Volcanic eruptions can **drastically alter the ecosystem**.

Eruptions can create new landforms, alter habitats, and impact weather patterns, which can have significant effects on the local flora and fauna. Additionally, while they may add nutrients to the soil and influence biodiversity over time, the immediate effects often include destruction and alteration of existing ecosystems.
