The main impact of wildfires on terrestrial ecosystems includes destruction of vegetation, alteration of habitat structure, and immediate loss of biodiversity. While wildfires can have regenerative effects, such as promoting new growth in fire-adapted ecosystems, they can also lead to ecological imbalances, especially if the frequency or intensity of fires increases due to climate change. These changes can disrupt species populations, degrade soil quality, and release stored carbon, thereby contributing to further climate impacts. Effective fire management strategies are crucial for minimizing adverse effects and promoting ecosystem recovery.
