The perennial biogas crops cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) and field grass pose better autumn and overwintering habitats for arthropods than silage maize (Zea mays L.)

Abstract: Perennial energy crops (PECs) can reduce the negative impacts of intensive silage maize cultivation on agroecosystems in Central Europe. Furthermore, the remaining vegetation of PECs after harvest may provide suitable habitat and more beneficial overwintering conditions for arthropods than maize. It was hypothesized that after harvest and in winter, arthropod abundance and biomass are higher in PECs than in silage maize. In a field experiment arranged in a factorial split-plot design of eight main plots (plot … Show more

“…1. The monthly harvest data and yields for different energy crops, including rapeseed, 49 maize silage, and wheat, 50,51 field grass from arable land, 52 grassland, 53 miscanthus, 54,55 and sugar beet, 56,57 are extracted and normalized to a yearly total of 100%. Poplar is harvested from January, and is commercially available until mid-October; 58 one can therefore assume that the poplar wood quality and properties are less affected by storage time in comparison with other biomass types.…”
