The size of the circles is proportional to the net change in above-ground biomass.
Total liana basal area, and thus estimated biomass, remained relatively constant over stand age.
There are no published biomass estimates for liana forest per se, but they fall into the general category of non-dense forests.
The more intensive cropping that results when the incidence of fallow is reduced increases biomass inputs to the system.
Sampling times correspond to preplant = 1, 4, 7, and 10; peak biomass = 2, 5, 8, and 11; post-harvest = 3, 6, 9, and 12.
Although significant differences were found in total biomass, the species composition remains mainly constant during the year.
Robust sulphate reduction, substrate utilization, and target biomass production is currently being observed and reported.
Traits like early seedling establishment, early growth vigour and ground coverage, high biomass, early flowering and maturity were taken into consideration to select drought-tolerant genotypes.
