Thanks,
However, fertilize is a verb means make something fertile.
Why can't we change it into participial adjective to describe that the land is fertilized by th eruption.
Can I say after the erupting?

No, after the eruption, not after the erupting.
You can say the soil will be fertilzed by the eruption, but not "The soil will be very fertilized."
