All plants and animals of the desert are part of the biomass of the desert.
What are the affects of biomass on our ozone layer?
The biomass seems to maintain a level of oxygen, from which ozone is made. If biomass is burned, chlorinated / brominated compounds are released into the atmosphere, some small part of whihc make it to the ozone layer to increase depletion.

Which item is part of the biomass of a desert - cactus or rock or sand or sunlight?
A cactus is part of the biomas. All other factors listed are abiotic.
Define chemical energy?
Bio energy or Biomass refers to the Carbon that is being locked up in organic compounds. Sources of biomass are wood, forest and agricultural waste, animal waste, domestic sewage, industrial waste/effluent, landfills, etc.,. This Biomass can be converted into a concentrated source of Carbon in the form of a solid, liquid or gaseous fuel and can be used to produce Heat, Electricity and Motive power for transportation.
What does a biomass pyramid measure?
Biomass. Pyramids of biomass and number are scientific models to represent all the things eaten in a foodchain. Pyramids of number are flawed as a great many insects may feed on a tree, for example, producing a narrow base to the pyramid. Pyramids of biomass are a better model as they show the dry mass of each part of the food chain and give a better indication of the energy passed between trophic layers. Biomass pyramids show the abundance of organisms at each trophic level.
What exactly is biomass energy?
The catch-all term biomass includes all the living organisms in an area. Wood, crops and crop waste, and wastes of plant, mineral, and animal matter are part of the biomass. Much of it is in garbage, which can be burned for heat energy, or allowed to decompose and produce methane gas. However, some crops are grown specifically for energy, including sugar cane, sorghum, ocean kelp, water hyacinth, and various species of trees. It has been estimated that 90% of United States waste products could be burned to provide as much energy as 100 million tons of coal (20% will not burn, but can be recycled). In western Europe, there are over 200 power plants that burn rubbish to produce electricity. Biomass can be converted into biofuels such as biogas or methane, methanol, ethanol, etc. However, the process has been more costly than the congenital fossil fuel processes. Rubbish buried in the ground can provide methane gas through an aerobic decomposition. One ton of refuse can produce 8,000 cubic feet (227 cubic meters) of methane. Worldwide there are 140 such schemes that tap into the underground rubbish "tips".
Is biomass bad for the environment?
The biomass is the amount of living matter in an environment. It is neither good nor bad. Humans are part of the biomass of their environment. The environment can only support a certain amount of biomass before the resources are depleted.
Does biofuels cause pollution?
Burning any fuel can lead to some pollution the case of biofuels the pollution types may be:oil spills from tanks, drains and transportationsmoke from poorly controlled combustionnitrogen oxidescarbon dioxideodours from combustionparticulate (Carbon cenospheres) fallout from residual droplets of fuel
Is biomass a nonmetal?
No, biomass is not a nonmetal. Biomass refers to organic matter derived from living or recently living organisms, such as plants or animals. Organic matter is composed primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are all nonmetals.
