Our comparison with measured ash thickness suggests that 3 cm of ash was enough to disturb the state of the vegetation around OL sufficiently to be evidenced in our change analysis.

However, it can be considered that 3 cm of ash is the threshold thickness above which all vegetation types in the study area showed a significant recovery trend after the eruption, and thus the ash thickness required to systematically affect the state of vegetation.

An eruption of this explosivity today, depositing 5 10 cm of fine-grained ash (as was seen in these deposits; Table 2), would be unprecedented and present a substantial challenge to surrounding local and regional agencies, in terms of public health protection, clean-up (Hayes et al. 2015) and impact on infrastructure and utilities (Wilson et al. 2012).

VAFFs will provide predictions of areas of lapilli fall (lapilli size ≥1 cm) separated from predictions of ash fall and provide recommended actions for people in areas affected, because ash fall and lapilli fall pose different hazards.

Several centimeters of ash (3 5 cm) are probably enough to kill the surface vegetation, but seeds and roots are preserved in the soil and can lead to vegetation establishment quickly after the end of the eruption.

Internally, DBs exhibit thick (up to 20 cm), stoss-constructional, lensoidal layers of a massive mixture of ash, lapilli, and isolated large clasts <10 cm diameter (Fig.  4d).
