Start-up ecosystems recover more quickly from less severe disturbance events.

Competition experiments showed that competitive dominants excluded competitively inferior species between disturbance events.

It spreads rapidly in areas subjected to frequent natural disturbance events such as landslides and flooding, but does not grow well in excessively wet, dry, or shady conditions.

This plant genus is peculiar in that it has developed a range of specific adaptations to resist summer drought and frequent disturbance events, such as fire and grazing.

It is estimated that the average time for oscillations inside a galaxy to settle down after a disturbance event is about 1 Gyr, at which point it begins to match MOND.

Native species and ecosystems have evolved alongside natural disturbance events and are adapted to them.

Coupled with the stochastic nature of disturbance events and other long-term (e.g., climatic) changes, such dynamics make it doubtful whether the 'climax' concept ever applies or is particularly useful in considering actual vegetation.

Ecosystems recover more quickly from less severe disturbance events.

The success of a wide range of species from all taxonomic groups is closely tied to natural disturbance events such as fire, flooding, and windstorm.

This area has been left untouched and is monitored to record natural regeneration after this natural disturbance event.
