  • Life returns Some researchers feared the area north of the volcano would remain a sterile moonscape for decades. But scientists studying the blast-seared zone north of the peak found vegetation on the landslide within a few years,
  • Nine years after the eruption, plants had returned to just over 10 percent of the hummocky terrain. Twenty years on, vegetation had expanded to cover about two-thirds of the deposit. Today, Frenzen says, about 80 percent of the once sterile area sports vegetation.
  • Some of the first plants to return were lupines, most of which are  perennial plants that add nitrogen to the soil.

  • Many factors have influenced the rate at which plants repopulated the landslide deposits. For example, plants with seeds carried by wind or by highly mobile creatures like birds moved into the blast zone faster.

      Primary and Secondary Succession are both slow processes that describe change in an ecosystem. One community of organisms are gradually replaced by other organisms as conditions change. Primary Succession starts with rock while Secondary Succession starts in a place that already had an ecosystem that was destroyed. Soil already exists in Secondary Succession.

Secondary succession is the process by which an ecosystem that has been destroyed gradually regains its former appearance and function.
  • Secondary succession can occur in the same area any number of times. Because it is defined as the first time ecological succession occurs, primary succession can only happen once to any given area.

  • Primary succession has more stages--called "seral stages"--than secondary succession. Primary succession includes seral stages where lichens and moss break rock down into soil; in areas undergoing secondary succession, soil already exists.
