A large hurricane destroys a coastal forest, leaving only a bare, muddy seashore.  The following year, ecologists find small sea grasses growing in the area.  What will an ecologist EXPECT to observe in later years?   This ecosystem will be converted into a grassy beach.   Eventually small shrubs will begin to grow, and after a number of years, trees will grow in this area again.   Nothing will happen because the hurricane destroyed the ecosystem.
