Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Deeper soils with greater water holding capacity produced larger modeled net energy value.
- Observation Deeper soils with greater water holding capacity produced larger modeled carbon credit balance.
- Observation Net energy value and carbon credit balance had sigmoid relationships with irrigation amount and planting date.
- Observation Greater stover yield increased modeled NEV and CCB.
- Observation Longer travel distance decreased modeled NEV and CCB.
- Observation Stover yield influenced the balances more than travel distance.
- Recommendation Increasing feedstock yields should receive greater emphasis than shortening travel distance.
- Observation The modeled NEV and CCB indicated sustainable, environmentally friendly stover ethanol production in the Mississippi Delta.
- Observation Alternative crop management options could increase modeled energy sustainability and eco-friendliness.
