Question: What type of disturbance does Effects of Hurricane Matthew in Haiti and have in common?

<P0-S0> In biology, a disturbance is a temporary change in environmental conditions that causes a pronounced change in an ecosystem. <P0-S1>  Disturbances often act quickly and with great effect, to alter the physical structure or arrangement of biotic and abiotic elements. <P0-S2>  Disturbance can also occur over a long period of time and can impact the biodiversity within an ecosystem. <P0-S3>  Major ecological disturbances may include fires, flooding, windstorms, insect outbreaks and trampling. <P0-S4>  Earthquakes, various types of volcanic eruptions, tsunami, firestorms, impact events, climate change, and the devastating effects of human impact on the environment (anthropogenic disturbances) such as clearcutting, forest clearing and the introduction of invasive species can be considered major disturbances. <P0-S5>  Disturbance forces can have profound immediate effects on ecosystems and can, accordingly, greatly alter the natural community. <P0-S6>  Because of these and the impacts on populations, disturbance determines the future shifts in dominance, various species successively becoming dominant as their life history characteristics, and associated life-forms, are exhibited over time. <SEP> <P1-S0> Hurricane Matthew was a powerful and devastating tropical cyclone which became the first Category 5 Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Felix in 2007. <P1-S1>  The thirteenth named storm, fifth hurricane and second major hurricane of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season, Matthew brought widespread destruction and catastrophic loss of life during its journey across the Western Atlantic, including parts of Haiti, Cuba, Dominican Republic, the Lucayan Archipelago, the southeastern United States, and the Canadian Maritimes. <P1-S2>  A total of 603 deaths have been attributed to the storm, including 546 in Haiti, 47 in the United States, 4 in Cuba, 4 in the Dominican Republic, 1 in Colombia, and 1 in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, making it the deadliest Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Stan in 2005, which killed 1,668 in Central America. <P1-S3>  With the storm causing damages estimated in excess of US $15 billion, it was also the most destructive Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Sandy in 2012, as well as the ninth-costliest Atlantic hurricane in recorded history. <SEP> <P2-S0> Hurricane Matthew struck southwestern Haiti near Les Anglais on October 4, 2016, leaving widespread damage in the impoverished nation. <P2-S1>  Matthew was a late-season Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale, having formed in the southeastern Caribbean on September 28. <P2-S2>  The hurricane weakened to Category 4 before making landfall near Les Anglais on October 4, at which time the National Hurricane Center estimated maximum sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph). <P2-S3>  This made it the strongest storm to hit the nation since Hurricane Cleo in 1964, and the third strongest Haitian landfall on record. <P2-S4>  Hurricane-force winds – 74 mph or greater – affected about 1.125 million people in the country. <P2-S5>  The Haitian government assessed the death toll at 546, although other sources reported more than three times that figure. <SEP> <P3-S0> Hurricane Cleo was the third named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane of the 1964 Atlantic hurricane season. <P3-S1>  Cleo was one of the longest-lived storms of the season. <P3-S2>  This compact yet powerful hurricane travelled through the Caribbean Sea and later hit Florida before moving offshore Georgia into the Carolinas, killing 156 people and causing roughly $187 million in damage. <P3-S3>  Major damage was seen as far north as east-central Florida, with the heaviest rains falling along the immediate coast of the Southeast United States into southeast Virginia.
