Energy plants in the coastal zone of China: Category, distribution and development

Phytoremediation of Cadmium‐Contaminated Soil by Two Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) Genotypes

“…However, a lot of studies have focused on the metal tolerance and metal concentration in hyperaccumulator tissues [39,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59], but ignored the biomass production, which limited the applicability of results in terms of actual phytoextraction. For example, fast-growing plant as poplar (Populus deltoids  Populus nigra) exhibited high phytoextraction efficiency with high biomass production (Tab.…”

Optimizing net greenhouse gas balance of a bioenergy cropping system in southeast China with urease and nitrification inhibitors

“…Considering the conflicts existed between bioenergy and grain crops for limited farmland arable soils in China, the available non-cultivated coastal saline lands have been extensively exploited for bioenergy crops cultivation (Liu et al, 2012a,b). Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is known as one of the most potential alternatives as source of biofuel, which is widely grown in coastal zones due to its high biomass and growth rate, as well as its strong adaptability towards stress conditions such as soil salinity, drought and low soil nutrients availabilities (Long et al, 2005;Guo et al, 2011).…”

The exploitation of new energy plant from mangrove

“…19 There are also several unreported salt-tolerant energy plants species: (1) Calophyllum inophyllum: distributed in Guangdong, Hainan, and Taiwan; the seed is rich in oil content, ranging from 20% to 30%, which can be used in industry; (2) Radix wikstroemae: with an oil content of 39%; (3) Terminalia catappa: a conspicuous semi-deciduous tree in coastal areas throughout the warm tropics, which belongs to the Combretaceae. The sun-dried seeds could yield between 34% and 54% of bland, yellow, and semi-drying oil that is edible and mainly used in cooking; (4) Sesbania cannabina: erect, almost hairless, 1-3.5 m tall; stems are green or reddish/purple in color and much branched, generally on the upper stems.…”

“…Meanwhile, it is also reported that marine and aquatic plants, such as algae could be another resources of energy. 19 In the future, the exploitation of coastal energy plants for the world will attract more and more attention. Thus, we summarized and described the main energy plants of coastal land in South China, hoping to provide insight into the exploitation of energy resources.…”
