A change in a habitat is called a disturbance. Some examples of a human-caused disturbance are deforestation, eutrophication (the addition of nutrients to a body of water), and controlled burning. Some examples of natural disturbances are wildfires and floods.
Disturbances can be very large in scale, like large wildfires, or very small, like the falling of a single tree.
Many human-caused disturbances, like pollution and deforestation, negatively affect the habitat. Others, like controlled burns, are done intentionally to improve the health of the habitat.
Natural disturbances are generally neither good nor bad. They just represent natural fluctuations and changes. Natural disturbances may seem destructive at first, but they are imperative to the normal functioning of the habitat. From disturbance comes new growth. If a tree falls in a forest, there is now a sunny spot on the forest floor that was previously shaded by the tree. Now new plants that need a lot of sun light can grow in that sunny spot. Or another example: some plants can only reproduced after a fire, such as pitch pines which have cones that can only be opened after being heated in a wildfire.
