Annual net aerial primary production (NAPP) was determined by two methods on two abandoned pastures of contrasting vegetation composition in southern Ontario, Canada. Summing the maximum biomass of each individual species gave NAPP values, 84% and 49% respectively, of those obtained when indirect determinations of vegetation death were made during the growing season as well as changes in standing crop of live material.
