Soil Fertility for Biomass Crops

In response to the Bioenergy White Paper, soils in relation to diversified cropping systems will become a focal point due to the high demand for continuous corn production. With continuous corn production, crop rotations to protect the soil may not be used and using margin lands put into production may increase soil erosion and the loss of soil fertility.
