Biomass Estimation, Nutrient Content, and Decomposition Rate of Shoot Sheath in Moso Bamboo Forest of Yixing Forest Farm, China

The biomass, nutrient content and decomposition rate of shoot sheaths remain unexplored in the study of Moso bamboo forests. The rapid growth of shoots means many bamboo sheaths are produced each year, and therefore should not be neglected in the study of the Moso bamboo ecosystem. In our study, we...

In our study, we selected 160 bamboo shoots of different sizes in Yixing forest farm, Jiangsu Province.
