Long-Term IBERS Study Reveals Genotypic Influence on Soil Carbon Sequestration in Miscanthus
08 October 2025
A new study from researchers at IBERS, Aberystwyth University, has shown that different Miscanthus genotypes vary widely in their ability to store carbon in soils. A genotype refers to the genetic makeup of a plant, which influences its traits such as growth, yield, and ability to store carbon. This could have major implications for climate change mitigation and plant breeding.
