| Abstract | Grasslands enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) serve as one of the potential national herbaceous resources for use as a dedicated bioenergy feedstock. The goal of this project was to assess the yield potential and suitability of CRP grassland as a bioenergy feedstock source across the USA in regions with significant CRP land resources. In addition to that goal, one major objective of this project was to assess vegetation composition changes that also occurred on these different CRP grasslands over time with different harvest and fertilization management strategies. Three levels of nitrogen fertilization (0, 56, and 112 kg ha$^{−1}$) and two harvest timings [peak standing crop (PSC) or end of growing season (EGS)] were evaluated for effects on biomass production and resulting species composition changes. Three sites in regions containing concentrated tracts of CRP grassland and representing variable climatic parameters were analyzed for vegetation composition trends over the course of six growing seasons (2008–2013). Specifically, a mixture of warm-season perennial grasses was evaluated in Kansas (KS), while a cool-season mixture was evaluated in Missouri (MO). North Dakota (ND) contained a mixture of both warm- and cool-season grasses. At the MO and KS sites, nitrogen fertilization significantly altered the grass and legume composition over time by lowering the legume percentage in the stand. In KS and ND, the two sites with warm-season grasses, harvesting in mid-summer at PSC, greatly reduced warm-season grass composition over time in favor of annual cool-season grass invaders or perennial cool-season grasses. Any shift to less desirable or less productive species limits the ability of these lands to provide a sustainable or reliable feedstock for bioenergy production. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
