How gophers brought Mount St. Helens back to life in one day https://phys.org/news/2024-11-gophers-brought-mount-st-helens.html
"When #MountStHelens erupted in 1980, lava incinerated anything living for miles around. As an experiment, scientists later dropped #gophers onto parts of the mountain for only 24 hours. The benefits from that single day were undeniable—and still visible 40 years later... scientists theorized that, by digging up beneficial #bacteria and #fungi, gophers might be able to help regenerate lost life on the mountain"

In 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted and became the deadliest and most destructive volcanic eruption in U.S. history. This hiker witnessed the eruption from neighboring Mount Adams.
