Fires and volcanic eruptions produce ash that may negatively affect survivors of the disturbances themselves. Therefore, animals are expected to avoid areas covered by ash when possible. We tested this prediction by ...

Pollinator foraging performance could be altered by volcanic ash contaminated flowers, pollen, and nectar. We used the honeybee (Apis mellifera) as a model organism to understand the effects that volcanic ash could have ...

Explosive volcanic eruptions can produce vast amounts of volcanic ash made up mainly of fragments of magmatic glass, country rock and minerals<2 mm in size. Ash particles forming from magma fragmentation are generated by ...

Explosive volcanic eruptions can eject large quantities of tephra into the atmosphere that can be dispersed and deposited over wide areas. Whilst the hazardous consequences of primary tephra fallout are well known, subsequent ...

A volcanic ash-derived soil was incubated uo to 93 days with different amounts of seaweed. P was then extracted using an anion exchange resin method, and it was found that extractable P increased with increasing amounts ...

The cation exchange capacity of soils (CEC) is largely affected by the mineralogy of their parent material. Soils of the Argentinean Pampas develop on illitic loess, mixed, in variable proportions, with volcanic ashes. ...
