This dataset contains the aboveground biomass data for four biomass crops (MS = Miscanthus; PO = Hybrid Poplar; WW = willow; SG = Switchgrass) at the end of the growing season in the year the crop were established (2019). Each crop was treated with one of four soil amendment treatments (CT = untreated control; DG = liquid anaerobic digestate; PS = pulp-mill sludge; SE = seaweed extract).
Miscanthus plantlets were planted at 22,000 plants/ha; multiply g/plant by 22 to calculate kg/ha. Hybrid Poplar and Willow cuttings were planted at 16,250 plants/ha; multiply g/plant by 16.25 then by survival rate to calculate kg/ha. Switchgrass seed was planted at 8 kg/ha in 40,000 patches/ha (0.2 g seed/patch); 1 sample = DW/patch; multiply g/sample by 40 to calculate kg/ ha.
