The biological recovery of an area following a volcanic eruption will take different lengths of time for different plants and animals. That's because there are so many variables to consider. A solid biological study was begun (and is still proceeding) in the area of Mount St. Helens, Washington. The blast, which occurred in 1980, devastated a large tract of land around the north slope. It didn't take very long for plants to begin to come back. Animals took longer. There is quite a bit to the recovery process, but the U.S. Forest Service has been following things (as have a number of other research groups), and an introduction to the current state of affairs can be found by using the link to the U.S.F.S. Mount St. Helens Research page.
