Re: [ECOLOG-L] Switch grass as a biofuel

I can see unscrupulous people tossing seeds out the window as the drive to promote the various exotics to then follow up making $$ by harvesting them. With tobacco companies covering up cancer-causing compounds, pesticide companies covering up environmental impacts, and the huge mass of misinforma

[ECOLOG-L] Logger advice

Dear All,I am about to buy an instrument capable of autonomously measuring oxygen, pH, temperature, depth and salinity in marine environments (up to 30 m depth, 3-5 day continuous deployments). Does anyone have experience using the In Situ Troll 9500 for marine deployments? I am trying to choos

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Switch grass as a biofuel

" If someone can grow switch grass as a crop without irrigation, without cultivation, without energy inputs that exceed the yield, great. I am all for it." Switchgrass already grows spontaneously as part of a diverse assemblage of plants (which are also biomass...). Regular harvesting, in many

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Switch grass as a biofuel

It is my understanding that switchgrass is the species of choice because it is said to be fast-growing, high in cellulose productivity, tolerant of drought and poor soils. The University of Tennessee Knoxville has been researching the possibilities of switchgrass to ethanol production in colla
