Sustainable production model of lignocellulosic herbaceous plant on marginal land in China.

Lignocellulosic herbaceous plant has the potential to be cultivated on marginal land in large scale for a long run,for the sustainable production and supply of biomass feedstock in China in the future.Potential problems,due to the intensive production of biomass feedstock and the habitats of marginal land,would exert negative influences on its sustainable production.Based on the large-scale cultivation of lignocellulosic herbaceous plant on marginal land in Beijing suburb,the sustainable production techniques were proposed,namely,species screening,conservation tillage, mixed cultivation,water and fertilizer management,non-weeding,biomass harvest,etc.The sustainable production model of lignocellulosic herbaceous plant was constructed and the main research work on sustainable production technique was proposed,which would provide theoretical basis and technical support for the sustainable production and supply of non-food biomass feedstock on marginal land in China.
