Crop Land
This corn field is located along the Cape Fear River in Harnett County, NC. The corn grows tall and yields high bushels per acre every time it is planted in this field. The area is surrounded by bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem with swamps , which is most likely what existed in this field before being converted to cropland. There is a drainage ditch that runs through the field to keep the area dry. Swamps and marshes are the most productive ecosystems while cultivated land is far less. This conversion leads to a lower Net Primary Production.
