Yes, the original climax community in an ecosystem is likely to be restored after a natural disturbance or a human caused disturbamnce, but it will take much time; near around 40 - 50 years.

Climax communities are more likely to recover after natural disturbances than human-caused ones because natural events facilitate succession processes, allowing ecosystems to return to stability. In contrast, human activities often cause lasting damage and complicate recovery, reducing the chances of restoring the original ecosystem. Therefore, the type and nature of the disturbance significantly influence the recovery potential of an ecosystem.
