    This document discusses community disturbances and their causes, impacts, and importance. It defines a community as a group of interacting species living in the same area. Disturbances can be caused by natural events like wildfires, storms, floods and droughts, or human activities such as deforestation, pollution, overfishing, and invasive species. While disturbances can allow for regeneration and remove dead organisms, they often harm or kill wildlife and reduce biodiversity. Understanding disturbances is important for conservation, management, disaster response, and adapting to climate change.
