The biomass distribution on Earth

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance The 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.

Microbial Biomass Estimation

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2005
The development of a fully automated on-line monitoring and control system is very important in bioprocesses. One of the most important parameters in these processes is biomass. This review discusses different methods for biomass quantification. A general definition of biomass and biovolume are presented.
