Summary:I was invited to make a brief commentary on a recent article titled “Determining Spatially Varying Profit‐Maximizing Management Practices for Miscanthus and Switchgrass Production in the Rainfed United States” published in GCBB by Zhang et al. (2022). In the work, they propose management practices to maximize profitability through economically optimal N fertilizer application, temporal and spatial variation, and optimal age rotation of two energy crops. This interesting and thoroughly investigated result would be instructive for the applications of perennial energy crops.
