This study was conducted in an agricultural grassland site conversing from intensive towards regenerative agricultural management. Carbon dioxide fluxes between the field and the atmosphere were measured for two years from 2018 to 2020. The first summer studied was particularly dry, which reduced the field’s carbon dioxide fluxes. However, the field acted as a carbon sink during both measurement years.
