Abstract

Among potential bioenergy crops in Europe, miscanthus has previously been found to have high biomass production (Heaton et al. 2004 ). As a C 4 plant, miscanthus has high water- and nitrogen-use effi ciencies (Lewandowski et al. 2000 ) securing high productivity from low inputs. However, C 4 photosynthesis also leads to a limitation of growth caused by low temperatures in spring (Naidu et al. 2003 ). Still, C 4 photosynthesis is not inherently limited to warm climates (Long and Spence 2013 ) as
experiments have shown that Miscanthus × giganteus was very productive in countries with a cooler climate such as Britain at 52°N (Beale and Long 1995 ).
Furthermore, experiments in China demonstrated that miscanthus has a high potential to grow at sites that are colder than their native habitats (Yan et al. 2012 ).
