A wild fire permanently destroying all of the low growing plants in a forest would be the most likely reason for evolution to occur, as it would drastically alter the environmental conditions and selection pressures for the species living in that area. This would likely lead to adaptations in the affected species in order to survive and thrive in the changed environment.
