Biomass of Understorey Plants between 1.5 and 5.0m in a Logged-over Forest

The biomass of various comparzents of understorey plants ofa Lowland Dipterocarp Forest, between 1.5 and 5.0 m in height, was determined by harvesting 47 plants from a 0.01 ha plot. The total above ground biomass was equivalent to 2.78 tonnes/ha, and this was made up of 81 percent stem, 7.5 percen...
