Quantifying forest net primary production (NPP) is critical to understanding the global carbon cycle because forests are responsible for a large portion of the total terrestrial NPP. The objectives of this study were to measure above ground NPP (NPPA) for a land surface in northern Wisconsin, examine the spatial patterns of NPPA and its components, and correlate NPPA with vegetation cover types and leaf area index. Mean NPPA for aspen, hardwoods, mixed forest, upland conifers, nonforested wetlands, and forested wetlands was 7.8, 7.2, 5.7, 4.9, 5.0, and 4.5 t dry mass·ha–1·year–1, respectively. There were significant (p = 0.01) spatial patterns in wood, foliage, and understory NPP components and NPPA (p = 0.03) when the vegetation cover type was included in the model. The spatial range estimates for the three NPP components and NPPA differed significantly from each other, suggesting that different factors are influencing the components of NPP. NPPA was significantly correlated with leaf area index (p = 0.01) for the major vegetation cover types. The mean NPPA for the 3 km × 2 km site was 5.8 t dry mass·ha–1·year–1.
