statement is the best possible explanation for this? (1) Altered ecosystems regain stability through the evolution of new plant species. (2) Destroyed environments can recover as a result of the process of ecological succession. (3) Geographic barriers prevent the migration of animals to island habitats. (4) Destroyed ecosystems always return to their
