Soil biomass refers to the living organisms in the soil, such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and other microorganisms. Soil biomass plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling, decomposition of organic matter, and maintaining soil health and fertility. Monitoring soil biomass levels can provide insights into the overall health and productivity of the soil.
Biomass can enter a school in the form of organic waste collected from cafeterias or classrooms. This waste can then be processed in a biomass digester to generate biogas for energy or compost for soil enrichment. Alternatively, biomass can be sourced as wood chips or pellets for heating systems in the school.
Biomass is material derived from living organisms. The term biomass for energy is often used to refer to plant based materials, but it can equally apply to animal, as well as vegetable matter--the key is 'living organisms'. So no, biomass engergy does not ONLY come from plants.
Biomass can be negative to the environment when it leads to deforestation and loss of biodiversity. Additionally, burning biomass can release carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and air pollution. Improper management of biomass resources can also deplete soil nutrients and degrade ecosystems.
The total biomass of microbes is estimated to be significantly greater than that of the human population. Microbes are present in large quantities in various environments such as soil, water, and the human body, contributing to a higher overall biomass compared to humans.

Conversion factors are used in chloroform fumigation technique to estimate the soil microbial biomass carbon content. The conversion factor is used to convert the measured amount of chloroform-incorporated microbial residues to estimated microbial biomass carbon. This helps in assessing microbial activity and biomass in soil ecosystems.
That all depends on the size and type of bales you have, as well as the forage biomass of that field. Bales come in not just one size, they come in small square, large square, small round and large round bales. Forage biomass is also different from year to year, depending on current seasonal conditions (moisture, sunlight, soil) for your area.

The nutrients come from the bottom sediments. This lets biomass to grow and spread. Biomass is used as food to the herbivores which means more herbivores will come, but with more herbivores come more predators.
