Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ecosystems only change slowly after natural disturbances. Changes in ecosystems proceed in a fairly predictable way after a disturbance occurs. Ecosystems eventually stop changing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each part of an ecosystem interacts with, and is influenced by, other members of the system. These interactions are dynamic, leading to changes to any ecosystem over time. Ecosystems recover from disturbances through resource partitioning as resilient species colonize newly created habitats.
Detailed explanation-3: -Natural disturbances include fires, insect outbreaks, disease epidemics, droughts, floods, hurricanes, windstorms, landslides, avalanches, and volcanic eruptions.
