Objectives Evaluate the effects of prescribed burning and thinning on soil chemistry, microclimate, root biomass, and soil respiration within mixed coniferous forest Evaluate the effects of prescribed burning and thinning on soil chemistry, microclimate, root biomass, and soil respiration within mixed coniferous forest Evaluate the primary factors affecting root biomass and soil respiration rate under burning and thinning treatments. Evaluate the primary factors affecting root biomass and soil respiration rate under burning and thinning treatments.

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