- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the ecosystem and carbon (C) cycling characteristics of C4 and C3-dominated prairie restoration treatments under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in Wisconsin. The study applied a biometric approach to analyze total net primary production (NPP) and net ecosystem production (NEP). It shows that the two treatments yield significant differences in the carbon dioxide respiration in soil but not in carbon sequestration.
