Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural disturbances, such as wildfires, floods, and hurricanes, can alter the physical and biological conditions of an ecosystem. This can lead to the release of nutrients as well as changes in nutrient uptake and cycling within the ecosystem. The other options, maintaining the status quo and uptake of resources, do not accurately reflect the immediate effects of natural disturbances.
