Biomass
Biomass, the contraction for biological IIIXS, is the amount of living material provided by a given area or volume of the earth’s surface, whether terrestrial or aquatic. Biomass is important for commercial uses (e.g. fuel and fiber) and for national development planning, as well as for scientilic studies of ecosys- tem productivity, energy and nutrient flows, and for assessing the contribution of changes in forestlands (especially tropical) to the global carbon cycle.
