The influence of the management practices on soil carbon was limited to the top 5 cm, namely, soil carbon content and δ13 C in this layer were higher in the mowed area (5.3 kg C m-2 and -16.40 /00 ) compared to the burned (4.4 kg C m-2 and -17.70 /00 ) and uncontrolled (4.3 kg C m-2 and -18.00 /00 ) areas. Root biomass below 5-cm depth was significantly lower in the mowed area (266 g m-2 ) than in the burned and uncontrolled areas (1135 and 967 g m-2 ). The results indicate that management practices for less than 20 years have little effects on soil carbon in deep layers (<5 cm), though deeper distribution of roots in the burned and uncontrolled areas has a potential to supply carbon in the future."
