35 Citations | The necessary and sufficient condition for ecosystem stability is shown to be that energy content per unit biomass increase in a hierarchical fashion as one climbs the trophic ladder. |
| Biomass size distributions provide a holistic ecosystem description that facilitates ecosystem comparisons in time and space. | |
16 Citations | Biomass energy was clearly distinguished into three axes, suggesting that biomass is strongly related to the location and ecosystem, while the distribution of the types of ecosystem services in the studied areas was not separated clearly. |
45 Citations | However, they are more efficient in transferring the biomass to the highest trophic levels. |
| Biomass and productivity were not strongly related, showing that they provide unique information on ecosystem functioning in this system. | |
33 Citations | The results presented here show that in spite of a strong degradation of the trees and severe climatic conditions, the aerial biomass is included in the brackets defined by other authors for this kind of ecosystem. |
108 Citations | Comparison with data on dry matter indicated that the aboveground biomass accounted for about 45–70% of the net carbon uptake, suggesting the importance of the below ground biomass in estimating net primary productivity in this ecosystem. |
42 Citations | The results suggest that there are sufficient data available to construct an ecosystem model, but the quality of the data varies and serious potential sources of error are present in biomass and discard estimates. |

What are the different types of biomass?5 answersBiomass refers to organic materials found in the biosphere, including both phytological and zoological mass. There are various types of biomass identified in the provided abstracts. These include woody, herbaceous, and municipal solid waste (MSW) biomass feedstocks such as lodgepole pine, hybrid poplar, corn stover, switchgrass, and other agricultural straws. Biomass burning is categorized into six types: open burning, agricultural waste burning, meat and fish roasts, wood stoves and boilers, furnaces, and charcoal burners. Biomass resources encompass a wide range of organic materials that can be renewed, such as plants and trees specifically grown for energy, food crops, agricultural waste, forestry waste, aquatic plants, animal waste, urban waste, and other waste materials. Industrial activities, municipal waste, and land clearance operations are major sources of large-scale biomass production, including agricultural biomass wastes like crop stalks, leaves, roots, fruit peels, and seed/nut shells, as well as animal biomass like feathers, bones, scales, and skin.
