Never change, HN... the biomass over the footprint of a redwood tree is equal to the mass of the tree.

  But under the tree? That was the assertion...

    The tree itself is part of the "biomass per cross-sectional area" of the land underneath the tree. Although I wonder how cross-sectional area applies to oceans, as they are more of a 3d phenomenon. Is it the entire column of water?

      Hm. If you say so.
