Image #CNS-3: Pedestalled plants of Hyparrhenia rufa shortly after the savanna fire of 17th April 1970, at the Canas grassland site, Costa Rica. The rod is marked in 10 cm units, and the larger pedestals are approximately 11 cm high. A considerable amount of litter was not consumed by the fire, and its redistribution by the wind is evident.
