The extensive size of the fires that burned Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caught both land managers and ecologists by surpri
se. Many forests suffered intense infernos that removed virtually all vegetation. Some speculated that the park would never recover. Based on what you learned and disturbance and succession, is it likely that the park was irrevocably altered
It is not possible that the park has been irrevocably altered.
Explanation:
The fires are part of the ecology of Yellowstone National Park, and there is a very low risk that this park will be irreversibly modified after a fire. It is scientifically proven that Yellowstone has recovered from fires in a period of thirty years and that the risk of this recovery not happening is very low. In addition, the natural fires that occur in Yellowstone are, in a way, important for the maintenance of the park's ecosystem, since they are able to break the seed dormancy that are in the soil, in addition to promoting the opening of the serine pine cones.
Seed dormancy is the difficulty of germinating that some seeds present, even in an environment with favorable conditions for germination.
The human eye is grief in damage of in-depth perception, color recognition, and peripheral vision. Judging speed and distance based on visual evidence is also more difficult in the dark. In addition, the darkness of night, and even the dimness of dusk and dawn.
