Answer:

Biodiversity will decrease in the area of the fire.

Explanation:

Biodiversity will be reduced in the area affected by fire, mainly due to factors such as habitat destruction, pollution and exploration of natural resources.

Habitat destruction occurs as a result of the urbanization, deforestation and development of large agricultural works, this destruction is also caused by global warming (or climate change).

In addition, air, soil and water pollution also cause biodiversity loss.

Due to environmental pollution, many species cannot establish themselves, for example due to lack of food, difficulty in accessing drinking water or the emergence of diseases.

Biodiversity can also be threatened by overuse of natural resources such as logging, reducing the number of plants in an ecosystem.

Uncontrolled hunting and fishing are also responsible for reducing the number of individuals of various species.
