Estimation of dry mass of stem, branches and foliage of the tree using Eq. 12, 5.
Calculation of BEF based on dry mass of stem, branches and foliage using Eq. 13, 6.
Weighting of fresh mass of stem, branches and foliage using scale weighting of 25 kg, 3.
The newly created Stem Cell Network is a cross-country coalition of stem cell researchers that also aims to create a critical mass of stem cell scientists.
Destructive methods are based on the harvesting of the living trees together with measurements of diameter at breast height (DBH) or stem girth and total height as well as the dry mass of stem, foliage and branches.
BEF = frac{text{Btot}}{text{Bstem}} (13 where Btot = total biomass of a tree (sum of dry mass of stem, branches and foliage) in kg, Bstem = stem dry biomass in kg, BEF = biomass expansion factor.
Plants of treatments M or S in comparison to treatment L, showed a decrease in leaf number, dry mass of stem, leaves and roots, and an increase in the shoot to root ratio.
Using the data obtained for all sub-sample GUs per plant, vegetative and flowering GUs were compared regarding: dry mass of stem, dry mass of leaf blades, dry mass of stem and leaf blades, dry mass in leaf blades relative to the dry mass in stem and leaves of the GU, and dry mass per leaf blade.
This was applied to the raw data of our test tube nucleation assays with various mass of stem samples shown in Fig. 4.
Pulling up the long exploratory tendrils that seem to appear overnight is a far cry from heaving away the tangled masses of stems that faced us when we first set about transforming the garden.
