Question

Wildfires have both negative and positive effects on an ecosystem. Which is a negative effect of wildfire on any ecosystem? A) reduced animal habitats B) increased plant diversity C) germination of tree seeds D) removal of thick underbrush

Answer 1

the answer is A reduced animal habitat

Answer 2

The answer is A. The wildfire decimates abiotic and biotic factors in a populations' habitat hence reducing the resources required to sustain the entire population. This devastates the population numbers due to increased competition for reduced resources. Wildfire especially decimates primary producers hence affecting the organisms up the food chain.
