, switchgrass, and willow. Learn more here: https://t.co/E5ODYsT37z

@OelbermannMaren @CareNeverStops Hopefully, you are saving enough energy for the ride😊

[Prof. Maren Oelbermann @OelbermannMaren]

Cancer has touched many of our loved ones. So we are doing something about it. We are getting ready for our fundraising with @CareNeverStops. All donations go directly to the GRH and tax receipts will be provided. Please donate here: https://t.co/FDIxSavCmc

Freeze- thaw affect Greenhouse gas emission from Miscanthus and Switchgrass fields differently.

@Augusti2016 shares the details at @Agroforest2022

[Prof. Maren Oelbermann @OelbermannMaren]

@Augusti2016 freeze-thaw experiment on soil from perennial bioenergy plantations on marginal land is now underway.

[Augustine Osei, PhD, PAg @Augusti2016]

@OelbermannMaren Wow! Congrats

[Augustine Osei, PhD, PAg @Augusti2016]

@PabloLR16 You are right @PabloLR16, especially, when you have to do it by making sure you don't disturb the soil or breaking the plant. It was difficult but doable.

[Augustine Osei, PhD, PAg @Augusti2016]

@PabloLR16 @OelbermannMaren For gas sampling, plants are folded into the chamber head space as shown in this picture

[Prof. Maren Oelbermann @OelbermannMaren]

Our winter freeze-thaw field work continues in the biomass bioenergy plantations with @Augusti2016
