Description
We propose to continue a paired treatment control experiment at the Agricultural Research Services Southern Plains Range Research Station (SPRRS). The ongoing experiment is comparing energy and carbon fluxes and from a field recently planted to switchgrass (a potential biofuel crop), with fluxes from winter wheat. The ongoing experiment is being conducted in a collaboration that includes SPRRS staff and researchers from the University of Oklahoma.Additional hypotheses, specific to the experiment (see below) are that biofuel production will 1) result in greater growing season carbon uptake than conventional crops and, 2) can increase carbon soil stocks due to increased root growth and reduced tillage.
