The original climax community in an ecosystem is more likely to be restored after a natural disturbance, as it allows for the ecosystem to recover and return to its pre-disturbance state through natural processes. Human-caused disturbances often result in more significant and long-lasting impacts that may prevent the restoration of the original climax community.
A disturbance that harms some organisms but does not significantly impact the overall ecosystem is known as a "sublethal disturbance." This type of disturbance may affect individual species or populations without causing long-term ecological changes or degradation to the habitat as a whole. Examples include localized pollution events or specific predation pressures that impact certain species but allow the ecosystem to maintain its structure and function.
Catastrophic disturbance refers to a sudden and severe event that causes significant disruption or damage to an ecosystem, resulting in long-lasting consequences for the plant and animal populations within that ecosystem. Examples include hurricanes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.
Secondary succession, where plant and animal life recolonize an area after a disturbance has disrupted an existing ecosystem.
A primary disturbance is an event that significantly alters an ecosystem, often leading to immediate and profound changes in the environment. In the case of a volcanic eruption, the primary disturbance includes the release of lava, ash, and gases, which can destroy habitats, alter soil composition, and impact air and water quality. This disruption can lead to the loss of biodiversity and necessitate a period of ecological recovery and succession as the ecosystem rebuilds itself over time.

Small disturbance
Decomposition is not a disturbance of the ecosystem. This is because it is a natural process in harmony with the ecosystem rather than an outside force is interfering.
A primary ecological disturbance will be the one which will directly affect the ecosystem. For example flood, volcanic eruption, earthquake. A secondary ecological disturbance will be the one which will indirectly affect the ecosystem.
a pond is an example of a small ecosystem in a big ecosystem.
A small scale disturbance in a community would be kids squealing their tires at night. These are things that are more annoying than destructive.
I think that the increasing and decreasing of the other populations was a major disturbance that the ecosystem was able to recover compelety
An example of a disturbance could be a natural event like a hurricane or earthquake that disrupts the normal functioning of an ecosystem by causing damage to the environment and affecting the organisms living there.
