Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A disturbance can include various events such as a natural disaster, fire or human activity that can significantly alter the resources available in a community and directly or indirectly remove individuals from the population. This can lead to changes in the community structure and ecological dynamics. Predator, competitor, and disease effects can also impact community dynamics, but they may not necessarily change resource availability or remove individuals in the same way as a disturbance event.
