Biomass is crucial for energy storage and nutrient cycling in ecosystems, representing the mass of all living organisms in an area. It's measured in dry weight to gauge ecosystem productivity and is a key factor in ecological studies. Biomass also serves as a renewable energy source, with its use in energy production offering environmental benefits while posing sustainability challenges. Biological farming practices promote soil health and ecosystem balance, complementing the sustainable use of biomass.
