Abstract

The Comparison of Biofuel Systems (COBS) project is a long-term, 20-acre field experiment designed to provide quantitative, side-by-side comparisons of corn- and prairie-based biofuel feedstock production systems with respect to biomass yields, liquid fuel potential, and multiple environmental impacts. Here, we report on above- and below-ground biomass production from selected treatments.
