Two files contain above- and below-ground biomass data, one for each treatment (ungrazed and moderately grazed). The third file contains climate data from the Big Timber weather station (45.80 N, -110.00 W, Elevation 1,249 m) near Bridger. \r\n\r\nDynamics of above- and below-ground plant biomass were monitored by harvest technique at roughly 2-week intervals during the growing season for the years 1970, 1972, and 1973. Data on above-ground live biomass, standing dead matter, and litter are provided for each sampling date. Below-ground biomass (roots and crowns) are provided for 0-30 cm and 0-50 cm depths. Data were collected as part of a coordinated study over 1-3 years at ten grassland sites of the central and western United States under the U.S. Grassland Biome Project of the International Biological Program (IBP). \r\n\r\nAbove-ground net primary production (ANPP) was estimated, conservatively, by summing peak biomass of individual species. Below-ground net primary production (BNPP) was estimated as the sum of positive increments in total root biomass (including root crowns). Values varied according to treatment.\r\n\r\nRevision Notes: Only the documentation for this data set has been modified. The data files have been checked for accuracy and are identical to those originally published in 1998.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "conformsTo": "http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi", "description": "The metadata's original source.", "downloadURL": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C2752559249-ORNL_CLOUD.iso19115", "format": "ISO", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://daac.ornl.gov/graphics/browse/project/square/npp_logo_square.png", "format": "PNG", "mediaType": "image/png"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.ornldaac.earthdata.nasa.gov/protected/bundle/NPP_BRD_205.zip", "format": "ZIP", "mediaType": "application/zip"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.ornldaac.earthdata.nasa.gov/public/npp/grassland/NPP_BRD/comp/NPP_BRD.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.ornldaac.earthdata.nasa.gov/public/npp/grassland/NPP_BRD/comp/brd_comp.txt", "format": "TXT", "mediaType": "text/plain"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.ornldaac.earthdata.nasa.gov/public/npp/grassland/NPP_BRD/comp/brd_des.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/205", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C2752559249-ORNL_CLOUD", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}], "identifier": "10.3334/ORNLDAAC/205", "keyword": ["earth-science-ecological-dynamics-biosphere-ecosystem-functions", "earth-science-vegetation-biosphere-biomass"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-09-01", "programCode": ["026:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "ORNL_DAAC"}, "spatial": "[\"CARTESIAN\", [{\"WestBoundingCoordinate\": -110.78, \"NorthBoundingCoordinate\": 45.78, \"EastBoundingCoordinate\": -110.78, \"SouthBoundingCoordinate\": 45.78}]]", "temporal": "1894-01-01/1994-12-31", "theme": ["Earth Science"], "title": "NPP Grassland: Bridger, USA, 1970-1973, R1"}
