In an ecosystem when a wildfire occurs it can have many effects on the environment. If there is water such as an ocean near by, the fire can cause damage to the reefs and corals in the water. In the forest many animals and plants may die off so for the surviving animals it will be much harder to find food.
During a wildfire more carbon gets released in the air. When this happens, the fire contributes to Global Warming, which is not good for the planet.Forest help maintain the carbon so more climate change doesn't occur. When a forest burns it cannot take the carbon, thus causing global warming.
During a wildfire the nitrogen levels rise. During the fire the fire has the potential to induce a connection between ammonia and nitrogen.
Before a wildfire, a forest helps keep the carbon levels balanced. Carbon is obsorbed through photosynthesis. The forest helps maintain the balance of carbon that humans release and absorb it. When a wildfire occurs, the forest is no longer able to absorb the carbon because all the plants are dying, so all the carbon gets released causing global warming/climate change.
Before a wildfire occurs the animals and plants in the forest have a circle of life, or food web of who eats what. After a forest fire many things change. Some species will die off making it hard for other species to find food. Some species will overpopulate do to the lack of their predators.
After a wildfire ecological succession will occur. Some plants will survive the fire which will immediately begain regeneration. Animals that took refugee or escaped will slowely start coming back and starting new. Plants will start growing because some seeds from trees and grass would have been barried under the dirt.
