Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the invasion and recovery of vegetation that occurred after the 1959 eruption of Kilauea Iki crater. Beginning with the impact of the eruption on the native rain and seasonal forest, the author details the changes over a nine-year period. The study's focus is on six new volcanic habitats created by the eruption, each with different combinations of substrate and surviving vegetation. The author examines the arrival and establishment patterns of plants in these habitats, which include massive lava with joint cracks, a cinder cone, spatter areas with tree snags, and pumice areas with or without surviving trees. The study also explores the environmental conditions in each habitat, including temperature, humidity, rainfall, and substrate properties. The book highlights factors that influence invasion patterns, including substrate cooling, disseminule supply, and ecological life forms. The author also considers the role of surviving species, plant cover development, and habitat differences in the recovery of vegetation. This study provides valuable insights into the complex processes of plant invasion and recovery on newly formed volcanic substrates. It contributes to our understanding of plant community dynamics, ecological succession, and the resilience of Hawaiian ecosystems.
