A mature oak and hickory forest ecosystem experienced an intense forest fire that burned the existing trees to the ground. Despite the intensity of the fire, some soils remained. Total biomass, species richness, and net productivity were reduced significantly after the initial disturbance. There have not been any more fires since. Twenty years after the fire, there are medium-sized trees and bushes growing, as well as ferns and flowering plants. The forest is in the middle, or intermediate, stage of successic How has the current stage of succession affected total biomass, species richness, and net productivity of the ecosystem? Total biomass increased, species richness increased, net productivity decreased Total biomass increased, species richness increased, net productivity increased Total biomass remained the same, species richness decreased, net productivity remained the same O Total biomass decreased, species richness decreased, net productivity decreased
