Conclusions Conclusions
Fine root biomass at 0~10cm was affected Fine root biomass at 0~10cm was affected more by burning whereas fine root biomass more by burning whereas fine root biomass at 10~20cm were more affected by thinning at 10~20cm were more affected by thinning
Factors affecting fine root biomass can vary Factors affecting fine root biomass can vary by intensity of thinning as well as the type of by intensity of thinning as well as the type of management treatments management treatments
SRR was affected most by root biomass SRR was affected most by root biomass under burning + thinning treatment, while under burning + thinning treatment, while by temperature at thinning only and by LD at by temperature at thinning only and by LD at burning only. burning only.
