What else can I help you with?
If a landslide causes a tree in a forest to collapse but the soil remains what type of succession is occurring?
Primary succession, as the area is starting with bare rock or soil that has not previously supported life, allowing for the establishment of plant life and subsequent ecological development.
When no life exists in an area what type of succession begins?
Primary succession occurs in an area with no soil or organic matter, like an area after a volcanic eruption. Secondary succession occurs where there is already soil.
If you wanted to determine whether succession is occurring in a certain area it might be useful to?
Look at old pictures of the area.
Why does primary succession take longer that secondary succession?
Soil nutrients remain in the area which enables plants to grow.
How does Primary succession begins in an area composed of what?
Primary succession begins in an area devoid of soil, such as bare rock or sand. The process starts with pioneer species like lichens and mosses that break down the rock to form soil. As soil accumulates, more complex plant communities can establish and further succession can occur.
What takes place in an area with soil that was once the home of living organisms?
secondary succession
How does secondary succesion differ from primary succession?
Secondary succession occurs in an area that previously had vegetation but was disturbed, allowing for the regrowth of vegetation from the remaining soil and seeds. Primary succession occurs in an area that has never had vegetation, such as a newly formed volcanic island or a glacial moraine, and involves the gradual process of soil formation.
Why would a community undergo secondary success?
the stages of secondary succession are very similar to the stages of primary succession, except that soil already exists in the area
How can you compare the two types of succession and give an example of each?
Primary succession occurs in areas where no soil is present, such as on newly formed volcanic rock, while secondary succession occurs in areas where soil is already present, such as after a forest fire. An example of primary succession is the colonization of barren land by lichens, which break down rock to form soil. An example of secondary succession is the regrowth of vegetation in an area that was previously cleared by a logging activity.
What is a primary plant succession?
Primary plant succession is the process of ecological succession beginning in an area where no soil exists, such as on bare rock or sand. It involves the gradual establishment of plant and animal communities over time, starting with pioneering species that can grow in harsh conditions and eventually leading to more complex and diverse ecosystems.
Which type of succession begins with pre-existing soil?
Secondary succession begins with pre-existing soil, as opposed to primary succession which starts on bare rock or sand with no soil present. In secondary succession, the soil has already been established by previous vegetation that has been disturbed or removed.
Name the material that is present for secondary succession that is not present for primary succession?
Soil is the material present for secondary succession that is not present for primary succession. Soil contains organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms that support plant growth and ecosystem development. In primary succession, soil formation is part of the process that occurs over a longer period of time.
