Community growing in an area where organisms have never lived?
Primary Succession
What is the role of pioneer organisms in primary succession?
To help form soil that will enable plants to live in the area
What is a primary plant succession?
Primary plant succession is the first stage of succession. Primary succession takes place on land and soil that has undergone a disturbance, eg after a mud slide, fires etc. Primary succession usually involves basic plant life and fungi colonising the disturbed area. These plants tend to be first of all mosses and lichens followed by grasses and small flowering plants. Primary succession over time will provide the soil with more nutrients and will increase the organic horizon layer of soil allowing secondary succession (bushes and larger plants dependant on more nutrients and soil) to commence.

What is it called when organisms begin to colonize a newly formed volcanic island?
Primary succession
Is an abandoned paved parking lot primary succession or secondary succession?
Parking lot is considered primary succession, because no organisms previously lived on it. Parking lots can be considered like rocks, which also undergo primary succession. Overtime soil will be blown onto the parking lot and if not maintained plants will begin to grow thus starting new life= primary succession.
What kind of ecological succession occurs when soil has not yet formed?
primary succession
What is the role of pioneer organisms in primary succession?
To help form soil that will enable plants to live in the area
What is the rate of Primary succession in a tundra biome?
The primary succession of a Tundra biome is that it is a primary succession not a secondary.
Is a volcanic eruption secondary succession or primary succession?
It's primary succession!
Why does secondary succession typically proceed faster than primary succession?
I takes longer for primary succession than secondary succession to go back to its original state
How is primary sucession different from secondary sucession?
Primary Succession- The process of succession that begins in a place previously with out plants or soil . Secondary Succession- Succession that begins in a place that already once was home of living organisms.
