From: Vegetation Response after Post-Fire Mulching and Native Grass Seeding
Contrasting vegetation response three years after each of four post-fire rehabilitation treatments were applied to plots on the 2005 School Fire, Washington, USA. Treatments included a) wheat straw mulch, b) wood strand mulch, c) grass seed only (no mulch), and d) hydromulch + seed with grass (untreated not shown). Note the persistence of the wheat straw and wood strand mulch and the visible differences apparent in the plant communities.
