What Does AFDM Stand For?
AFDM stands for Ash Free Dry Mass
AFDM, or Ash Free Dry Mass, refers to the mass of a sample remaining after the removal of moisture and ash content through drying and incineration processes. It is an important measure used in ecological and environmental studies to assess organic matter content, nutrient availability, and overall biological productivity in various ecosystems, including aquatic environments. AFDM provides a more accurate representation of the organic component present in a sample, facilitating comparisons across different studies and conditions.
