The above-ground biomass production in coppice sal in the lateritic region of West Bengal reveals that wood contributes the largest share of tbe total biomass followed by bark, branch, leaves, and twigs. Largest biomass production is observed in 8 years old coppice sal. The biomass production is highly correlated wilh total K2O aod P2O6 of the soil and the age, height and girth of the stands. The wood biomass is highly correlaled with total Ca and Mg of the soil.

Largest biomass production is observed in 8 years old coppice sal. The biomass production is highly correlated wilh total K2O aod P2O6 of the soil and the age, height and girth of the stands. The wood biomass is highly correlaled with total Ca and Mg of the soil.
