True.
Natural disturbances (fires, floods, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions) often reset successional stages, create habitat heterogeneity, release nutrients, trigger regeneration (e.g., serotinous cones opening after fire), and increase biodiversity over time. The net effect depends on severity, frequency, and the ecosystem's adaptation to that disturbance.
