Ecosystems recover after natural disturbances through a process called ecological succession. This process involves different stages of recovery, starting with pioneer species colonizing the area, followed by a gradual increase in biodiversity as more species establish themselves. Over time, the ecosystem regains its complexity and stability through interactions between plants, animals, and other organisms. The speed and success of recovery depend on various factors such as the severity of the disturbance, the availability of seeds or spores, and external influences like climate and human intervention.
