Abstract
C fluxes in crops typical for bioenergy production are compared with conventional crop rotations. We provide indications of soil-crop balances for C and N within each studied system. For the three crops compared in this paper we found a high input of C into the soil by willow SRC and Miscanthus.
Standing biomass for willow SRC at the end of the 3 year coppice cycle was almost as large as the soil C pool in the upper 30 cm. Yearly C input by leaf fall was higher for Miscanthus x giganteus (2160 kg C/ha) than for willow SRC (1785 kg C/ha).
