Description: Ponderosa pine and eight grass species were planted together on a burned area. Less than half the pine were dead after 3 years, whether in grass areas or not. When pine was planted in year-old grass, 80 percent died. Of pines planted without grass, only 30 percent died. Grass species differed in their effect on tree survival.
