  • Perennial biomass production from marginal land in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

Jeffrey J. Volenec spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Miscanthus, Perennial plant, Biomass and Evapotranspiration. His work on Yield as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Arabidopsis, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Miscanthus research incorporates elements of Drainage basin and Marginal land.

His study in Perennial plant is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both SWAT model, Surface runoff and Leaf area index. His Evapotranspiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil water, Corn stover, Crop rotation and Stover. His study in the field of Energy crop also crosses realms of Simulation modeling.
