What will happen if a tornado uproots most of the trees in an ecosystem?
If a tornado uproots most of the trees in an area, then secondary succession will occur. In secondary succession, the vegetation itself or much of it has been destroyed, but the soil and seeds remain in place. Plants will grow from these seeds. Eventually new trees will grow and, after a few decades, the area will have returned to normal.
How does secondary succession differ from primary succession?
Primary succession occurs after the complete wipe out of vegetation. After the wipe out occurs, small shrubs and grasses grow. Secondary succession however, occurs when there has been destruction to the land, but not enough to completely devastate the area. Hard woods grow during secondary succession.
