Plants and trees can help predict volcanic eruptions in the future, as discovered by geological experts. This is because certain types of trees are very sensitive to changes in volcanic gases, as revealed in a recent study published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, and Geosystems. These changes can even be observed from outer space.
Led by Robert Bogue
This research, led by Robert Bogue from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at McGill University in Canada, focuses on data from Yellowstone National Park between 1984 and 2022.
"We detected signals of this health improvement from 1984 to 2001 in Yellowstone National Park, USA. One of the forest areas affected by volcanic gas is healthier compared to a similar area, where the nearby forest grows without the influence of volcanoes."

"Color Changes in Plants"
This shows that carbon dioxide and volcanic water are beneficial for trees and vegetation. However, when volcanic activity increases, it begins to harm the health of these trees. Researchers have found that plants turn brown as the eruption approaches.
"\u201cIn theory, this can be done on any volcano that has trees and has a reasonable number of days in a year when it is not cloudy\u2014we are unable to make any measurements at all when the weather is cloudy,\u201d"

"Not an Easy Thing"
"Regarding how long it takes to practice it, that is not an easy question to answer. Currently, we are conducting further studies to confirm our findings by taking samples at the location described in the paper, so it will somewhat depend on how our findings develop."
"According to me, this finding is somewhat surprising, but overall it is consistent with what we expected. Our findings are in line with the theory in this case, so even though we are not sure, if we find anything, it might look something like this."
"We detected an increase in plant stress caused by increasing soil temperature and sulfur emissions before it could be detected by other types of satellites," the study said.
"Combining these contrasting effects represents a promising new approach for additional monitoring of active volcanoes."
This finding is not only interesting, but also can be useful in predicting volcanic eruptions one day in the future.
Although scientists can predict whether an eruption will occur based on the activity shown by a volcano, generally, eruptions are difficult to predict. Sometimes there are many signs of an upcoming eruption, but the eruption does not happen. At other times, there is often only a little warning before an eruption occurs.
"Scientist Measures Volcanic Activity"
That is why scientists are always looking for new ways to measure volcanic activity. Based on these findings, scientists using satellites may one day be able to predict eruptions based on the health of vegetation around the volcano.
Although this technique may not be effective for some volcanoes, it can prove to be very useful for volcanoes like Mount Etna in Italy and Mount Taal in the Philippines because they are surrounded by forests and trees, as reported by New Delhi Television.
In some cases, timely predictions of volcanic eruptions can save lives. Many deadly volcanic eruptions occur when experts have little knowledge about the science behind these phenomena. However, further research is needed before assessing trees and plants as a reliable method for predicting eruptions.
“Combining measurements of emissions from power plants and gas on land with our satellite approach can yield a much more comprehensive understanding of volcanic volatile emissions compared to any individual approach,”
"demikian bunyi studi tersebut." translates to "such is the sound of the study."
