Series of changes that occurs after a disturbance in an ecosystem?
Secondary succession is the series of changes that occur after a disturbance (like a forest fire or hurricane) in an ecosystem.Do not confuse this with primary succession, which is a gradual growth of an ecosystem over a long period of time after a disturbance, such as a volcano that erupted.The difference is that secondary succession occurs when some vegetation and soil remaining after the disturbance, whereas primary succession occurs when very little or no vegetation or soil is present.
Secondary succession begins with an area where?
Secondary Succession refers to the reintroduction of a community to an area that has previously supported life. Reintroduction may have to happen because a wild fire, flood or earthquake has completely destroyed life in this ecosystem. Secondary succession reaches a climax community quicker than in primary succession because spores and seeds of plants may remain in the soil. Whereas in primary succession this would all take time to come about. Just remember any type of succession starts with increasing the biomass of vegetation so that more life can be supported and more food chains evolved.
What are examples of primary and secondary succesion in tundra?
Primary succession is one of two types of ecological succession and biological succession of plant life, and occurs in an environment in which new substrate, devoid of vegetation and usually lacking soil, is deposited (for example a lava flow). (The other type of succession, secondary succession, occurs on substrate that previously supported vegetation before a disturbance destroyed the plant life.) In primary succession pioneer species like mosses, lichen, algae and fungus as well as other abiotic factors like wind and water start to "normalize" the habitat.
