Abstract: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that grazing by cattle affects aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and community structure in wetland bogs. My specific study focused on first year changes in Cold Prong Bog, a wet meadow located along the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) in North Carolina, following the exclusion of cattle.
