geez ur serious about your geo.

i didn't look at any of my biophysical interactions crap.

Biomass is the sum of everything living and dead, above ground. Litter is generally decaying plant and animal material on the forest floor (I assume you are talking about a rainforest), and soil is the stuff that contains all the decayed matter.

So the tree is in the biomass.

Hope it helps
