Habitat disturbance refers to human-induced or natural events that disrupt the ecological balance of a particular habitat. These disturbances can alter the physical or biological characteristics of an ecosystem, leading to changes in species composition, population dynamics, and overall ecosystem function. Examples of habitat disturbances include deforestation, urbanization, pollution, invasive species introductions, and natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, or earthquakes. These disturbances can have negative impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and the overall health and functioning of an ecosystem. Researchers studying habitat disturbance aim to understand the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to mitigate the impacts of these disturbances on ecosystems. This research can help inform conservation and management strategies to protect and restore habitats for the benefit of both wildlife and humans.
