Abstract
Wood biomass in IndIa is harvested mainly, for use as firewood. Most shrubs growing in degraded lands are multibranched. Tbe biomass assesement can be carried out with reasonable accuracy by measurement of diameter of the most prominent branch 50 cm above-ground and total height as well as the number of branches. The case study pertains to Acacia farnesiana. Sample regression for total green biomass is W= 0.6078 + 0.8528 ND2H (r2=0.8528, d. f =26). W (Welght) in kg, N in numbers, D&H in decimetres.
