In order to measure biomass, destructive techniques are used. Trees are cut down and plants are destroyed. Is is unethical?
In my opinion, this is totally unethical. Today, we live in a world of global warming and this is a fact that we need the plants more than anything. I do not think that the amount of the plants are enough for all the world. Because of it people try to increase the numbers of plants in the whole world but on the other hand some of us are destroying them. There is already a destroyement of trees because of the productions of sheets. I get angry about that issue as well. We have to recyle the papers. Cutting down and destroying the life sources cannot be ethical. Anyway, biologists use mathematical table for the other plots but still, this is not an excuse. We need oxygen which we cannot reach by destroying the producers. Also, there is a natural disaster called erosion. It we cut down the trees and destroy the plants for any reason , they cannot hold the soil with their roots so erosion occurs.
At least, we use the papers for beneficial things but I think we can still live without measuring the biomasses of the innocent organisms and plants :)
aylin, i agree with you, you have mentioned about the importance of the producers and how vital they are for our existence very well :)
