A major disturbance that the ecosystem was able to recover completely from. give an example
1 answer
One example of a major disturbance that the ecosystem was able to recover completely from is the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. The eruption caused widespread destruction to the surrounding landscape, including the loss of vegetation, animal habitats, and altered soil composition. However, over time, the ecosystem was able to recover as plant and animal species gradually repopulated the area, and the landscape began to heal through natural processes such as succession and soil formation. Today, Mount St. Helens serves as a living laboratory for the study of ecological recovery and succession following a major disturbance.
