Figure 5. Successional patterns caused by the Sollipulli-Alpehue eruption. Primary y-axis shows pollen relative abundance (dotted curve) and Secondary y-axis shows the Pollen Accumulation Rate (continuous curve) of selected taxa. Small boxes at the top indicate successional phases. Pre-eruption is represented in green. Phase I (reddish area) indicates the “collapse” of the vegetation. Phase II (yellowish area), colonization and expansion into the disturbed area. Phase III, reorganization and recovery of original conditions. Note that periods of time are not exact and are used only with schematic purpose.
