The biomass of a tree typically refers to the total weight of living material in the tree, including the trunk, branches, leaves, and roots. The biomass of a tree can vary widely depending on the species, age, and size of the tree. Forest scientists and researchers often study tree biomass to understand carbon storage and sequestration in forests.

Why does the biomass of an oak tree change during the course of the year?
it grows!
The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called the?
biomass!
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.
How is biomass different from productivity?
Biomass refers to the total mass of living organisms in a given area, while productivity is the rate at which biomass is produced through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. In other words, biomass is the total amount of living matter, while productivity measures the growth or accumulation of biomass over time.
What is one advantage to biomass energy?
Less 'Biomass' (waste) has be put into landfill.
How can biomass energy be renewable?
Every time you burn one tree worth of biomass, you plant another tree.
Which organism is found in the trophic level that has the most biomass the wolf the snake or the tree?
The tree because the biomass decreases by ten percent with every level, so if the tree had 100 biomass, then the snake had 100, and the wolf had 10
Is biomass easy to get?
its pretty much everywhere. anything containing carbon is biomass. dirt is biomass. poop is biomass. a tree is biomass. you are biomass. so is your dog.. so, yeah; its pretty easy to get your hands on.

What has the author Miroslav Vyskot written?
Miroslav Vyskot has written: 'Biomass of the tree layer of a spruce forest in the Bohemian Uplands' -- subject(s): Forest biomass, Norway spruce, Tables
What type energy is biomass?
Biomass energy is a form of renewable energy. It uses biological waste or 'mass' such as Rubbish/garbage, tree cuttings etc which would otherwise be thrown away to landfill.
Why are primary producers the first trophic level?
It is not necessarily. Imagine a large tree, insects eat its fruit and leaves, birds eat the insects on it, foxes eat the birds. In a week the tree might feed 10000 insects, who in turn feed 100 birds who in turn feed 5 foxes. There is only one tree and every level has more organisms on it than the producer level. It is not a question of number of organism, it is of Biomass, Biomass is the mass of any living matierial in a food chain. There is more biomass at the bottom level because lots of it is wasted as the chain progress - some leaves drop of and are not eaten, some insects are not eaten, the feathers and bones of the birds are not eaten. All of this means that some biomass is not passed on from one level to the next - some is wasted. Therefore, in orderto have enough to support the 5 foxes there needs to be a lot of biomass at the bottom. This is the tree. 1 organism, but very big, so los of biomass. If this whole food chain lived in an open field, the first level might be grass, in which case there is less biomass per organism and so the numbers of organisms would begreatest at the bottom. As it is, the numbers do not increase "like a pyramid". Biomass pyramids always do.
What is a negative for biomass?
there is not a thing negtive about biomass we need to save biomass it!
The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called the?
biomass!
Why does the combustion of biomass release no net carbon into the atmosphere?
Biomass is vegetable matter, like unwanted parts of sugar cane (bagasse), as well as residue from tree felling and other things. When vegetation grows, it removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. When the same material is burnt as biomass, that same CO2 is put back into the carbon cycle.
How is the biomass produced?
Allometry equations, usually in one of two forms,biomass = a x dbh bbiomass = a + b log (dbh)allow a reasonable estimation of the above-ground biomass to be made, based solely on knowledge of tree species and tree diameter (the equation coefficients, a and b, are different for different species).
Which layer of the rainforest has the highest biomass?
The canopy has the greatest volume of biomass. The soil is usually very low in nutrients because of the great need of the rainforest and uses the rotting debri very quickly. Hence the greatest volume of biomass is in a potential form in the canopy.
