- Observation The soil of the El Chichonal crater is acidic and nutrient-poor.
- Observation Poaceae spp. was a co-dominant pioneer plant in the El Chichonal crater.
- Observation Palhinhaea cernua was a non-dominant pioneer plant in the El Chichonal crater.
- Observation 311 microorganisms, mostly bacteria, were isolated from soil, root, stem and water samples of the pioneer vegetation.
- Observation Bacillus cereus and Priestia megaterium were molecularly identified from the pioneer vegetation.
