Primary Succession - Succession that begins in an area with no remnants of an older community.
During primary succession, species (known as pioneer species) colonize barren areas. One ecological pioneer that grows on bare rock is lichen-a mutualistic symbiosis between a fungus and alga. Over time, lichens convert, or fix, atmospheric nitrogen into useful forms for other organisms, break down rock, and add organic material to form soil. As lichens add organic matter and form soil, mosses and other plants can colonize and grow. As organic matter continues to accumulate, other species move in and change the environment further. Over time, more and more species can find suitable niches and survive.

What is the process by which one community gradually changes into another?
Ecological Succession--The gradual replacement of one community by anotherPrimary Succession--Ecological succession that happens where there are few, if any, living things.Secondary Succession--Ecological succession in a place where a community already exists.
What is the difference between succession and slow succession?
Succession refers to the process of change in a biological community over time, typically following a disturbance. Slow succession simply refers to the gradual pace of this change compared to rapid or fast succession. Slow succession may take place over many years or even centuries, while rapid succession can occur more quickly, such as after a wildfire.
What happens in succession?
when your in your succession you'll know what to do after you done a failure because without failure there is no success in life and no glory.
Secondary Succession?
When change happens due to being disturbed
What happens when you press the mouse button twice in rapid succession?
double click
Are people replanting in the coniferous forest?
people are but it usually happens by natural succession
How does ecosystem change during succession?
It has more biodiversity.
What causes an secondary succession to occur and what happens to the soil?
Secondary succession occurs after a disturbance such as a fire, logging, or farming that removes existing vegetation but leaves soil intact. As the soil is already present, it has a greater capacity to support plant growth compared to primary succession where soil needs to be formed first. During secondary succession, the soil can be enriched and improved by the decomposition of plant material, leading to increased fertility over time.
Why does Secondary succession happen more frequently than primary succession?
Secondary succession happens more frequently than primary succession because the disruption to the environment is usually less severe in secondary succession, making it easier for organisms to recolonize the area. Additionally, the soil in secondary succession is usually already present, allowing for quicker establishment of plant life. This results in a faster and more common occurrence of secondary succession compared to primary succession.
What happens when something interrupts the process of succession?
When something interrupts the process of succession, such as a disturbance like a natural disaster or a sudden change in environmental conditions, it can reset or alter the sequence of species recovery and growth. This interruption can lead to shifts in the ecosystem dynamics, influencing the composition of species and the overall trajectory of succession.
When succession begins habitats have few examples of life called?
Primary succession happens in a place where there is no soil and as a gradual growth of an ecosystem over a long period of time. Secondary succession occurs where there is already vegetation but has been destroyed by a natural disaster.
