Look all around you. You are going to see that your environment is full of plant waste, as well as animal waste. This is going to be use as fuel sometime or the other. The total amount of living materials in one place at a given time is known as biomass. Biomass of a place is usually measured in a given unit say 1 km² or 1 m². 30% of the total mass of all the living organisms is calculated to give the total biomass, which does not consist of the water percentage.
Biomass is an important factor in ecology and environmental studies. That is because any biological material, which can be used in industrial production to produce fuel, needs to be studied. Apart from biomass-produced fuel, there is plant and animal matter which can be used in the production of heat, chemicals, paper, fibres and other useful things, which can be used industrially.
The Cultivated vegetation that can ultimately be used as a source of energy and fuel will also come within the biomass of an area. Imagine cultivating cotton. Not only can its products be used industrially but also cotton seed oil can be use as a fuel.
These cultivated crops can be renewed repeatedly. Biomass is also going to include agricultural crops, industrial mill residues, forest residues, animal waste, residues brought about by operation of livestock, trees, plants, on both land and the water. Biomass is also going to include industrial and municipal wastes, because after all, some of them are made from natural products.
