Interannual Variability in Primary Production in Tallgrass Prairie: Climate, Soil Moisture, Topographic Position, and Fire as Determinants of Aboveground Biomass

From 1975 to 1993, aboveground net primary production (NPP) at the Konza Prairie Research Natural Area in NE Kansas varied from 179 g/m2to 756 g/m2. Across a variety of sites, NPP was significantly related to precipitation (r2= 0.37), but much variability was unexplained. Thus, we evaluated the rela...
