- Observation FRA produced 759 g foliage biomass.
- Observation FRA produced 344 g branch biomass.
- Observation FRA produced 440 g stem biomass.
- Observation FRA produced 273 g root biomass.
- Observation FRA produced 1579 g aboveground biomass.
- Observation FRA produced 1865 g total tree mass.
- Observation Pan scraper treatment produced 159 g foliage, 67 g branch and 90 g stem biomass.
- Observation Pan scraper treatment produced 77 g root, 334 g aboveground and 420 g total biomass.
- Observation Undisturbed control trees had 244 g foliage, 111 g branch and 154 g stem biomass.
- Observation Undisturbed control trees had 102 g root, 537 g aboveground and 648 g total biomass.
- Observation All treatments allocated the most biomass to foliage.
- Intervention effect Root biomass allocation was relatively higher with pan scraper than FRA.
- Intervention effect Tree biomass nutrient accumulation was highest under FRA.
- Observation Tree tissue nutrient concentrations declined from foliage to stem to root, except N and Mg under pan scraper treatment.
- Observation Foliage nutrient concentrations met or exceeded adapted critical concentrations except for N.
- Observation N was the most abundant nutrient in all treatments and highest in foliage biomass.
