Land-based resources for engineered carbon dioxide removal in the United States exceed the expected needs
Available land for cellulosic biofuel production
The land that is potentially available to produce dedicated cellulosic bioenergy crops, often referred to as ‘marginal’ land, depends heavily on the underlying assumptions used to classify and identify it. In this study we compare three definitions and types of marginal land to identify the interactions between the bioenergy landscape and the logistics networks needed for the biofuel supply chain. Typical studies of the scale, cost, and greenhous…
Technology adoption and weed emergence dynamics
Ecological practices such as intercropping maize ( Zea mays ) with cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L.) have been promoted to combat parasitic weeds like Striga ( Striga asiatica ). Intercropping has been promoted across Africa as a Striga control practice (SCP) and food security measure. Despite past efforts, millions of smallholder farmers (cultivating < 2 ha of maize) still struggle to implement SCPs. Social and ecological factors that prevent SCP i…
Boosting climate change mitigation potential of perennial lignocellulosic crops grown on marginal lands
Nitrogen fertilizer (N F ) is a major uncertainty surrounding the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of lignocellulosic biofuels. N F enhances agronomic yields and soil C inputs via plant litters, but results in soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, soil N 2 O fluxes, and a large fossil energy footprint. Thus, whether N F is beneficial or detrimental to the GHG mitigation of biofuels is unknown. Here, we show the potential GHG mitigation of fertil…
Evidence for increasing global wheat yield potential
Wheat is the most widely grown food crop, with 761 Mt produced globally in 2020. To meet the expected grain demand by mid-century, wheat breeding strategies must continue to improve upon yield-advancing physiological traits, regardless of climate change impacts. Here, the best performing doubled haploid (DH) crosses with an increased canopy photosynthesis from wheat field experiments in the literature were extrapolated to the global scale with a …

Machine learning improves predictions of agricultural nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from intensively managed cropping systems
The potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N _2 O) is accumulating in the atmosphere at unprecedented rates largely due to agricultural intensification, and cultivated soils contribute ∼60% of the agricultural flux. Empirical models of N _2 O fluxes for intensively managed cropping systems are confounded by highly variable fluxes and limited geographic coverage; process-based biogeochemical models are rarely able to predict daily to monthly emissio…

Mid-20th century warming hole boosts US maize yields
The Corn Belt of the United States, one of the most agriculturally productive regions in the world, experienced a globally anomalous decrease in annual temperatures and a concurrent increase in precipitation during the mid- to late-20th century. Here, we quantify the impact of this ‘warming hole’ on maize yields by developing alternative, no warming hole, climate scenarios that are used to drive both statistical and process-based crop models. We …
Can multi-strategy management stabilize nitrate leaching under increasing rainfall
The increased spring rainfall intensity and amounts observed recently in the US Midwest poses additional risk of nitrate (NO 3 ) leaching from cropland, and contamination of surface and subsurface freshwater bodies. Several individual strategies can reduce NO 3 loading to freshwater ecosystems (i.e. optimize N fertilizer applications, planting cover crops, retention of active cycling N), but the potential for synergistic interactions among N mana…

Comparative water use by maize, perennial crops, restored prairie, and poplar trees in the US Midwest
Water use by plant communities across years of varying water availability indicates how terrestrial water balances will respond to climate change and variability as well as to land cover change. Perennial biofuel crops, likely grown mainly on marginal lands of limited water availability, provide an example of a potentially extensive future land cover conversion. We measured growing-season evapotranspiration (ET) based on daily changes in soil pro…
