Responding to the need for reliable and detailed information on
biomass consumption and supply and overcoming the lack of
standardized measurement and accounting procedures, this handbook
provides the skills to understand the biomass resource base and the
tools to assess the resource and the pros and cons of exploitation.
Topics covered include assessment methods for woody and herbaceous
biomass, biomass supply and consumption, and remote sensing
techniques. Inteational case studies, ranging from techniques for
measuring tree volume to transporting biomass, help to illustrate
step-by-step methods and are based on fieldwork experience. A set
of technical appendices offer a glossary of terms, energy units,
and other valuable reference data.

Atazadeh J. (ed.) Biomass and Remote Sensing of Biomass
InTech. 2011. 272 p. Generally, the term biomass is used for all materials originating from photosynthesis. However, biomass can equally apply to animals. Conservation and management of biomass is very important. There are various ways and methods for biomass evaluation. One of these methods is remote sensing. Remote sensing provides information about biomass, but also about biodiversity and environmental factors estimation over a wide area. The...
