The product consists of small-diameter trees and woody biomass combined with recycled plastic containers. |
Species richness is low at high biomass because of dominance by a few strong competitors that create closed canopies. |
Originally these plants were meant to serve only as a cover crop, enriching the soil with nitrogen and biomass. |
We are exploring further opportunities for converting low-value biomass into bioenergy. |
The most common is activated sludge, a process in which microbes, also known as biomass, are allowed to feed on organic matter in the wastewater. |
Root respiration provides metabolic energy for growth and maintenance of root biomass and for ion transport. |
