1. (5 points) Calculate the average biomass per 100 m2 (10m x 10m plot) for the three plots in the Biomass Table. Thus average biomass per 100 m2 = _7735.25_ kg/100 m2 (Hint: add the total biomass for each of the 3 plots and then divide by 3) 2. (5 points) For this question, convert biomass per m2 to biomass per acre. Since 1 acre = 4047 m2 , multiply the average biomass per 100 m2 by 40.47. Thus average biomass per acre = _313,045.57 kg/acre (Hint: multiply your answer in (a) by 40...

Table of Contents: (1.) The Carbon Cycle and Mankind (2.) Activity: Calculating Your Emissions of Carbon Dioxide The Carbon Cycle and Mankind We have seen that plants sequester large sums of carbon in themselves. They are able to do this since, on average, photosynthesis produces more sugar than what is need by the plant during its respiration phase. As long as the plant is alive, it will continue to take carbon dioxide out of the air. However, we also found that a plant will return all o...
