Abstract: The structure of aboveground biomass of communities on Songnen grassland is changed in yaring degrees after different burning time.On burned plot,the litter is removed;but on unburned one,it is gradually transfered to the lower layer of the community.The stem is dwarfed on burned plot and its leaf biomass is greater;but on unburned plot,the ratio of stem to leaf is higher.The penetration coefficient of light is higher on burned plot than on unburned one.
