Question by yeraciba: How can I measure the biomass of a plant in a certain area without pulling up plants?
I am doing an experiment to see if the biomass of Marram grass changes as you move over sand dunes (does exposure affect biomass) but need a way to measure biomass without pulling up plants, drying them and weighing them all, as this is illegal! Any ideas?

Perhaps you can isolate a certain area and measure the CO2 consumption during photosynthesis. This can be related the biomass.
