Eight root windows (40cm x 40cm) were used to measure fine root production and decay over three years in a 2 factor-factorial experiment (Burning, Mowing). Root lengths were traced every two weeks during the growing season. Production, disappearance and standing crops (lengths) were calculated by 10 cm increments.

The effects of herbivores and their interactions with nutrient availability on primary production and plant community composition in grassland systems is expected to vary with herbivore type. Although nutrient additions are known to affect plant species diversity and primary productivity, the role of herbivores in mediating the strength of these effects also remains unclear. Herbivores may alter plant responses to nutrient additions in several ways.
