Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Single harvest gave the highest annual dry matter yield of 59.0 Mg DM ha −1.
- Intervention effect DH1 had 30% lower dry matter yield than single harvest.
- Intervention effect DH2 had 15% lower dry matter yield than single harvest.
- Intervention effect Harvesting twice gave little specific methane yield advantage.
- Association Specific methane yield tended to fall as harvested biomass aged.
- Association Methane yield per hectare was driven by dry matter yield.
- Intervention effect Single harvest produced the highest methane yield per hectare, averaging 9110 m 3 CH 4 ‐STP ha −1.
- Recommendation The authors recommend single annual harvest at the end of the growing season to maximize methane production.
