How do the abiotic and biotic factors change as an open field undergoes succession?

Answer 1

An open field's abiotic and biotic factors change when it undergoes succession. The biotic factors change from being small insects like ants, Spiders, and mites to mice, foxes, birds, and snakes. The open field is a habitat for small insects because it has grass, other insects, and dirt to eat. When the field turns into a forest there comes different animals because there are different things to eat. The forest is a habitat for small animals because there are tree leaves, other animals, berries, and many other things to eat. In addition to animals, other biotic factors appear when the field undergoes succession. Fungus starts to grow in the now, forest. Fungus grows because the tree cover makes it damper on the forest floor. The fungi will grow in the hot, damp places in the forest.

Abiotic factors change as well as Biotic factors. In an open field there is nothing stopping the wind from rushing through it. When the field undergoes succession there is less wind because there are trees to block it from blowing in. Temperature changes likewise to wind. In the open field the temperature would be warm because the sun is able to heat the ground where as in a forest the trees shade the forest floor causing it to stay cool. The tree cover also makes the forest floor more damp compared to the open field's ground which will be dry because of the sun's availability to evaporate the damp spots on the ground.

All things considered, I believe many abiotic and biotic factors change as an open field undergoes succession.
