Which takes longer primary succession or secondary succession Explain?
primary succession cuz it has 2 break down soil
Name the material that is present for secondary succession that is not present for primary succession?
soil
Succession that occurs on surfaces where no soil exists?
Primary.
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
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 ecological succesion?
Ecological succession is a fundamental phenomenon of ecology. It refers to progressive succession from unstable community to stable community. Initiation of succession is by a) formation of new inhabited area - volcanic eruption; wash out by tsunami etc. b) natural and man made calamities - fire Succession is of two types: Primary - from newly formed soil & secondary - from already existing soil. Ecological succession refers to the orderly and gradual process in a given ecosystem.
What would be the characteristics of a successful pioneer species in a secondary succession?
Primary succession is one of two types of biological succession and ecological succession of plant life. It occurs in an environment in which new substrate is devoid of vegetation and usually lacking soil.
Is primary succession faster than secondary succession?
Secondary succession is faster than primary succession because soil is already there and the soil usually contains many seeds.

What material is present in secondary succession but not in primary succession?
soil
Does secondary succession typically proceed faster than primary succession?

Primary.
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 type of ecological succession will follow a tornado?
A tornado destroys vegetation but leaves the soil and its contents largely intact, therefore we have secondary 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
