Estimation of herbaceous biomass from species composition and cover
Original language description
Questions: Biomass is an important ecological property, but its measurement is destructive and time-consuming and therefore generally missing for historical vegetation plots. Here we propose and test indirect estimation of herbaceous biomass using modelsbased on easily obtainable variables, namely plant height and cover. We compare these models with Ellenberg indicator values for nutrients(EIVs Nutrients), which are sometimes used as an alternative measure of productivity. Location: Czech Republic,western Slovakia. Methods: Above-ground biomass (dry weight; gm2) was regressed against the following explanatory variables: (1) Cover E1, total percentage cover of the herb layer visually estimated in the field; (2) Biomass estimate-raw, -adjusted and -median, calculated from plant covers and heights (according to a local flora); and(3) mean EIVs Nutrients calculated per plot.
