Forest biomass

Forest biomass refers to the total mass of living and dead plant material found in a forest, including trees, shrubs, leaves, branches, and roots. It's a measure of the stored energy and carbon within the forest ecosystem. Forest biomass can be used as a renewable energy source when harvested sustainably, as it releases energy when burned or processed. Additionally, it plays a critical role in regulating the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide, supporting biodiversity, and maintaining ecosystem health. Measuring and managing forest biomass helps in understanding carbon cycles, combating climate change, and promoting sustainable forestry practices.
