Biomass and organic carbon stocks in the soils

The book "Biomass and Organic Carbon Stocks in the Soils" offers a comprehensive analysis of biomass and organic carbon reserves in soils. It highlights the importance of biomass studies in understanding energy and nutrient cycles and addresses the often insufficient data on less significant tree species. The authors, Mohamed Boulmane and María del Carmen Santa-Regina, discuss the challenges of measuring biomass, particularly regarding the consideration of non-commercial biomass fractions such as branches and leaves. Additionally, the role of vegetation in the global CO2 cycle is examined, using various CO2 models to estimate biomass and its components. This specialized book is aimed at scientists and students interested in the ecological aspects of biomass and carbon reserves in soils.
