Biomass allocation in boreal plants with different ecological strategies
Russian Journal of Ecology, 2000In the boreal zone of the Middle Urals, biomass structure was studied in 35 species of wild plants with different ecological strategies according to Grime and Ramenskii (competitors, ruderals, and stress-tolerant plants). Plants belonging to these groups proved to differ considerably in the absolute plant weight and the quantitative contributions of ...

Assessing the ecological impacts of biomass harvesting along a disturbance severity gradient
Ecological Applications, 2019AbstractDisturbance is a central driver of forest development and ecosystem processes with variable effects within and across ecosystems. Despite the high levels of variation in disturbance severity often observed in forests following natural and anthropogenic disturbance, studies quantifying disturbance impacts often rely on categorical ...

Developing allometric models to predict the individual aboveground biomass of shrubs worldwide
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2019AIM: Existing global models to predict standing biomass are based on trees characterized by a single principal stem, well developed in height. However, their use in open woodlands and shrublands, characterized by multistemmed species with substantial ...

Aquatic ecological risks due to cyanide releases from biomass burning
Chemosphere, 2003Aquatic toxicity due to the creation and mobilization of chemical constituents by fire has been little studied, despite reports of post-fire fish kills attributed to unspecified pyrogenic toxicants. We examined releases of cyanides from biomass burning and their effect on surface runoff water.

Ecological optimization of biomass and lipid production by microalgae
2012Microalgae have higher growth rates and higher lipid content than terrestrial plants and the yield per unit area is even higher by several orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the production of microalgae does not compete for fertile land for food production.

Potential ecological consequences of forest biomass harvesting in California
Journal of Sustainable Forestry, 2015ABSTRACTThe expansion of forest biomass markets may affect California’s forests both positively and negatively. Existing research does not permit an exact assessment of biomass harvesting impact in each forest type, but policy decisions can still benefit from a synthesis of the available science.
