“…Rapid changes in the Caspian 60 Sea (CS) level offer a unique opportunity to study global environmental 61 changes, considering the CS as a small-scale model of the world ocean 62 (Kroonenberg et al, 2000). The increasing demands for development of 63 human activities in the coastal areas reinforce the necessity for unravelling 64 the history of sea-level fluctuations (Leroy et al, 2010). Records of the CS-65 level changes have been discovered both offshore and in coastal sediments 66 (Rychagov, 1997;Leroy et al, 2007).…”

“…Nevertheless, some admit that before the occurrence of a natural disaster, nature tends to send related signals to humans through natural messengers or ecological indicators (Leroy et al , ; WHO, ). Natural messengers not only include animals, wind, climate, and the location of stars, but also plants.…”

Only a few rigorous studies have attempted to focus on the topic of plant indicators in relation to natural disasters, although recently an increasing number of people have realized its significance. In an effort to aid disaster management, this article studied and aimed to improve the status of plant indicators in predicting or signaling natural disasters. Using a qualitative content analysis, the plant indicators' uncertain status and certain status are systematically compared using specific plants, developed community efforts, indigenous community traditions, and characteristics of natural disaster management. A key tenet is that all stakeholders must change plant indicators' uncertain status to certain status by comprehensively elaborating on the integration between developed communities and indigenous communities, plant indicators as a research agenda, the inclusion of plant indicators in disaster management policy and local plans, and education and training.
