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.
Observation Average specific methane yield varied from 144 to 233 ml CH 4 g −1 VS between years.
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.

Other claims from this paper (5)

Intervention effect Ear numbers were lower in traffic lanes than in non-trafficked beds.
Intervention effect Grains from traffic lanes were heavier than those from non-trafficked beds, but the increased grain weight did not avoid a yield loss.
Intervention effect Yield in traffic lanes was on average around 17% lower than in non-trafficked beds.
Intervention effect At one site where the combine harvester effect could be isolated, the combine harvester more than doubled yield losses.
Intervention effect Length of time as a traffic lane had no measurable impact on the extent of yield reduction.
