The term biomass refers to the total quality of organic matter present in an ecosystem at a given time per unit area. Higher the biomass, higher will be the productivity. Therefore, the studies on biomass are useful for the sientific management of forest. Because of the increasing demand for forests and forest produce, a large number of fast-growing exotic species have been intoduced for reducing the pressure on forests and maintaining the productivity of forests.
This book briefly tries to give an idea about the biomass productivity. An annotated bibliography on biomass productivity of forest species has been included in the book so that the forestrs/Scientists can have the idea on the works done in the past on biomass productivity of various forest species. The book will be useful for foresters and botanists.
