Giant Miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus), a hybrid species between Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Miscanths sinensis, is a promising biomass crop for temperate regions. Its origin was Japan, but it is commercially cultivated in Europe and north America countries, particularly in UK. It has many advantages for high biomass production with some environmental benefits such as high rate of carbon sequestration and efficient nutrient recycling. Our present research revealed that it shows high biomass potential in Hokkiado region from our local field trials.
