The Importance of Consistent Global Forest Aboveground Biomass Product Validation [PDF]

Surveys in Geophysics, 2019
Several upcoming satellite missions have core science requirements to produce data for accurate forest aboveground biomass mapping. Largely because of these mission datasets, the number of available biomass products is expected to greatly increase over the coming decade.

Challenges to aboveground biomass prediction from waveform lidar

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
AbstractAccurate accounting of aboveground biomass density (AGBD) is crucial for carbon cycle, biodiversity, and climate change science. The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), which maps global AGBD from waveform lidar, is the first of a new generation of Earth observation missions designed to improve carbon accounting. This paper explores

Effect of altitude and soil properties on biomass and plant richness in the grasslands of Tibet, China, and Manang District, Nepal

Ecosphere, 2019
A positive relationship between plant species richness and biomass has often documented in temperate grassland systems but is still largely lacking in the Himalayan region.

Positive relationships among aboveground biomass, tree species diversity, and urban greening management in tropical coastal city of Haikou

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Within urban green spaces, tree species diversity is believed to correlate with aboveground biomass, though there is some disagreement within the literature on the strength and directionality of the relationship.

Former land use affects the nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and biomass of forest herbs [PDF]

, 2011
The colonization rates of understorey plants into forests growing on former agricultural land differ remarkably among species. Different dispersal and recruitment largely account for the contrasting colonization rates, but different effects of the soil ...

Smooth additive mixed models for predicting aboveground biomass [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics, 2016
Aboveground biomass estimation in short-rotation forestry plantations is an essential step in the development of crop management strategies as well as allowing the economic viability of the crop to be determined prior to harvesting. Hence, it is important to develop new methodologies that improve the accuracy of predictions, using only a minimum set of

Aboveground traits define differences in biomass allocation among 16 prairie species

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2020
Prairie plants of the U.S. Midwest are used for stormwater management because of their purported belowground biomass, but species‐specific data are lacking by which hundreds of prairie species may be evaluated with respect to potential biomass.

Assessing forest availability for wood supply in Europe [PDF]

, 2019
The quantification of forests available for wood supply (FAWS) is essential for decision-making with regard to the maintenance and enhancement of forest resources and their contribution to the global carbon cycle.

Not only phosphorus: dauciform roots can also influence aboveground biomass through root morphological traits and metal cation concentrations

Frontiers in Plant Science
BackgroundPhosphorus in the soil is mostly too insoluble for plants to utilize, resulting in inhibited aboveground biomass, while Carex can maintain their aboveground biomass through the presence of dauciform roots.

Ratio estimators for aboveground biomass and its parts in subtropical forests of Brazil

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Researchers on forest biomass seek to develop or find methods of simple application, whose estimators reveals the best performance and provide the additivity of the biomass parts.
