Ecosystems can recover after natural disasters through a process called ecological succession. This process involves different stages where vegetation, wildlife, and other components of the ecosystem gradually return and rebuild the ecosystem. Pioneer species are often the first to establish themselves in the affected area, followed by more complex plant and animal species as conditions become more suitable. Over time, the ecosystem regains its biodiversity and stability through natural processes. Human interventions like restoration and conservation efforts can also aid in the recovery of ecosystems after natural disasters.
