Wiregrass a) in the understory of a long unburned xeric pine savanna with an overstory dominated by longleaf pine and turkey oaks; b) under three pinecones for the low duff plus added pinecones treatment (LD + P); and c) after the reintroduction fire, with a portion of the plant resprouting (pen placed for size reference).

Probability of reproduction (inflorescence production) by wiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana) plants.
Individuals were subject to different fuel treatments during a reintroduction fire in a long-unburned pine savanna. Probability of reproduction increased with size. There were no significant differences between individual treatments.
