Data analyses: Tree
standing biomass (Y) was estimated from stand tables of tallied DBHs as described and calculated by Brown (1997) and then converted to Mg [ha.sup.-1].
His work showed that although warming may reassemble invertebrate communities and lower total invertebrate density, it may have a neutral effect on
standing biomass due to changes in the size structure of the community.
A rotation system can be used where trees are cut in a specific order or mature branches harvested, ensuring constant
standing biomass. Farmers could also harvest some trees then let the area naturally regenerate, protecting young shoots from being eaten by livestock.
Das, "Above ground
standing biomass and carbon storage in village bamboos in North East India," Biomass & Bioenergy, vol.
Inventory measurements were separated by age group, 5 to 7 years old and 8 to 12 years old, to determine mean
standing biomass quantities of 14.47 and 39.63 gt/acre respectively.
Hence, to compare the biomass and carbon stocks of Acacia and rubber, the average total
standing biomass over the lifespan of a typical forest plantation was adopted.
Therefore, the amount of nutrients stored by
standing biomass depends upon plant growth rate and nutrient content in tissues.
The Tephrosia
standing biomass input to the soil from the fallows was estimated at 3.5 t [ha.sup.-1] in all the treatments except for the no-input control.
Classifying the forest area into six levels of above-ground
standing biomass carbon density (tons/ha) shows this aggradation of carbon in greater detail (Fig.
Life history, population dynamics,
standing biomass and production of Bosminopsis deitersi (Cladocera) in a shallow tropical reservoir.
The 55% of
standing biomass composed of gizzard shad was slightly higher than the 45% found by Jenkins (1967) in southern ponds.
