      abstract     = {Miscanthus (ANDERSSON) is considered a promising perennial
                      industrial crop for providing biomass in a growing
                      bioeconomy. One approach to increasing the
                      biodiversity-enhancing ecosystem services of Miscanthus is
                      the co-cultivation of flower-rich native wild plant species
                      (WPS), for example, the perennial WPS common tansy
                      (Tanacetum vulgare L.) and mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.),
                      as well as the biennial WPS wild teasel (Dipsacus fullonum
                      L.) and yellow melilot (Melilotus officinalis L.). This
                      study tested whether these selected WPS would be as suitable
                      for combustion as Miscanthus, in this case the sterile
                      hybrid Miscanthus x giganteus Greef et Deuter, allowing for
                      a mixing of the biomasses. By doing so, no additional value
                      chain (e.g. biogas production) would be necessary to
                      economically exploit the diversification of the agricultural
                      system for bioenergy production. Feedstock samples of
                      Miscanthus and the four above-mentioned WPS from a field
                      trial in southwest Germany were used to investigate the
                      combustion characteristics as well as the higher heating
                      value (HHV). It was found that all WPS exhibited better
                      combustion properties than Miscanthus with respect to ash
                      melting behavior at similar HHVs of 16.3–17.5 MJ kg−1.
                      From an admixture of $>30\%$ WPS to the Miscanthus biomass,
                      a significant increase in the ash melting temperature by
                      $20\%$ from 1000 to 1200 °C was shown. Thus, the mixture of
                      WPS and Miscanthus could potentially improve the combustion
                      quality, leading to reduced costs in the incineration plant
                      operation process. However, the reduced costs of
                      incineration should be greater than the loss in productivity
                      due to the lower biomass yields from the WPS. This is highly
                      dependent on the particular site conditions and the
                      establishment success of the WPS and needs to be
                      investigated in long-term studies.},
