Radiocarbon dating distal tephra from the Early Bronze Age Avellino eruption (EU-5) in the coastal basins of southern Lazio (Italy): Uncertainties, results, and implications for dating distal tephra
2021, Quaternary GeochronologyCitation Excerpt :That the F-levels from earlier Vesuvian eruptions also led to serious human health problems was demonstrated by Petrone et al. (2011). To what extent this F may have affected the vegetation is less clear, since available studies on the impact of F (e.g. Grattan and Pyatt, 1994; Koblar et al., 2011; Kumar et al., 2017; Banerjee and Roychoudhury, 2019) point to diverse and species dependent impacts and results published cannot readily be applied to wetland ecosystems. Moreover, studies on the impact of tephra on wetland ecosystems rarely pay attention to the impact of F (e.g. Hotes et al., 2004; Ayris and Delmelle, 2012).
Holocene history of landscape instability in Iceland: Can we deconvolve the impacts of climate, volcanism and human activity?
2020, Quaternary Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Soil remobilization has through the years affected much of Iceland’s ecosystem and has been a determining factor in soil formation and fertility (e.g. Gísladóttir, 2001). Although vascular vegetation cover plays an important role in preventing soil mobilization (Arnalds, 2013; Cutler et al., 2016), plants can be killed and efficiently removed following volcanic ash deposition as a result of suffocation, impaired photosynthesis, abrasion and/or acidification (e.g. Mack, 1981; Grattan and Pyatt, 1994; Grattan and Gilbertson, 2000). In recent millennia, persistent and severe soil erosion has been linked to anthropogenic activities after the settlement of Iceland (∼870 CE).
The impact of persistent volcanic degassing on vegetation: A case study at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica

2016, Quaternary Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Meteorological influences on plume dynamics can limit tephra dispersal. For example, during dry, calm anti-cyclonic weather there will be an increase in particle concentration in the atmosphere (Grattan and Pyatt, 1994) and this will produce blanket-like deposition of tephra, while precipitation bearing systems produce a sporadic and discontinuous pattern (Boygle, 1999). In addition, clustering in the atmosphere can prevent uniform deposition of tephra over a wide area (Lawson et al., 2012).
Volcanic Gas and Aerosol Hazards from a Future Laki-Type Eruption in Iceland
2015, Volcanic Hazards, Risks and DisastersInfluence of volcanic gases on the epidermis of Pinus halepensis Mill. in Campi Flegrei, Southern Italy: A possible tool for detecting volcanism in present and past floras
2012, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal ResearchCitation Excerpt :However, plant damage is related to gas concentration (Delmelle, 2003), gas persistence (Grattan et al., 1998) in the atmosphere, identity of the gases (Thomas, 1951) and plant resilience (Abe and Hasegawa, 2008). Under severe pollution conditions, the direct phytotoxic effects of gaseous pollutants as well as long-term effects of acid washout (Grattan and Pyat, 1994) can even be considered as potential environmental mutagens disturbing plant growth and community structure (Visscher et al., 1996). As a matter of fact, as Visscher et al. (2004) pointed out, variation in structure and composition of leaf cuticles is a potential source of botanical evidence of mutational effects of environmental stress factors.
