(9) What would most likely occur after an ecosystem is disrupted by fire? 1. The ecosystem would eventually return to its original state 2. The ecosystem would return to its previous state immediately 3. The ecosystem would evolve into a new ecosystem that is total different from the original 4. The ecosystem would become an ever changing environment with no stability

1. The ecosystem would eventually return to its original state

Explanation:

There is a whole part of ecology concerned about the effects fires have on the ecosystem and its processes. It has been determined that most of the ecosystems are very renewable, managing to return to the previous state after the fires.

For nature, fires are the normal process and the ecosystem is therefore adaptable to them. They manage to help the soil, clean out the litter, and shape the environment for regrowth. There are even species of animals and plants whose existence and reproduction is connected to the fires.

With human interventions in both starting and suppressing the fires, the ecosystem is disrupted and there is less chance of renewal.
