Abstract
The subject of this study is to determine the below-ground plant biomass and annual below-ground net primary production of lowland meadows in the Central Black Sea region. This study calculated the annual average amount of below-ground plant biomass, its seasonal distribution, annual primary production, and turnover values in the ungrazed and grazed meadow stands. Below-ground plant biomass, below-ground net primary production, and turnover of grazed stands were higher than in ungrazed stands. This turnover value shows that root biomass is renewed faster in grazed areas. Grazing, annual rainfall, and soil characteristics may have led to these different results.
