Can Ecosystems Recover from Toxicological Disturbances?
Recovery from toxicological disturbances depends on the severity and nature of the disturbance, as well as the resilience of the ecosystem. Some ecosystems can recover relatively quickly due to adaptive mechanisms and high resilience, while others may take decades or longer to restore. Restoration efforts can aid recovery by removing pollutants, restoring habitat conditions, and reintroducing native species. However, complete recovery is not always possible, and some changes may be permanent.
