Soil CO2 Efflux and Root Productivity in a Switchgrass and Loblolly Pine Intercropping System

Soil CO2 Efflux and Root Productivity in a Switchgrass and Loblolly Pine Intercropping System

Switchgrass intercropped with loblolly pine plantations can provide valuable feedstock for bioenergy production while providing ancillary benefits like controlling competing vegetation and enhancing soil C. Better understanding of the impact of intercropping on pine and switchgrass productivity is r...
