Availability of Exploitable Invasive Alien Plants

Data was derived from the following sources: CSIR based their assessment of standing IAP biomass on work done by the ARC, supplemented by an evaluation of species that may be exploitable, typical mass of such species, and the relative ease by which these can be exploited. Refer to the detailed BioEnergy Atlas report in this regard. This data was assigned to planning polygons (meso-zones) and the basis of calculation of exploitable biomass adjusted for a 20-year eradication programme (i.e. harvest 1/20th each year, supplemented by the annual increment of the remaining biomass).
