The phrase "a source of biomass" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing materials or substances that can be converted into energy or fuel, particularly in the context of renewable energy or environmental science.
Example: "The forest serves as a source of biomass, providing wood and other organic materials for energy production."
Alternatives: "a provider of biomass" or "a contributor to biomass".
Singh and Fulekar (2007) designed a bioreactor for bioremediation of phenol utilising cow dung as a source of biomass.
The present research proves the potential of cow dung microflora as a source of biomass for benzene biodegradation in TPPB.
The use of industrial waste streams as a source of biomass is beneficial, not only to reduce environmental problems, but also to save valuable resources.
This paper serves as base to discuss the benefits of using microalgae as a source of biomass for biofuels and the methods that can be used to enhance the microalgal biology in order to improve their production.
Widespread application of algal biofilm-based systems in wastewater treatment has been limited despite the potential benefits of a low cost nutrient removal option and a source of biomass for bioproduct production.
Fruit harvest accounted for approximately 10% of vine C by weight, about 26% of this C could be turned into soil C storage by returning the rachis and pomace (skin and seed) to the soil (Fig. 4), a source of biomass C contributing to long term C storage in agroecosystems and beneficial for GHG mitigation purposes.
Sunflower-seed hulls (SSH) represent a source of combustible biomass characterised by high contents of potassium and phosphorus and a low silica content.
Plants of the Miscanthus genus, especially Miscanthus × giganteus, have generated interest as a source of lignocellulosic biomass for the bioenergy industry.
Nutrients from the soil is designed to identify students who write about nutrients from the soil as a source of plant biomass, which is a previously researched alternative concept (Eisen and Stavy, 1988).
Around 30% of the responders included a correct source of biomass, a little less than 30% included an incorrect source of biomass, and ∼20% were scored for nutrients from the soil.
We hypothesized that bioprospecting areas of historic mining activity could yield microalgal species which have evolved to be tolerant to extreme environments, in particular low pH, and could act as a productive source of biomass in a typical open pond production setting.
