Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bark beetle outbreaks reduced the dominance of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) on the landscape, increasing compositional diversity. Disturbances decreased structural diversity within stands ( diversity) and increased structural diversity between stands ( diversity).

Detailed explanation-2: -The tree was a good friend of the woodpecker, but he could not stand the woodpecker singing. So when the woodpecker began to sing, the tree shook his boughs and rustled his leaves. The woodpecker was disturbed in the middle of his song, and started hunting again.
