Switchgrass is a broadly adapted warm-season grass species native to much of central and eastern North America. It holds the potential to be a good crop for biofuel production as it is a native species that requires minimal management, is an efficient energy source, has the ability to increase soil quality, and has a large potential to sequester carbon underground. Using multiple criteria analysis in arcGIS10 this study examines the potential suitability of land in Manitoba, Canada for switchgrass crop production. Specifically, land within the prairie ecozone was analyzed according to four factors: slope, aspect, soil properties, and current landuse categorization. The most suitable areas for the introduction of switchgrass crops in the prairie ecozone of Manitoba were then identified.
