The Arctic Plant Aboveground Biomass Synthesis Dataset [PDF]
Scientific DataPlant biomass is a fundamental ecosystem attribute that is sensitive to rapid climatic changes occurring in the Arctic. Nevertheless, measuring plant biomass in the Arctic is logistically challenging and resource intensive.

Intermediate coupling between aboveground and belowground biomass maximises the persistence of grasslands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Aboveground and belowground biomass compartments of vegetation fulfil different functions and they are coupled by complex interactions. These compartments exchange water, carbon and nutrients and the belowground biomass compartment has the capacity to ...

Aboveground biomass stocks of species-rich natural forests in southern China are influenced by stand structural attributes, species richness and precipitation [PDF]
Plant DiversityForests, the largest terrestrial carbon sinks, play an important role in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. Although forest attributes and environmental factors have been shown to impact aboveground biomass, their influence on biomass ...

Linear relationships between aboveground biomass and plant species diversity during the initial stage of degraded grassland restoration projects [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe relationship between aboveground biomass and plant diversity has been extensively examined to understand the role of biodiversity in ecosystem functions and services. Degraded grassland restoration projects can enhance carbon sequestration.
