Top 10 Trees That Could Predict Volcanic Eruptions
Coconut Palm
1
Coconut Palm Found near tropical volcanoes, its canopy temperature can rise days before an eruption
Pine Trees
2
Pine Trees Sensitive to soil gas changes, pines can show yellowing and needle loss in advance
Ficus Trees
3
Ficus Trees Known for their broad leaves, they react to sulfur dioxide emissions with photosynthetic decline
Eucalyptus
4
Eucalyptus Oil-rich leaves make them sensitive to underground heat and gas variations
Oak Trees
5
Oak Trees These trees exhibit early leaf stress and reduced chlorophyll near seismic shifts
Banana Plant
6
Banana Plant The broad leaves wilt quickly in response to gas emissions and soil chemistry changes
Bamboo
7
Bamboo Responds rapidly to ground temperature shifts and changes in water absorption near volcanoes
Teak
8
Teak Large and leafy, teak trees reflect early stress in their canopy captured by multispectral drones
Coffee Trees
9
Coffee Trees Cultivated near volcanoes, they’re highly reactive to CO₂ and underground geothermal changes
Breadfruit Tree
10
Breadfruit Tree Popular in volcanic islands, its canopy reacts visibly to temperature spikes underground
