The study indicates that ash from the #Nishinoshima #eruptions was transported by wind and #ocean currents to the waters around #Mukojima, serving as a nutrient source for #phytoplankton growth in that area.
The findings suggest that volcanic ash can enhance the productivity of #marine waters even at considerable distances from the #volcanic site.
