Detailed explanation-1: -Biomass is mass per unit area or volume. The value at the end of the dry mass experiment will be given as something like kg per unit area, or kg per unit volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -Typical units of biomass are grams per meter squared (g/ m2), although you will also see kg/m2, lb/ ft2, etc. change, so biomass is often converted to carbon storage (For more information on the role of carbon in climate, see the Carbon Cycle Introduction Activities).
Detailed explanation-3: -Biomass can be determined using either direct or indirect sampling methods. Direct methods involve techniques that weigh or estimate the actual biomass of plants in quadrats.
Detailed explanation-4: -Biomass is often reported as a mass per unit area (g m−2 or Mg ha−1) and usually as dry weight (water removed by drying).
