Research from geology as well as plant and animal ecology has been integrated into a complete, long- term study of the effects of volcanic activity. The authors contribute first-hand knowledge of this significant event, and its aftermath in the natural history of the earth. Questions about what actually happens when a volcano erupts, what the immediate and longterm dangers are, and how life reasserts itself in the area are discussed in full detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, had a momentous impact on the fungal, plant, animal, and human life from the mountain to the far reaches of the explosion's ash cloud and mudflows. Although this intense natural event caused loss of substantial life and property, it also created a unique opportunity to examine a huge disturbance of natural systems and their subsequent responses. Based on one of the most studied areas of volcanic activity, this book synthesizes the ecological research that has been conducted for twenty-five years since the eruption. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearch from geology as well as plant and animal ecology has been integrated in this unprecedented look at the complex interactions of biological and physical systems in the response of the volcanic landscape. Lessons from the volcano inform our larger understanding of ecosystem disturbances, natural processes, and the impact of land-use practices. Included are results of significant and long-term research on vegetation, mycorrhizae, plant and animal interactions, arthropods, amphibians, mammals, fish, lakes, nutrient cycling, geomorphology, and environmental management. This comprehensive account will be of value to those interested in natural history, ecology, disturbance, conservation biology, limnology, geoscience, and land management. Questions about what actually happens when a volcano erupts, what the immediate and long-term dangers are, and how life reasserts itself in the environment are discussed in full detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVirginia Dale\u003c\/em\u003e is a Corporate Fellow in the Environmental Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
