Woody biomass from forestry or wood processing can be turned into bioenergy, as alternatives to LPG gas or coal, for example.

Multiple factors linked through complex networks of interaction including fertilization, aboveground biomass, and litter control the diversity of plant communities. The challenge of explaining plant ...

The Biomass Calculator is an extension of the Forest Inventory 2000 application. Forest Inventory 2000 was originally developed by Terence E. Hanley and Don Carlson, Indiana Department of Natural ...

Dominant species are thought to regulate species composition and assemblage structure. Invasion by a dominant species is thus likely to alter assemblages and anthropogenic disturbance often ...
