Abstract

Lahar on the slope of the Alaid volcano (Atlasov Island, Kuriles) and its impact on vegetation: the first data from satellite images. S.Yu. GRISHIN (Federal Scientific Center of the East Asia Terrestrial Biodiversity, FEB RAS, Vladivostok).

Lahar descending along the southeastern slope of the Alaid volcano (Kuriles) was revealed at satellite images. Lahar tongues penetrated into the zone of arboreal vegetation, descending to an altitude of about 200 m. The area of tongues in the accumulation zone is about 0.25 km2, and buried arboreal vegetation – about 0.1km2.
