Tornado can cause extensive damage to the area it passes through. Trees, shrubs and other vegetation are uprooted. Even large trees can be pulled out of the ground and carried by the tornado to another location. Organisms that live in or near these plants need to find safe shelter to relocate after their homes are destroyed. The loss of any species of organisms could also affect the interaction between plants and animals. The tornado often clears out a pathway where anything in its way is removed. The loss of certain plants could allow other species of plants to grow in the newly cleared area. Plants able to withstand the tornado could grow more abundantly than other species that cannot survive severe weather occurrences. The loss of vegetation could contribute to soil erosion.
