The ecosystem will change until a new stable community is established.

After a devastating destruction of an ecosystem, the ecosystem will, by ecological succession, undergo a process of change in the ecological community restructuring its species. It may take years to decades, or centuries. The restructured community starts with only a few first, small in complexity plants and animals and develops from there to a greater complexity until a new stable community is established.
