Data used in Calculating Emergy Indices
Unless otherwise noted all data in these Tables comes from Montague, C.L., Caldwell, J.W., and Knight, R.L. 1981.

Data for Figure 7(a) Cost of maintaining structure
Note in these ratios the units will cancel so the maintenance ratio for emergy is the same as that for live biomass.
