Q&A

How long would it take for wildlife to colonize a newly exposed habitat?

+0
−0

A magical calamity has wiped out an area about twice as big as Germany. The calamity also altered the climate in the region from one supporting forests and grasslands to a desert similar to the American southwest. Think badlands, not sand dunes. Aside from the climate changes, there are no lasting effects of the calamity; nothing comparable to nuclear fallout.

Assuming there was a small desert adjacent to the region from which desert life can spread, how long will it take that life to spread across the whole new desert?
