D1.7. – Update of MAGIC-CROPS by including the information gathered in WPs 3-5

The MAGIC-CROPS database is an easy-to-use tool describing 37 promising species suited to marginal land as defined in the JRC’s report (EUR 23412 EN - 2008 and later modifications). The present deliverable is an updated version of D1.4 in which only 12 crops were included (switchgrass, camelina, sugar beet, willow, lupin, wild sugarcane, giant reed, Siberian elm, Spanish broom, tall wheatgrass, cardoon, lavender), otherwise in the present version additional 21 crops (sorghum, castor bean, miscanthus, crambe, amaranth, sunflower, Ethiopian mustard, flax, reed canary grass, safflower, nettle, pennycress, poplar, black locust, eucalyptus, wild tobacco, saltbush, Jerusalem artichoke, kenaf, sunn hemp, and cape spurge/euphorbia) are included for a total of 33. Furthermore, for crop scores, data derived, mainly from WP4 trials, have been used to update the values. The complete final version of the MAGIC-CROPS database will be included in D1.9 (M48) and contemporaneously uploaded on the MAGIC project website.
