The biomass distribution on Earth [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
SignificanceThe composition of the biosphere is a fundamental question in biology, yet a global quantitative account of the biomass of each taxon is still lacking. We assemble a census of the biomass of all kingdoms of life. This analysis provides a holistic view of the composition of the biosphere and allows us to observe broad patterns over taxonomic

Development of forest structure and leaf area in secondary forests regenerating on abandoned pastures in Central Amazonia [PDF]

, 2005
The area of secondary forest (SF) regenerating from pastures is increasing in the Amazon basin; however, the return of forest and canopy structure following abandonment is not well understood. This study examined the development of leaf area index (LAI),

Effect of Biomass Carbonization on the Grinding of Coal/Biomass Mixtures [PDF]

ACS Omega, 2020
To increase the co-firing ratio of biomass in existing pulverized coal-fired power plants, biomass should be pulverized to obtain a particle size suitable for combustion. However, evaluation of the particle size distribution of each coal and biomass mixture via traditional fuel analysis is difficult.

Energy from Biomass for Conversion of Biomass

Latvian Journal of Physics and Technical Sciences, 2009
Along with estimates of minimum energy required by steam explosion pretreatment of biomass some general problems concerning biomass conversion into chemicals, materials, and fuels are discussed. The energy necessary for processing biomass by steam explosion auto-hydrolysis is compared with the heat content of wood and calculated in terms of the amount ...

Effect of soil waterlogging on below-ground biomass allometric relations in Norway spruce [PDF]

, 2010
An increasing importance is assigned to the estimation and verification of carbon stocks in forests. Forestry practice has several long-established and reliable methods for the assessment of aboveground biomass; however we still miss accurate predictors ...
