Forest disturbance and recovery: A general review in the context of spaceborne remote sensing of impacts on aboveground biomass and canopy structure [PDF]
, 2009 Abrupt forest disturbances generating gaps \u3e0.001 km2 impact roughly 0.4–0.7 million km2a−1. Fire, windstorms, logging, and shifting cultivation are dominant disturbances; minor contributors are land conversion, flooding, landslides, and avalanches ...

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.

Aboveground biomass of mongolian larch (Larix sibiricledeb.) forests in the eurasian region [PDF]
, 2019 We used our database of tree biomass with a number of 433 sample trees of Larix from different ecoregions of Eurasia, involving 61 trees from Mongolia for developing an additive model of biomass tree components.

Biomass Resources: Agriculture [PDF]
, 2017 Bioenergy is the single largest source of renewable energy in the European Union (EU-28); of this, 14% was produced from agricultural feedstocks in 2012. This chapter provides an overview of the current use (for bioenergy) and future potential of agricultural feedstocks for (amongst others) biorefinery purposes in the European Union.

Overexpression of GA20-OXIDASE1 impacts plant height, biomass allocation and saccharification efficiency in maize [PDF]
, 2015 Increased biomass yield and quality are of great importance for the improvement of feedstock for the biorefinery. For the production of bioethanol, both stem biomass yield and the conversion efficiency of the polysaccharides in the cell wall to ...

Characterization of the woody biomass feedstock potential resulting from California's drought. [PDF]
, 2020 Regional tree die-off events generate large quantities of standing dead wood, raising concern over catastrophic wildfire and other hazards. Governmental responses to tree die-off have often focused on incentivizing biomass energy production that utilizes

Catalytic effect of alkali metals on biomass pyrolysis kinetics [PDF]
, 2018 Biomass is a low-carbon, resource, which is finding increasing use for heating and the generation of electricity. Biomass pyrolysis plays a central role in its combustion and is therefore receiving extensive consideration. The decomposition of biomass is

Effect of weather on organic cropping systems in Kenya [PDF]
, 2008 Rainfall is the single most important factor affecting yield and biomass accumulation by crops as well as residue decomposition in the tropics. The ability to capture this resource in organic systems calls for appropriate techniques.

Assessing the sustainability of biomass supply chains for energy exploitation [PDF]
, 2014 Biomass use has increased significantly lately, partly due to conventional fuels price increase. This trend is more evident in rural areas with significant local biomass availability. Biomass may be used in various ways to generate heat.
